Rand Refinery Joins Mining in Motion Summit as Silver Sponsor
Rand Refinery Limited plays a crucial role in driving the growth of Ghana's gold upstream sector, providing services such as smelting, evaluation, refining and recovery of previous metals. The company's largest shareholders operate some of Ghana's largest mines. Notably, AngloGold Ashanti operates the 268,000 ounce-per year (oz/y) Iduapriem mine and the 224 oz/y Obuasi mine, while Gold Fields manages the Tarkwa facility. Meanwhile, Rand Refinery has the exclusive rights to refine gold recovery company Goldplat's Ghanaian production. An agreement is in place whereby Goldplat has first right of refusal to process all Rand Refinery's by-products not suitable for its own refining process.
As Ghana maximizes the growth of its gold sector through collaboration with global partners, enhancing cooperation with investors such as Rand Refinery Limited is critical. The firm's participation at Mining in Motion demonstrates its dedication to strengthening relationships within the Ghanaian gold industry and to unlocking growing prospects within the upstream and downstream sectors.
Mining in Motion is organized by the Ashanti Green Initiative in partnership with the World Bank, the World Gold Council and other international stakeholders. The event brings together key decision-makers, including H.E. John Dramani Mahama, President of Ghana, alongside public and private sector leaders from the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States and the United Nations, to discuss the future of gold mining.

President Mahama meets Alex Soros of the Open Society Foundations
President John Dramani Mahama held a highly productive meeting on Friday with Mr. Alex Soros, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Open Society Foundations (OSF). The discussion centred on Ghana's notable progress in economic recovery, democratic governance, and regional stability. President Mahama took the opportunity to brief Mr. Soros on the key policy measures driving Ghana's economic revival and the notable progress being made. He elaborated on the government's 'Reset Agenda' aimed at fostering a positive national mindset, ongoing efforts to strengthen accountability institutions, and recent developments within the ECOWAS sub-region. Ghana: A Beacon of Democracy. President Mahama reiterated Ghana's unwavering commitment to upholding the values of democracy, respect for human rights, and the fundamental freedoms of its citizenry. He noted Ghana's stellar reputation for democratic governance, marked by peaceful transitions under its 33-year-old Fourth Republican Constitution. 'We've had nine elections, all of which have been successful. And we've experienced several peaceful changes of government from one party to another, all of which have occurred smoothly.' On the economic front, President Mahama stated that Ghana's economy is recovering rapidly, a direct result of bold fiscal and monetary policies underpinned by robust governance principles. He noted the appreciation of the Ghana Cedi by approximately 42% and a sharp decline in the debt-to-GDP ratio, with the government targeting single-digit inflation in the coming months. The President acknowledged that investor confidence had waned in the past due to governance challenges and weakened institutions. However, he reassured Mr. Soros that his administration is committed to non-interference in corruption-related cases and has instituted strict disciplinary measures for all appointees. 'There was a lot of corruption and a lack of accountability. So, we came in with a comprehensive programme to strengthen anti-corruption institutions,' President Mahama explained, referencing the 'Operation Recover All the Loot (ORAL),' a major initiative to recover state assets. 'You will continue to hear of prosecutions and other measures against individuals who have mismanaged public resources, as we steadfastly pursue accountability.' Addressing the delicate relations with the three Sahelian countries – Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger – President Mahama assured Mr. Soros of positive progress in ongoing efforts to reunite the sub-region. He referred to visits to the three countries to establish channels for continuous communication and dialogue. 'We held an ECOWAS meeting barely three weeks ago, and happily, the whole mood has changed. There is now a clear appetite for rapprochement between ECOWAS and the three countries,' he said. 'Discussions are ongoing between the ECOWAS Secretariat and these nations. In the meantime, we all agreed to prioritise the free movement of people and goods across our borders and encourage transit trade.' On his part, Mr. Alex Soros congratulated President Mahama on his re-election victory and commended his leadership. He explained that his visit to Ghana was part of activities marking the 50th anniversary of ECOWAS. He noted that the Open Society Foundations in Africa have historically championed ECOWAS integration, celebrating significant achievements such as visa-free travel. Mr. Soros, an investor and philanthropist, expressed his foundation's interest in exploring partnerships and providing support for further regional integration efforts. Besides chairing the OSF Board, he also sits on the investment committee for the Soros Fund Management. Distributed by APO Group on behalf of The Presidency, Republic of Ghana.
