In this episode we chat to Eric Asubonteng, MD of AngloGold Ashanti Obuasi Mine who are an independent, global gold mining company with a diverse, high-quality portfolio of operations, projects and exploration activities across ten countries on four continents. They are the 3rd largest gold producer globally and the largest on the African continent.
Eric is also the President of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, so would be interesting to hear more about that, and how mining is developing in Ghana and in the African market and what lessons can be learnt.
