Are you serious? They are paying off FGRs debts have got the mine up and running. Spent more money on the mine in 5 months than FGR did in 4 years. You’re joking.

Poor journalism
It's a 65 million USD debt finance for 700000 ounces of Gold at 4000 .
Am confused 2 weeks ago same company said 135 million invested
Promised 500 million over 5 years to revive mine 150 million to start Investment from Yildrim.
Now a metal trading company
How much production is Heath Goldfields doing per month now?
How much debt still owed to former workers and third parties?
We don't want FGR stories and Asante Gold losses.
When is the Refractory ore facilities going to be built?
Where are they going to get 700000 ounces when FGR did just over 100000 ounces over 3 years
Just scammers
Mine cannot deliver
We need facts from mine

Maybe you are new to mining.
$135m ALREADY invested in the mine. Another deal 700,000 ounces - what is the gold rate today per ounce. Todays price is 4740 x 700,000 = 3.8B. Please do the calculation. A further deal $65m to ...

Maybe you are new to mining.
$135m ALREADY invested in the mine. Another deal 700,000 ounces - what is the gold rate today per ounce. Todays price is 4740 x 700,000 = 3.8B. Please do the calculation. A further deal $65m to pump into the mine. Do you really think a company as big as Trafigura won’t do their checks. Do you really think they will believe your propaganda over running their own assessments? Not a single financier would risk that money if they haven’t done thorough checks and analysis. Are you bigger than Trafigura? Have you even seen 20,000 cedis in your life let alone 1 million or a billion.

Well done, Heath! Keep proving all your haters wrong. It’s about time we support our own people, instead of taking funds from foreigners for smear campaigns against our own people.

This is significant for Ghana. It sets a precedent for future deals of this kind and strengthens support for local content and local companies.

Your previous managers left the mine flooded for over two years. Do you even understand how long it takes to dewater 13+ levels? At 10 million litres a day, it takes close to eight months just to clear the underground.

They only got the operating permit in December 2025. If you actually understood mining operations, you wouldn’t be talking nonsense. Same tired propaganda.

Heath has stepped in and cleared the bulk of the debt. What remains is severance, which is being handled. If you still have issues, direct them to FGR, the ones who didn’t pay you in the first place.

At least be fair about the situation.
