  Young man. How much were you paid to speak for GoldFirlds and betray your conscience. Have you seen the plights of unfortunate young people like yourself who are trapped in vicious poverty when the wealth beneath their feet are exploited without compensation of basic human subsistence amenities? Not even supporting basic education, healthcare etc as sustainable CSR they are required to perform. Negotiate for what? Have you not seen the reset agenda? Are you happy about Africa was headed before the reset?

  He carries that typical African slave mentality. A great lover of mediocrity he is. Bloody fool. Very soon, we shall even stop every mining activity in the country, because the returns we get from the mining operations doesn't come anywhere near what the multinationals are reaping from us. We are better of leaving our gold in the ground for our future generations

  Another corrupt, slavery mentality, selfish, unpatriotic Ghanaian, good for nothing, and useless comment by so called expert, expert in what, think about the bigger picture and grow up, instead of spewing nonsense to confuse the citizens. We cannot be poor for life, give away our wealth, minerals for nothing, 15 percent and go for loans to survive. We need to learn to work for ourselves, to feed ourselves, and that means taking back ownership of all our mines, Ghanaian own or under Ghana government ownership, all the money stays in Ghana. There is no argument to support renewal of any mining contract in Ghana anymore, it is that simple, not for debate.

  Revenue from mining companies goes to the central government.Cocoa scholarship is for all Ghanaians.
  How many people can the mine employ?
  Glass factory and Bonsa Tyre used to operate and collapsed.Roads in that area in poor condition due to manganese and Bauxite on the roads.Mainly due to collapse of the rail network.
  We need investors to expand current mines build new mines and engage in active exploration.
  Government can increase stake in current ventures.
  Botswana does not own mines 100 per cent but model working same with Ethiopia Airlines.
  Need more mines factories etc
  Botswana economy struggling now due to low diamond prices.
  Why don't we take over lithium project ?
  Make it s showpiece of how nationalisation works.
  Once so much noise starts on nationalisation companies reduce investment like exploration capital.
  Probduction starts dropping and there is a perfect storm when prices drop.
  Investors look at what is happening in the whole country to bring in money.
  Cote D'Ivoire
  Guinea
  Namibia
  Zambia are attracting huge investment in mines.
  Tactful negotiations needed .
  Need a state mining company.
  MIIF increase stake in some mines

  Absolutely. I agree with you. Government must renegotiate with Goldfields. They have really invested heavily turning the Mine into a world class one.

  I like Dangote built his own cement factories and Oil refinery.All over Africa cement factories.
  All doing well.Real empowerment.
  What prevents us from opening our own mines ?
  Lithium should be a test case.

  Massa Dangote has had immense help from the Nigerian gov't. Deservedly so but don't think that he hasn't had help along the way.

  THE TRICKY AND EVIL WHITE MAN AND HIS RACIST GANG OF ALLIES AND CORPORATIONS ARE SECRETLY PLANING SOME SERIOUS STRATEGIC FAKE GLOBALIZATIONAL WORLD AGENDAS (including a war) WITH CHINA - JUST TO PLUNGE AFRICA AND ALL BLACK NATIONS INTO ECONOMIC DISTRESS AND DERAIL EVERY BLACK NATION'S PROGRESS IN DEVELOPMENT AND EMPOWERMENT. If you give the FAKE, tricky, corrupt and evil white man an inch, he would take a step to make THE LIE look like THE TRUTH and make immorality become moral and turn every natural way of living into an artificial way of living, so that he can continue to control the money, power and the people. THE TRICKY WHITE MAN IS A THREAT TO ALL LIVING THINGS ON EARTH because he is unnatural to the earth - and BLACK PEOPLE should be wiser enough now to CUT ALL ECONOMIC AND SECURITY TIES with the tricky white man and also shut down and block all his loopholes and world agendas he comes up with.
  
  GLOBALIZATION is a recipe for Modern Slavery, Human Rights Abuse, Dictatorship and Exploitation. Any entity or corporation that wants to control and change your believe system, your culture and lifestyle and your mood and happiness - before doing business with you, is rather a serious THREAT to you and your entire future generations. Business is Business and any other thing must be taken out!
  
  When you begin to see China strategically changing it's Foreign Policy in the world, is a clear sign that the tricky, greedy, corrupt, Rights Abusive and evil white man is behind it all. Between now 2026 and 2029, Ghana/Africa and all Black Nations in the world must begin to localize every foreign infrastructural economic agreements with the Chinese and other (white man) investors, in other to decrease the rate of foreign importation and dependency drastically. All BLACK nations in the world must begin to order and push these investors, especially the Chinese to start building their headquarters and manufacturing factories in their respective countries in other to DOMESTICATE and exit every foreign economic dependency. Ghana/Africa and all black nations must begin to KICK OUT these Chinese and other foreign investors when they refuse to comply.
  
  When you see all these greedy, wicked and corrupt so called leaders of the West (white man)visiting black nations in the world and talking about ONENESS and equality in partnership and trade is a clear sign they are plotting something extremely wicked and fatal behind the scene towards BLACK people. So called white people are not at all equal to BLACK people - they are far far far inferior to BLACK people and their time and reality is catching up with them. Even NATURE is anti white people - when you do a critical NATURE research, you would find out that almost every natural thing on and inside the EARTH was created for BLACK people existence - and that is the main reason why the tricky white man is constantly experimenting every little thing whiles attacking NATURE and trying every possible dubious means to change the natural ways of living into an artificial lifestyle. The BRAIN in the heads of BLACK people are far more in tuned and advance than that of white people - and the white man knows it, that is why he uses oppressive methods and FAKE scientific and TRICKNOLOGY narratives against BLACK people to make white people feel good about themselves.
  The tricky, greedy, corrupt and evil white man and his evil boss - the Roman Catholic Church are also seriously planning with China on how they can use technology to globally FAKE the so called ANTI-CHRIST in the skies - and also FAKE the so called Alien contact with humans. The most corrupt, Human Rights abusive and evil Roman Catholic Church and it's racist white little boy have paid so many pastors and preachers to start talking about the END TIMES and the coming of the FAKE so called jesus christ. They (the west and the Roman Catholic Church) are trying to use corrupt, tricky and every dubious means possible to try and introduce a modern slavery and dictatorship era, but it shall seriously BACKFIRE big time in their faces because the ancestors of ALKEBULAN/KEMET (AFRICA) are already awaken and are now highly alive in so many BLACK babies, children, young adults and some grown ups. The tricks and methods, including the FAKE so called word of God - the ''bible'' which the evil white man use to enslave black people shall no longer work, because black people worldwide shall continue to rise and rise until they've taken over and taken back the entire planet which was created for them by their TRUE NATURE TRADITIONAL SUPREME CREATOR who is not in some heaven but right here on Earth. The world would not end today nor tomorrow - and no human or mankind being can destroy the world, DO NOT BE FOOLLED by the tricky and evil white man and his racist gang of allies, pastors and corporations. Did the world come to end when the evil white man was molesting, raping, beating, destroying and killing BLACK people during slavery? Did the world end during the 1st and 2nd and 3rd war? Did Japan and the world come to an end entirely when the evil white man wickedly dropped the atomic bomb on Japan? Why would pastors continue to take those FAKE and greedy tithes and offering and even continue to ask their church members to continue donating money for church projects and programs if they know the world is coming to an end? Severe FEAR and destruction has engulfed the tricky and evil white man because he has seen the enormous rise of the black race all over the world, so he's trying to use the old trick in the book to cause confusions and wars in other to save his face, but it is too too and too late for the white man.
  
  Ghana/Africa and all black nations in the world must drug the so called Pope and the entire Roman Catholic Church to the I.C.C, U.N, and the I.C.J for genocide committed against BLACK people during slavery and colonization. The Roman Catholic Church is a terrorist organization that was seriously directly involved in slavery - and apologizing for slavery is simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Any entity or corporation that destroyed and killed millions of people must not be allowed to walk free. It is time for all black nations in the world to start blocking all the loopholes and start shutting down all these white propaganda machines (the churches) that always leads to BLACK people destruction. Just take a serious look at the number of BLACK people that have died through the methods of that so called JEHOVA'S WITNESSES? BLACK people must start reasoning in their thinking, there is nothing holy and spiritual about the bible - and it is clearly not the word of the TRUE NATURE TRADITIONAL SUPREME CREATOR GOD of the people of ALKEBULAN/KEMET (AFRICA) That so called God in that useless fake bible is a complete white man, because he is a Terrorist, Divisive, Racist, Arrogant, Wicked, Unintelligent, Human Rights Abusive, a Destroyer, a Killer, Unjust and a colonizer. Come to think of it - white people NEVER EXISTED until about thousand plus years ago, so why would some god give the colonizer a so called salvation book when BLACK people was created and lived long long ago about some hundreds of thousand years before the white man came into existence?
  
  The tricky and evil white man and his religion has been and still is a SERIOUS THREAT to every living thing on EARTH and it's about time ALKEBULAN/KEMET (AFRICA) and all black nations shut down the corrupt white man and his propaganda machines and world agendas.

  Negotiate what? Hell NO! Mr so called mining analyst , please analyze and come again, else, shut up. Government should set a management board, flout shares to Ghanaians to participate in the ownership structure in Tarkwa Gold Fields. And finally hire the same company operating the mines to continue operations. After 30 years of operations do you know how much profit they have made? We are indeed lucky to have the mine still having a life expectancy. It may not have enough ore-body left, let’s use this God given opportunity to savage some profit and use it to start a rail way line from Accra to Kumasi. It least we can say that we use Tarkwa Gold field’s proceeds to revamp another national asset.

  Goldfields have exploited Ghana for far too long because of our selfish, greedy and vision less leaders.For close to 30 good years they have depleted our gold resources into their country via Tarkwa mines,Darmang and Anglogold.The price of gold has gone up.Its time Ghana takes hold of her natural resources and herself to redeem the country's image in wealth.Come next year the govt.must give Tarkwa mines 6 months to wrap up so we can take up our mines for development in our country.
