Shareholder dialogue based on socio-economic impact of Newmont in Ghana

August 4, 2011

Recently, Newmont Ghana published the socio-economic impact assessment we conducted together with Ethan Kapstein (associate partner Steward Redqueen). The report describes the socio-economic impacts of the gold mine operated by Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (NGGL) in the Brong-Ahafo Region of Ghana both on the local community and on the nation as a whole. In addition, the study also makes the observation that Newmont’s investment will make the company a major player in the economy and advices the Ghanaian government and the company itself on what should be done after the closure of the mine in order to contribute to the long-term development of the country as mining projects usually come to an end.
