Over 500 attend National Mining Dialogue 2026 organised by Asempa FM

More than 500 individuals attended the National Mining Dialogue 2026, organized by Asempa 94.7 FM and Ekosii Sen, surpassing the organizers' initial expectation of 200 participants. The event took place at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City, with support from various stakeholders including Semmis DS Group Limited, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, the Minerals Commission, the Ghana Gold Board, and the Ghana Medical Trust Fund.

Programmes Manager and host of Ekosii Sen, Philip Osei Bonsu, expressed surprise at the high turnout, stating that the event exceeded expectations and signaled strong public interest in the mining sector. The organizers had initially planned for about 200 attendees based on the venue's capacity, but registration records revealed that over 500 people participated.

Osei Bonsu praised the collaboration between Semmis DS Group Limited, government agencies, and other partners, while also thanking the Ghanaian public for their support. The organizers plan to conduct a thorough review of the event before deciding on the next National Mining Dialogue, considering factors such as venue, date, and format.

Osei Bonsu hinted at the possibility of future editions being held outside Accra, citing the history of previous mining-related discussions taking place in different regions of the country.
