Claims that we’re only treating stockpiles are false; we’re mining actively – Damang Gold Mine Manager

Damang Gold Mine Ltd's Manager of Mining, Frank Dankyi Agyei, has refuted claims that the company is solely relying on existing stockpiles for its operations. He stated that active mining is indeed taking place at multiple pits, including the Amoanda and Juno pits, with plans to expand operations to the Rex pits. Agyei explained that the Amoanda Pit is undergoing a major cutback to consolidate several previously separate mining areas into one larger pit, expected to have a strike length of approximately 1.8 kilometres.

He further revealed the extensive use of heavy-duty mining equipment, including Liebherr 9400 excavators, Hitachi EX2000 excavators, and Kattega excavators, to support active mining at both the Amoanda and Juno pits. Additionally, the mine has approximately 50 haul trucks, each costing around €4.5 million, underscoring the significant financial investment in sustaining its operations.
