Senior Vice President Continental Africa Region (CAR) Sicelo Ntuli cutting the tape for the new mining office complex for AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem Gold Mine
A new office complex, estimated at $233,770, was commissioned at the premises of the AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem Mine in Tarkwa on Wednesday 18, April 2018.
The ultramodern office complex was commissioned by the Senior Vice President – Continental Africa Region, Sicelo Ntuli.
The plaque was unveiled by the Chief Operating Officer International of AngloGold Ashanti Limited, Ludwig Eybers.
The office complex has some few additions, including a bigger working area to accommodate all the employees of the various sections of the mining.
It is user friendly and depicts a modern office and working space.
The construction of the new office block became necessary following the deplorable state of the old mining office which was unsafe.
Area Head of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Antwi, praised management of the mining company for the gesture.
He called on occupants of the facility to maintain it properly.
“As this building is being handed over, let us do our best as individuals and employees to be committed in handling it well for more generations to benefit from it,” he said.
Mr Sicelo Ntuli emphasised that all employees of the company are grateful to the Engineering team for their commitment to constructing the magnificent facility on schedule.
Mr Ludwig Eybers noted that the facility will benefit the municipality even after the life of mine.
Commenting on the benefits of the project to the host communities and Tarkwa municipality, the Gyaasehene of Apinto Stool, Nana Adarkwa Bediako III and the Municipal Chief Executive Gilbert Kennedy Asmah, congratulated the mining company for executing various sustainable projects in the host communities.
They called on the mine to expand its scope and recruit most host community members.
