And Chinese do have a lot of Gold in China, but they've kept their full FOCUS on Ghana's Mineral resources: However, they've kept thire own for thire future generations. Iam therefore in emotionally pleading to the Leadership, and the Government of Ghana to analize this situation. The Chines poeple are finding any means to outmart Ghana, as well as the most of the African Countries....

I heard ndc saying Ghana Mines for Ghanaians when they refused to renew the contract of the Damang mines? Why now Ghana mines for the Chinese and not for Ghanaians?

You should as rather as what was in the original contract signed between government and Newmont. That to me is where Ghana fucked up.

WAA LOOK! A US$1 BILLION GOLD MINING COMPANY IN OUR OWN BACKYARD CHANGING 100% OWNERSHIP FROM ONE FOREIGN COMPANY TO ANOTHER FOREIGN COMPANY. THIS CAN ONLY HAPPEN IN BANKRUPT HIGHLY-INDEBTED GHANA. GHANA'S LEADERS DO NOT HAVE THE MINDSET OF HUMANS. 7 months ago

WAA LOOK! A US$1 BILLION GOLD MINING COMPANY IN OUR OWN BACKYARD CHANGING 100% OWNERSHIP FROM ONE FOREIGN COMPANY TO ANOTHER FOREIGN COMPANY. THIS CAN ONLY HAPPEN IN BANKRUPT GHANA WITH DUMB LEADERS.

GHANA'S LEADERS DO NOT HAVE THE MINDSET OF HUMANS. EVEN ANIMALS KNOW THE STRATEGIC NEED TO PROTECT THEIR HABITATS AND THE FOOD SOURCES THEREIN.

NO WONDER GHANA IS ALWAYS BANKRUPT AND CONSTANTLY CHASING THE IMF/WORLD BANK FOR LOANS.

WHAT PREVENTS GHANA'S USELESS LEADERS FROM USING US$1 BILLION OF THE US$3 BILLION IMF LOAN FROM ACQUIRING AT LEAST 53% CONTROLLING SHARES OR STAKES IN THIS US$1 BILLION GOLD MINING COMPANY IN OUR OWN COUNTRY? .

If Burkina Faso is mining and refining their own gold why can’t we? Ibrahim mahama can supply all the machineries for every form of mining in the country.

This must never be allowed in any shape and form.
Look at the profitability, you tell me you do this because you mean well for the shareholders...
Just doesn't make any sense

This is unacceptable and outrageous. Our leaders should be very careful with Chinese investors. Let's do away with them. They're oblivious and insensitive to the destruction of our environment.
