What Heath Goldfields does

Heath Goldfields Ltd. is a Ghanaian-owned gold mining company founded in 2024 that in January 2025 assumed the mining lease for the historic Bogoso-Prestea Gold Mine in Ghana's Western Region, restarting production with a first gold pour on 19 February 2026 after a 24-month shutdown. The company operates a 1.5 million tonne per annum Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) processing plant together with sulphide processing infrastructure, restored tailings storage facilities, grid power access and developed road networks, supporting combined surface and underground mining with a targeted phased ramp from 3,000 to 8,000 ounces per month. The asset is anchored by a 5.1 million ounce Measured & Indicated resource compliant with SK-1300 standards, building on a district that has produced over 9 million ounces of gold since 1912, with a 10% government carried interest held by the Government of Ghana.

The business model is a single-commodity gold producer with all disclosed offtake volume (700,000 ounces) committed to Trafigura under a market-linked pricing corridor of $3,300-$4,000 per ounce tied to LBMA spot conventions; a $65 million Trafigura debt facility supports the restart. The company is in the early stages of a $135 million first-year investment programme and a broader $500 million ten-year phased plan, deploying a $35 million Komatsu 785 fleet through local partner Fridoug Company Limited. Its customer set is concentrated on commodity trading firms (Trafigura), the Government of Ghana as regulator and 10% carried-interest partner, host communities in the Bogoso-Prestea enclave, local contractors, and global mining investors reached through PDAC 2026 and Mining Indaba 2026. Beyond mining, Heath Goldfields operates the Daakye Oil Palm Plantations Limited (DOPP) social enterprise supporting 1,000+ farmers under a US$20 million five-year Community Development Plan, positioning agribusiness as a complementary vertical alongside the gold operation.
