Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • The Kubi gold mine is an abandoned open pit mine located 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) northeast of Dunkwa-on-Offin and 22 kilometres (14 mi) south of Obuasi, in Central Region, southern Ghana. It is 180 kilometres (110 mi) northwest of the national capital, Accra. Historically a site for artisan mining, the mine was explored by BHP from 1988 to 1996. Nevsun Resources explored further in 1996 to 1998 at which point Ashanti Goldfields took over the property and extracted 500,230 tons of ore. Concerns about ecological damage to the protected Supurma Shelterbelft Forest Reserve paused mining in 2000, but it restarted in 2005. The mine is currently owned by Asante Gold Corporation. As of 2022 they are not mining it, despite stating in 2021 that they planned to do so. (en)
