Damang Gold Mine Airport Project Costs 80 Million Dollars

The Damang Gold Mine airstrip is being upgraded to a full airport at a cost of up to 80 million dollars.

Damang Gold Mine Limited’s Community Relations Manager, Ramy Oboro, disclosed that the company’s planned airport in the Western Region is expected to cost at least USD$80 million to complete.

Speaking on a special edition of Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen in Tarkwa-Damang, Mr Oboro said the project is part of the company’s broader investment drive since taking over operations from Gold Fields in April 2026. He said the airport will improve logistics for the mine and enhance connectivity for host communities.

The disclosure comes as Damang ramps up production under its new operator, Engineers and Planners. The mine’s Manager in charge of Mining, Frank Dankyi Agyei, said the mine extracted approximately 12.1 million tonnes of material between April and September 2026, with fresh material from active mining accounting for 60 per cent of plant feed.

The Damang mine, located 30km north of Tarkwa in the Western Region, spans 23,666 hectares and ranks among Ghana’s largest gold mines. Engineers and Planners was confirmed as the new operator in April 2026 after a competitive tender, with government directing that operations continue to protect jobs and community livelihoods.

Mr Oboro said the airport project mirrors similar mining-led infrastructure in the country and will support the transportation of employees, equipment and bullion, while opening the Western Region to business and tourism. The company has also committed a portion of its gold output to a community foundation fund and pledged to award project contracts to businesses within host communities.
