AngloGold Ashanti (Iduapriem) Limited operates the Iduapriem Mine in the Western Region of Ghana, about 17km southwest of Tarkwa. Iduapriem Mine started operation in June 1992 as the Ghanaian Australian Goldfields Limited. It became part of the AngloGold Group in 2004 following the business combination with Ashanti Goldfields Limited.
Iduapriem, a 137km2 concession which includes Ajopa South West, is located in the western region of Ghana, some 70km north of the coastal city of Takoradi and about 10km south-west of Gold Fields’ Tarkwa mine.
Iduapriem is an open-pit mine with two processing circuits each comprising twostage milling – a gravity circuit and a carbon-in-leach (CIL) plant. The gravity circuit recovers about 30% of the gold and the remainder is recovered by the 418ktpm capacity CIL plant.
