Executives of Chifeng Gold, owners of Golden Star Wassa, on 10th and 11th April 2025 paid a series of courtesy visits to its stakeholders in Ghana including newly appointed government officials. The visits reinforced the company’s commitment to its stakeholders as partners in delivering value from its operations in Wassa.

Chifeng’s delegation, comprising Chairman Mr. Wang Jianhua, CEO Ms. Lydia Yang, and Kevin Chen, Chairman of Golden Star Wassa Ltd, met with Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, Minister for Lands and Natural Resources. Discussions centered on Chifeng Gold’s listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX), a strategic move to elevate the company’s global profile and enhance its capacity to deliver long-term value. The Chairman and CEO also shared Chifeng’s plans to expand production and processing capacity at the Wassa mine, aiming to increase resource utilization, improve mining efficiency, and contribute more significantly to Ghana’s mining sector.

In a separate meeting with the Minerals Commission, the executives were commended by CEO Martin Ayisi for their proactive approach to regulatory compliance, reflecting positively on Golden Star’s operational standards.

The team also engaged with the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations and the Ghana Mine Workers’ Union, the umbrella organization for GSR Wassa’s in-house labor unions. These interactions focused on collaboration, workforce welfare, and shared goals for industrial harmony.

Ms. Lydia Yang emphasized the significance of these engagements, stating, “Wassa mine is a key asset for Chifeng Gold’s global portfolio. These visits enable us to maintain strong relationships with our stakeholders. Also, such courtesy calls are deeply rooted in both Ghanaian and Chinese cultures, reflecting mutual respect and our commitment to collaborative growth.”

Since it acquired Golden Star in 2022, Chifeng Gold continues to demonstrate its commitment to sustainable development and proactive stakeholder engagement in Ghana’s mining sector.
