Asanko prioritises Akwasiso ahead of Dynamite Hill following fast Ghanaian approval

The Ghanaian government has given the green light for TSX- and NYSE MKT-listed miner Asanko Gold to start mining operations at the Akwasiso deposit, in Ghana, ahead of the Dynamite Hill deposit, as previously planned. The Vancouver-based company will benefit from greater mining flexibility by mining Akwasiso ahead of Dynamite Hill, since it is about 4 km closer to the carbon-in-leach processing facility, thereby reducing the transport and site establishment costs, as well as being of higher grade and larger than Dynamite Hill.
