Ghanaian billionaire Ibrahim Mahama’s Damang gold mine has more than doubled its permanent workforce to 426 employees, six months after his company, Engineers and Planners (E&P), took over the mine from Gold Fields. The workforce grew from 207 employees at the April handover, including 120 workers moved from labour-hire contracts onto the permanent payroll.
About 62% of the mine’s full-time staff come from the 10 surrounding communities, exceeding the company’s 60% local-hiring… See more
Ghanaian billionaire Ibrahim Mahama’s Damang gold mine has more than doubled its permanent workforce to 426 employees, six months after his company, Engineers and Planners (E&P), took over the mine from Gold Fields. The workforce grew from 207 employees at the April handover, including 120 workers moved from labour-hire contracts onto the permanent payroll.
About 62% of the mine’s full-time staff come from the 10 surrounding communities, exceeding the company’s 60% local-hiring target. Monthly mining volumes also increased from 1.4 million tonnes in May to 3 million tonnes in September. The company expects its permanent workforce to exceed 500 by the end of 2026 and aims to operate the mine at higher capacity by mid-2027.
However, a promised airport near the mine has fallen behind schedule, with earthworks slowed by hard rock. The project has expanded into a roughly two-kilometre runway designed to accommodate Boeing 737 and 787 aircraft, with construction expected to cost at least $80 million. Meanwhile, E&P is pursuing a $740 million arbitration claim against Gold Fields over alleged underpayment for work at the Tarkwa and Damang mines, a claim Gold Fields disputes.

Recent investment, including Zonda Tec’s expansion of its Tema assembly facility to an annual capacity of 12,000 vehicles, is expected to strengthen the sector and create jobs.

The sealed-in battery era is ending. Europe is pushing phone makers to make batteries easier to replace and built to last longer.
Starting in 2027, mobile phones sold in the EU will generally need batteries that consumers can remove and replace more easily, without requiring proprietary tools or complicated repair methods.
The rules also require replacement batteries to remain available for at least 5 years after a phone model is no longer sold.

The sealed-in battery era is ending. Europe is pushing phone makers to make batteries easier to replace and built to last longer.
Starting in 2027, mobile phones sold in the EU will generally need batteries that consumers can remove and replace more easily, without requiring proprietary tools or complicated repair methods.
The rules also require replacement batteries to remain available for at least 5 years after a phone model is no longer sold.
And durability standards are getting tougher too. Smartphones sold in the EU must generally retain at least 80% of their original battery capacity after 800 full charge cycles.
The goal is straightforward: make phones last longer, make repairs easier, reduce unnecessary upgrades, and cut down on electronic waste.
For years, many smartphones have been built with sealed-in batteries that can be difficult or expensive to replace. Europe is now pushing the industry in the opposite direction.
Starting in 2027, Europe will require phones to have easier-to-replace, longer-lasting batteries to help devices stay useful for longer. Would you support this where you live? See less
