Heath Goldfields Ltd has paid a total of One Hundred and Thirty-Six Million Ghana cedis (GHS 136 million) to settle outstanding legacy liabilities owed to former workers of its Bogoso-Prestea Mine.
The payment, announced in a statement dated January 19, 2026, comes on the back of the company’s efforts to resolve inherited obligations from previous operations at the mine.
In a press statement issued by management, the company described the settlement as part of a broader strategy to address historical liabilities while reinforcing its commitment to responsible mining and regulatory compliance.
The payment was made in accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreed with the Ghana Mineworkers’ Union (GMWU).
“The fulfilment of these commitments reflects our growing credibility as a company that delivers on our assurances and stands firmly by our word,” the statement read.
The company also extended appreciation to the leadership of the Ghana Mineworkers’ Union for what it described as their constructive engagement and partnership in resolving the inherited legacy matters.
“We also extend our sincere appreciation to the leadership of the Ghana Mineworkers’ Union for their constructive engagement, partnership and shared commitment to fairness as we work together to resolve these inherited legacy matters,” the statement added.
Heath Goldfields emphasised that integrity guides its actions and that honouring these obligations reinforces its purpose of “Enriching Lives Through Sustainable Gold Mining.”
The Bogoso-Prestea Mine has changed ownership several times over the years, with workers often left with unpaid entitlements during transitions.
The company said it continues to work closely with relevant authorities and stakeholders to ensure that all statutory, financial, and operational responsibilities are met in line with applicable laws and best industry practices.
The settlement is expected to bring relief to former workers who have been waiting for years to receive their due entitlements.
