Earl International Group (Ghana) Gold Limited has announced advanced plans to expand its mining operations in 2026 as part of efforts to increase production and create more employment opportunities for residents in its host communities.
The large-scale mining company operates in the Talensi District of the Upper East Region and currently employs 950 Ghanaians on a permanent basis. More than 80 per cent of the workforce is drawn from host communities including Gbane, Datoko, Gaare, Sheaga, Tindongo and Tongo.
The company operates six underground shafts, two of which are currently in production, while four others are under development. Earl International Group has an estimated mineral reserve of about 41,421.10 tons, with an average daily ore production of 600 tons.
Its processing plant has a milling capacity of 2,000 tons of ore per day, positioning the company to significantly scale up production once the additional shafts become operational.
As of December 2025, the company had hauled a total ore quantity of 190,986.6 tons, with an average plant head grade of 1.68.
Management projected that ore production will exceed 250,206 tons in the coming production cycle, alongside the completion and commissioning of the remaining shafts.
Speaking during a visit by the Parliamentary Select Committee on Environment, Science and Technology, the company’s Public Relations Officer, Albert Azongo, said the expansion would lead to the recruitment of more people from the surrounding communities.
“We are currently constructing a new processing plant and it is expected that when that is completed, we should be able to process about 5000 tons of ore. So, we are installing a much bigger processing plant because we are projecting into the future” He disclosed.
According to him, the company remains committed to local employment, sustainable mining practices and contributing to the socioeconomic development of the Talensi District.
“We have one of the biggest refineries in the country and well sophisticated because we are projecting that our production will increase once all the shafts begin to produce. And the EPA is aware that plans are far advanced for us to construct a new TSF over an area of 200 acres.”
