Urgent Action 63(&/5 0910UGHA "$5*0/ Pollution threatens the right to water of communities in Adisakrom Ghana 17.07.2009 Access to sufficient and safe water is increasingly difficult for Adisakrom and other communities in the areas of Iduapriem, Western Ghana, where AngloGold Ashanti holds a mining concession. The communities’ right to water is violated by the lack of state protection against the exhaustion of streams, the pollution of remaining water sources and the inadequacy of water coming from the company’s boreholes. $"--50"$5*0/ Please write a polite letter to the Minister of Environment, Science & Technology, Mrs. Ayittey, requesting her to take interim measures to guarantee the free access to sufficient water for basic human needs; to ensure proper investigation into violations of national water laws; and to protect the communities against the repetition of such violations of the right to water. #"$,(306/% Adisakrom is one of the surrounding communities of the Iduapriem gold mine operated by the South African company AngloGold Ashanti in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipal Assembly in Ghana’s Western Region. This region has one of the highest concentration of mines on the African continent. The communities suffer water pollution caused by chemical substances used for large scale mining. Despite an Urgent Action (0804UGHA) that was launched by FIAN in April 2008 after AngloGold Ashanti discharged untreated waste water into community streams, no appropriate measures were taken by public authorities to ensure access to safe water for all the affected communities. For generations the most crucial water source for the 250 members of Adisakrom community was the river Angonaben. Yet, reports bring point to the contamination by toxic substances. In addition to the deprivation of their main water supply, the residents suffer from skin diseases and other health problems which they believe are caused by the pollution of the River Angonaben. The borehole constructed by the company in the “Mile 7” region of the mining area offers no adequate alternative as water quantity and quality are insufficient. Whenever one boils the water, a thin layer emerges on the surface. Not only the access to traditional water sources is destroyed but there is also a lack of emergency measures to enable the communities to access safe water from interim sources. Community members are already facing severe economic constraints due to the loss of access to their traditional land; and they are now even compelled to buy water at a high cost from private suppliers. Women are particularly affected by the limited access to safe water as they are traditionally in charge of providing the daily water supply for their families. The inaction of the state against the situation in Adisakrom is in full disregard with the national legislation in force. The Water Resources Commission (WRC) Act from 1996 and the subsequent law L.I. 1692 on water use regulations from 2001 gives the Commission the competence to regulate and control the use and management of water sources. The WRC should make use of its monitoring powers to impose measures and sanctions to any water users whose activities pose a serious threat to the environment or to public health. Moreover, the National Water Policy of February 2008 has been built on the recognition of water as a basic human right. Public authorities in charge have so far failed to thoroughly investigate the water situation in the mining area. Furthermore, they have failed to protect their citizens against the impact of the mining activities on the enjoyment of the right to water. '*"/."/%"5& Ghana is a State Party to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, as well as the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the country is therefore obliged by international and regional law to protect the right to an adequate standard of living, including the right to food and water, as well as the right to health of the communities living in the in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipal Assembly.

The original Iduapriem Gold Mine started operating in June 1992 and was designed to treat approximately 2.4Mtpa (million tons per annum). The plant has undergone several expansions carried out since original commissioning. The most recent expansion works were completed and commissioned in November 2017, where the process was changed to a fully operational CIL(carbon-in-leach) process. The process plant now has a capacity to treat approximately 5.1 Mtpa, at a recovery of 96%, to produce about 253,000 ounces of gold per annum. The operation utilizes two SAG Mills and two Ball Mills which run in two parallel closed circuits. CRUSHING PLANT Ore mined from “Ajopa”, Blocks 7 and 8, and “block 3 valley” is hauled by means of 777 dump trucks to the Crushing Plant.

  • Mine Call Factor Issues at Iduapriem Mine: Working Towards a Mineral And
    Mine Call Factor issues at Iduapriem Mine: Working towards a Mineral and Metal accounting protocol Monica Naa Morkor Tetteh A research report submitted to the faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering. Johannesburg 2014 DECLARATION I declare that this report is my own, unaided work. I have read the University Policy on Plagiarism and hereby confirm that no Plagiarism exists in this report. I also confirm that there is no copying nor is there any copyright infringement. I willingly submit to any investigation in this regard by the School of Mining Engineering and I undertake to abide by the decision of any such investigation. __________________ ________ Signature Date ii ABSTRACT The theory of Mine Call Factor (MCF) compares the sum of metal produced in recovery plus residue to the metal called for by the mines evaluation method expressed as a percentage. This MCF concept is well known in underground scenarios and therefore this report highlights the MCF issues and the variable components affecting it from a surface mine perspective. The MCF investigation established the relationship between actual measurements and reporting against measurement protocols. Such measurements include “tonnage, volume, relative density, reconciliation strategy, and truck tonnage determination, sampling and assay standards. This study investigated how these measurements are conducted on Iduapriem Mine according to the mine’s standard operating procedures (SOP). An improvement of documents towards a metal accounting protocol based on the AMIRA protocol is recommended. The mine’s current quality control protocol was further expanded to reflect current practices.

Mineral Resources are inclusive of the Ore Reserve component unless otherwise stated. Mineral Resources The 2006 Mineral Resource increased by 14.1 million ounces to 181.6 million ounces before depletion. After a depletion of 8.3 million ounces, the net increase is 5.8 million ounces. Mineral Resources were estimated at a gold price of $650 per ounce in contrast to the $475 used in 2005. The increased gold price resulted in an increase of 5.8 million ounces while successful exploration and revised modelling resulted in a further increase of 7.6 million ounces.
