Large industrial facility with interconnected pipelines and metal frameworks in Africa.
The Cardinal Namdini mine, owned by Cardinal Resources, is expected to have an annual production of more than 350,000 ounces. Martin Ayisi, CEO of the Minerals Commission, said three other new mines, including a lithium project, will come onstream by 2026 to boost the West Africa nation’s minerals production and quicken a recovery from its worst economic crisis in a generation.
