AKANADA Mining Group

About AKANADA

“Akanada merges Canadian and Ghanaian experiences of process and project development, hence Akanada – a fusion in name of the local clans of Ghana and Canada. In a world where capital has long been globalized and mineral needs transnational, Ghana as an investment destination for mineral asset development was a foregone conclusion, given its global leadership standing in mineral deposits.”

Rocco Achampong Chief Executive Officer, Akanada Mining Group

Our Mission

Akanada’s mission is to identify and advance mineral opportunities in Ghana through diligent project assessments, strong local partnerships, and international capital investment.

How we structure an opportunity

  1. Identify the opportunity

    Establish the asset, rights holder, project stage, and available evidence.

  2. Map the diligence

    Identify the technical, legal, environmental, community, and commercial questions that need answers.

  3. Define each party’s role

    Clarify what the rights holder, investor, operator, and Akanada could contribute.

  4. Shape the transaction

    Evaluate an acquisition, joint venture, or partnership against funding needs, milestones, responsibilities, and approvals.

The right structure depends on the project.

We aim to define responsibilities, diligence needs and potential terms clearly before a project moves forward.
