The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation (GIADEC), Mr. Michael Ansah, says the company is working assiduously with its various stakeholders to increase the production capacity of the Ghana Bauxite Company (GBC) from one million tonnes per annum to two tonnes million per annum.
He said GIADEC was working with the government of Ghana and its new partner, Ofori Poku Company Limited (OPCL), the new majority shareholder of GBC, to stabilise the existing operations at Awaso.
OPCL, a wholly owned Ghanaian company in March 2022 acquired 80 per cent shares in GBC, which was previously held by Chinese mining company, Bosai Minerals Group Limited with the remainder 20 per cent held by the Government of Ghana (GoG) following Bosai's decision to pull out of operations and exit the country.
