VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asanko Gold Inc. (“Asanko” or the “Company”) (TSX:AKG) (NYSE American:AKG) today publishes its 2017 Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) Report, which provides a detailed review of Asanko’s CSR strategy and performance during the year, including its contribution to both the local communities in which it operates and its host country, Ghana.

Peter Breese, President and CEO, said, “We believe genuine sharing of the benefits generated by the mine is key to supporting economic development and growth in our local communities and host country, ultimately underpinning the future success of our business.

In 2017, we expanded the involvement of indigenous companies in our operations and awarded the open pit mining contracts for the Akwasiso and Dynamite Hill satellite deposits to locally-based companies, Thonket and Rocksure respectively. As a result, we now have Ghanaian businesses involved in every aspect of our mine, from mining contractors through to key supplies, power, fuel, to catering and transport. 99% of our workforce is Ghanaian, of which 37% are from the local communities surrounding the mine.

In 2017, our economic contribution to Ghana was just over $255 million, supporting 277 Ghanaian businesses, 78 of which are from the Ashanti region where the mine is located, with the purchase of goods and services valued at $167 million.”

Deze manier van werken heeft twee voordelen, voor de plaatselijke bevolking(meer economische ontwikkelingen en geld blijft in het land) en de ontginners, die houden respect & wederzijds begrip over de manier van werken voor & met elkaar!
