Workers of Golden Star (GSR) Bogoso Prestea Limited have petitioned Future Gold Resources Ltd (FGR), the new owners of the mine to engage with GSR on the payment of their severance as a matter of urgency.

The workers are demanding severance letters from GSR and letters of appointment offering new employment from FGR with a dotted line for the workers to sign acceptance or otherwise.

The workers say in a petition to FGR said, “We as workers are not part of the capital assets on the balance sheet transferred to you as a buyer in the recent acquisition of the mine. For us to be a part of your acquisition, the place would have to be Bristol or Liverpool, England and the time would have to be in the 18th century. This is sovereign Ghana in the 21st century and that shall not be the case.”

Golden Star Resources sold 90 per cent of its interest in the Bogoso Prestea Mines to FGR with effect from October 1, 2020 at a cost of $95 million.

FGR was to pay an initial amount of $5 million cash consideration but that has been differed to six months later – March 30, 2021 – pending finalization of FGR’s reclamation bonding process.

The remaining US$90 million is to be paid over a 3-year period during their operations.

Government of Ghana holds 10 per cent shares in GRS and experts have said Ghana could lose revenue in taxes and dividends.
