Extracting Value. Strengthening Communities.
Ghana is richly endowed with natural resources and ranks among Africa’s top producers of gold, bauxite, manganese, and diamonds. As one of the largest gold producers on the continent, Ghana’s mining and natural resources industry remains a vital engine of economic growth, with continued expansion driven by domestic and global demand.
At Ntrakwah & Co., we offer comprehensive legal support to mining and natural resource companies, helping them navigate complex regulatory frameworks and seize new opportunities while upholding the highest standards of corporate responsibility.
A Unique Commitment to Responsible Mining
Our late founder, Felix Ntrakwah, was a co-author of Corporate Social Responsibility, published by Kluwer Law International. His contributions focused on human rights and corporate social responsibility (CSR) within Ghana’s mining industry — a legacy that inspires our unwavering dedication to ethical mining practices and community engagement.
Our Mining & Natural Resources Services Include:
- Drafting and negotiating agreements for the purchase and transfer of mining concessions and rights
- Preparing investment agreements, lease agreements, and powers of attorney to facilitate secure operations and partnerships
- Providing legal opinions on mining regulatory compliance, operational risk, and investment structuring
- Mediating and negotiating CSR and resettlement agreements between local communities and mining operators
- Advising on tax, labor, and employment issues critical to mining operations and workforce management
- Offering general legal counsel for operational and strategic decision-making across the entire mining lifecycle
A Partner for Sustainable Growth
At Ntrakwah & Co., we believe mining success should go hand in hand with social responsibility and long-term community benefits. Our deep understanding of Ghana’s mining laws and our commitment to ethical business practices help clients achieve operational excellence while contributing positively to Ghana’s future.
