MINING
Mining opportunities, reviewed before we commit.
We work with rights holders and investors to assess prospects in Ghana and take the sound ones forward.
Most mining projects are decided by the first questions asked about them.
We ask those questions before we commit time or money, so effort goes only where the basics hold.
Screening
A desk review of what the prospect is, where it sits and whether it deserves more work.
Geology and technical data
Existing geological and historical information, reviewed with qualified specialists where the work needs them.
Rights and tenure
The status of mineral rights, licences and tenure, confirmed before resources are spent.
Access and site conditions
Terrain, routes and practical limits, so we know the work can be done.
Regulatory path
The approvals and permits the project will need, mapped at the start rather than discovered later.
Early viability
A structured view of the technical and commercial case, so decisions rest on evidence.
Four stages between a prospect and a project.
Review
We screen the prospect against its location, rights, access and requirements.
Validation
We confirm the technical and commercial basics, with specialist input where needed.
Planning and approvals
We set the work programme and take the required approvals forward in order.
Execution
Development goes ahead under our coordination, supported by the services on our Support Services page.
Our role and its limits.
Orelink does not hold mineral rights itself. We work with rights holders under agreement, and development proceeds only once the relevant rights and approvals are in place.
Equipment and crews.
Drilling, earthmoving, haulage and maintenance come from qualified contractors and suppliers that we select, contract and manage for each project. We do not list equipment we do not own.
What we assess, and where.
MINERALS
Gold.
Our own activity is at Asankragua New, and gold is the mineral we assess. If that changes, we will say so on this page rather than leave it to be assumed.
REGIONS
We assess opportunities across Ghana, and we consider each one on its location, rights and access. Our own site is at Asankragua New.
Licensed work only.
Orelink works only with parties that hold the licences and approvals their activity requires.
We do not take part in, finance, supply or buy from illegal mining, including unlicensed small-scale operations (galamsey). Before we commit to any opportunity, we confirm who holds the rights and that the licences and permits are valid. If we cannot confirm them, we do not proceed.
If you hold a licence and want an opportunity reviewed, we welcome the conversation. If you are looking for a way around the licensing process, we are not the right partner.
Have an opportunity you want assessed?
Tell us where it is and who holds the rights, and we will tell you how we would approach it.
