Nguvu Mining Unveils Liebherr T236 Trucks

Nguvu Mining Limited Unveils Cutting Edge Liebherr T236 Haulage Trucks

In a bid to boost its production capacity, Ghana's wholly Ghanaian owned mining giant, Adamus Resources Limited, with financial support from its parent company, Nguvu Mining Limited, has launched over a dozen 100 Tonne capacity Liebherr T236 mine haulage trucks at the company’s site at Essiama in the Ellembelle District of the Western Region.

The acquisition of the haulage trucks augments the company’s existing heavy-duty equipment and forms part of Adamus Mining's expansion drive towards its planned aggressive exploration programme.

Achieving this milestone which has been one of the company’s major goals, has strengthened its ground resources.

The colourful event was witnessed by some prominent chiefs of the Nzema Traditional Council led by the President of the Eastern Nzema Traditional Council Awulae Amihere Kpanyinli the Third.

Also at the ceremony were the Western Regional Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah, the District Chief Executive of Ellembelle, Kojo Bonzoe and the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Chamber of mines, amongst other players of the mining industry.

The Western Regional Minister, Mr Okyere Darko-Mensah praised the management of Nguvu Mining Limited for its continuous investments and immense contribution to the local economy, especially with the employment of over 1,100 indigenes by the company.

He added that without Adamus mining in Ellembelle, the local economy would have collapsed.

He said Adamus’ culture of being a company that listens to the community has led to an interesting stage where the company involves residents in responsible and sustainable community mining operations. He added that the company has made all the necessary arrangements to start community mining on their concessions, and is doing so well in supporting and supervising this project to sustain mining in the Ellembelle District.

The Regional Minister said he believes that the new arrangements are more sustainable and will ensure that the people of Nzema own some of the productive mining businesses in their district to generate revenue for themselves and their communities. “As an advocate for mining myself, I do believe that if Ghana has to grow then it means that we have to consistently support the mining sector in this country."

He stressed that it was a fact that without gold, Ghana's economy would have been in tatters after the COVID-19 pandemic, and for that matter, he has been pushing for increased gold production to support the economy of Ghana and all mining communities.

The truck boasts of a design that is embedded with safety considerations for maintenance technicians and operators by eliminating various hazards.

Its commitment to the comfort of operators has been well considered with an ergonomic cabin to promote driver efficiency and enhanced superior performance.

Speaking after the launch, the visibly elated CEO of NGUVU Mining Ltd, Madam Angela List said her company’s partnership with Liebherr has provided them with an excellent result in terms of top-quality mining equipment, with the latest being the first of its kind in Ghana.

She said looking at various specifications of equipment, the T236, an electric truck with the superior after-sales service and training that Liebherr offers is a huge step for the group.

She said the trucks will help accelerate the movement of the ore from the ground to the processing plant.

Madam Angela List said the company believes in quality human resources and therefore has trained people from scratch especially the community members who had no skills at all including women.

The CEO, who is committed to gender balance expressed joy about the fact that female employees who had no skills in driving, and started with the company as cleaners, have now been trained to become qualified operators.

The women displayed their skills with the trucks after the launch.

According to her, female operators are extremely competent and committed to safety, adding that she wants to see more women excelling in the male-dominated fields of the company.

Madam Angela List said there is a cordial relationship with the host communities because community members have recognized that Adamus' interest goes beyond personal gains. She said the company has the entire community, the various chiefdoms and all the people of Nzema land at heart.

She said their doors are always opened to them for dialogue, discussions of progress, and implementation of corporate social responsibility initiatives, while efforts are made to employ more locals to make life easy for them.
