Key Issues / Risks

FID timing uncertain — DFS completion and financing close are critical path. Ghana's 13% carried interest model being watched as a template for West African critical minerals.

Latest Development (Detail)

DFS progressing as of 2026. Ghana positioning Ewoyaa as centrepiece of its green minerals hub strategy.

What Happens Next

DFS completion and FID — expected 2026.

Commercial Opportunity

Ghana's first lithium mine — procurement for mining fleet, processing plant, port logistics from Takoradi.
