The Ahafo mine is one of the largest gold mines in the Republic of Ghana and in the world. The mine is located in the center of the country in Brong-Ahafo Region. The mine has estimated reserves of 17 million oz of gold. The company has been accused of "human rights abuses and irresponsible practices" by Earthworks, an environmental organization, and others. Nonetheless, from its Ahafo and Akyem mines, Newmont is also the largest gold mining conglomerate in Ghana, (that is if one doesn’t consider Gold Fields’ interests in Asanko). Since 2006 when the first gold was poured at Ahafo, followed by Akyem in 2010, and then starting underground mining at in 2018, Newmont has taken significant strides with an overall objective to creating value and improving lives through sustainable and responsible mining, by developing some very unique and sustainable instruments such as the Newmont Ahafo Development Foundation (NADeF), and Newmont Akyem Development Foundation (NAKDeF) for this purpose.
