Namdini is Ghana’s newest large-scale gold mine, in the Upper East Region near Bolgatanga. Operated by Shandong Gold through Cardinal Namdini, it poured first gold in November 2024 and began commercial production in 2025.
The open-pit mine is ramping up toward a target of about 360,000 ounces a year, which would make it one of the largest in Ghana. It is the first large-scale mine in the country’s northern belt.
Namdini is owned and operated by China’s Shandong Gold, through its subsidiary Cardinal Namdini Mining, with the Government of Ghana holding 10 percent.
