A region of western Africa between the Sahara Desert and the Gulf of Guinea. It was largely controlled by colonial powers until the 20th century.



West African adj. & n.
. The acquisition is subject to appropriate government approval.

The concession is located in an active exploration area, surrounded on all sides by concessions operated by major gold mining companies, including Newmont Mining Newmont Mining Corporation NYSE: NEM, based in Denver, Colorado, USA, is one of the world's largest producers of gold, with active mines in, Nevada, Indonesia, Australia/New Zealand, Ghana, and Peru. Some smaller operations include Bolivia, Mexico, and Canada.  Corporation and, Anglogold Ashanti Ltd., the two largest gold companies in the world, Gold Fields Ltd., the world's fourth largest, along with Red Back Mining Co. and Birim Goldfields n. 1. A small slender woolly annual (Lasthenia chrysostoma) with very narrow opposite leaves and branches bearing solitary golden-yellow flower heads; it grows from Southwestern Oregon to Baja California and Arizona; - it is often cultivated.  Inc. Haber will be actively engaged in the exploration and development of this property and other Ghanaian properties in cooperation with its joint venture partner, Gold City Mining Ghana, Ltd., and other mining companies.

Albert B. Conti Conti (kôNtē`), cadet branch of the French royal house of Bourbon. Although the title of prince of Conti was created in the 16th cent. , Haber's president and COO, said, "I am especially gratified grat·i·fy

 that we have successfully acquired the rights to this world-class mining concession. The purchase allows Haber to embark on its own large-scale mining project, and to incorporate the Haber Gold Process (HGP See Human Genome Project. ) in its future processing of gold ores from this site. HGP is an environmentally safe process that does not use cyanide or mercury, both of which are presently used extensively in large- and small-scale mining in Ghana."

Conti continued, "Although there is no guarantee that our new concession will ultimately prove economically viable, we are encouraged by the strong activity and successes of the major mining companies who have already discovered millions of ounces of gold exploring this general area. This commitment in Ghana broadens our corporate growth strategy and revenue prospects by adding another dimension to our commercial objectives. Haber's long-range strategy for maximizing the potential of our technologies was originally focused on licensing and joint ventures with companies holding gold properties. Our goals have now been expanded to include Haber's acquisition of high-prospect gold bearing properties for its own inventory."

"This strategy will significantly increase our partnering options and business opportunities and, we believe, lead to higher profits from gold revenues derived from properties contained in our asset portfolio, all of which we expect will enhance shareholder value. Exploration and mining of these sites shall be accomplished through partnering with, or otherwise using the services of, full-service mining companies," said Conti.

Green Gold

Major initiatives to promote the production and the use in manufacturing of "green gold" are growing worldwide. Green gold is that which is extracted and recovered without the use of chemicals harmful to human health or the environment.

In this regard, Dr. Edward S. Ayensu, non-executive chairman of Haber Mining Ghana, Ltd., stated, "I believe that Haber's advantage over other mining companies is our superior proprietary and non-polluting processing technology. The industry's challenge in the future is to take gold ore and extract and recover gold efficiently, economically and in an environmentally safe manner. We believe we have the technology to differentiate Haber economically and in a socially responsible manner from our competition over the long run."

Dr. Ayensu continued, "The company is committed to producing only green gold, and Haber believes that the public in the future will increasingly demand green gold products because of the growing worldwide awareness of the ecological damage and human toll associated with gold extracted using cyanide and mercury."

Haber intends to investigate unilaterally, or with joint venture partners, other lode and placer gold opportunities, which it believes will meet its long-term production objectives. Haber's concession is located in the Sunyani, Asutifi, Tano and Asumafo Districts of the Brong Ahofo Region and the Sefwi Wiawso and Juabeso-Bia Districts of the Western Region The northern boundaries of the concession are approximately 12 km south of Sunyani, the Brong Ahafo regional capital, and approximately 95 km northwest of Kumasi, the Ashanti regional capital in the Western Region and Ghana's second largest city. The southern boundary is approximately 170 km northeast of the port city of Takoradi in the Western Region. The eastern limit of the concession is approximately 300 km from Accra, Ghana's capital.

Haber's extraction and recovery processes were previously tested and qualified at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is a technical university located in Kumasi, Ghana. It is the second public university to be established in the country. It was founded as the Kumasi College of Technology in 1952.  in Kumasi, Ghana in February, 2005. Gold was extracted and recovered from Ghanaian alluvial ore over a three-hour period with a 99 percent extraction and recovery efficiency, and the processes were proven to be environmentally safe.

Haber has also been actively working in Ghana toward the implementation of a program known as the Strategic Abatement of Mercury and Poverty (STAMP), and is confident that a portion of the Good Ground property containing alluvial deposits can be utilized for the STAMP program as well.

STAMP is designed to eliminate the use of mercury for gold extraction by small-scale miners who eke out meager mea·ger also mea·gre

Recognizing this growing menace to the people of Ghana, the government has requested that Haber implement the STAMP program as quickly as possible. Haber will to begin STAMP operations in Ghana once necessary funding initiatives have been successfully concluded.
