AngloGold Ashanti plc’s Obuasi mine in Ghana made history recently, setting a new world record with the safe completion of the Kwesi Mensa Ventilation Shaft (KMVS). At a depth of 941 metres and a diameter of 6.5m, the KMVS is the world’s largest raisebore hole. The KMVS provides ventilation to the Kwesi Mensa Shaft (KMS) infrastructure, a vital part of the Obuasi mine’s redevelopment. AngloGold Ashanti officially launched the Obuasi Redevelopment Project in January 2019 to enhance mining and processing capacity over a 21-year life through a phased approach. Phases 1 and 2 have been successfully completed, and Phase 3 is ongoing. It involves refurbishing infrastructure to access the high-grade Obuasi Deeps ore zones. Successful completion of the KMVS was made possible through collaboration between AngloGold Ashanti Ghana and Redpath Thonket, a mining contracting and engineering firm. Importantly, the holing record was achieved with an excellent safety record by the raiseboring team, including the main contractor Redpath and local contractors including Mining Tools Ghana, MAC Partners, and MCS Ghana. Zero injuries were recorded.
