In a post shared on Instagram, the entrepreneur gave glimpses of celebrations with his team at Engineers & Planners (E&P) following the official handover of the gold mine previously operated under foreign ownership.
The development, which he described as a significant achievement, reflects a new chapter for the company as it expands its presence in the mining sector.
In the comment section of his post, the visibly excited businessman expressed not only satisfaction over the acquisition but also pride in what it represents for Ghanaian ownership in the industry.
“After 30 years, a Ghanaian has taken over the Damang Mine… The New Era… DAMANG GOLD MINE LTD,” he wrote on April 20, 2026.
The statement has since drawn attention online, with many stressing the symbolic nature of the takeover and its significance for local participation in large-scale mining operations.
The latest addition further strengthens Ibrahim Mahama’s business portfolio, which continues to grow across key sectors in the country.
Gold Fields Ghana Limited managed the Damang Mine for over 25 years before its lease expired, after which the concession reverted to the state.
Following a competitive bidding process, E&P secured the licence to operate the mine under the new entity, Damang Gold Mines Limited.

Drogba addresses the alleged Ibrahim Mahama aid
Earlier, popular Ghanaian actor John Peasah of YOLO fame opened up about viral reports that businessman Ibrahim Mahama has come to his aid.
Drogba, as the actor is popularly known, has been appealing for support from Ghanaians for over a year now after being diagnosed with a demyelinating disease, a serious neurological condition that affects the nervous system and can cause vision loss, muscle weakness, balance difficulties, and severe pain.
Despite his constant pleas for help, Drogba has struggled to raise the amount needed for his treatment and has started a GoFundMe to help with that process.
The fundraiser, which is seeking $88,000, has managed to raise less than $3,000 since being created on December 21, 2025.
On April 13, 2026, Drogba shared a disturbing update, noting that his condition continued to worsen.
“My body betrays me every day, every hour. Constant pain, endless struggles… Dad’s not here to hold my hand. I’m trying to be strong, but it’s hard to keep going,” he said.
