Low costs and huge profits irresistible lure for Chinese to mine Ghana’s gold

By , on June 6th, 2013

<!– google_ad_section_start –> Raymond Xie quit his job as an English teacher at a university in Guangxi early last year to join the gold rush in the west African country of Ghana. The 41-year-old and his partners spent about 3 million yuan (HK$3.76 million) establishing a small mine in Obuasi, in the Ashanti region, and set about making a fortune. Three million yuan is not enough to buy a three-bedroom flat in Beijing but it was enough to set Xie on the road to riches overseas as one of an estimated 50,000 Chinese gold miners in Ghana, most of them, like Xie, from Shanglin county. <!– google_ad_section_end –>
