650,000 MT PER ANNUM CAPACITY ELECTROCHEM SALT MINE COMMISSIONED IN GHANA

A 650,000 Metric Tonnes (MT) per annum capacity Electrochem Salt Mine has been commissioned at Ada in Ghana on Wednesday, 30th August, 2023.

The Songhor Salt Project, aside its numerous economic benefits it presents to residents of Ada and its catchment, it would also create employment to about 7,000 persons.

With its current ability to produce some six hundred and fifty thousand metric tons (650,000 MT) of salt per annum, it will expand its productive capacity to one million metric tons (1,000,000 MT) in 2024, and to two million metric tons (2,000,000 MT) by 2027.

The Electrochem Salt Mine will be the biggest salt producing facility in Africa, as it harnesses the full value of the Songhor Lagoon.

Electrochem Ghana goes to the timely rescue of African countries with the importation of two billion (USD 2 billion) worth of salt from Brazil by the continent especially Nigeria.

Mr Daniel McKorley, the Chairman of McDan Group, an Excellent Entrepreneur, is a shining example of what determination and perseverance can produce.

By value addition, Electrochem is in the process of constructing a salt refinery, in addition to a Port not too far away from Ada mine for the purpose of exporting refined salt products to the wider African market. 

With Accra serving as the headquarters of the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTA), it is so clear that the expected revenues of some one billion dollars ($1 billion) to the company will

be surpassed.
