  • Three Newmont managers from the Ahafo mine   
  • Three members of Parliament from Tano North, Asutifi North and Asutifi South

ASRF in actionThe full ASRF currently meets as often as necessary to ensure that the Agreement is completed as soon as possible.  The Forum is a large group and a smaller Standing Committee has been formed to further more detailed issues.  Any decisions made by the Standing Committee are referred back to the Forum for finalization.  A Complaints Resolution Committee has been formed to resolve any difficulties in implementing the Agreement. 

Newmont and the Community agree that any conflict between them will be resolved through dialogue and negotiation with patience and tolerance to maintain a good working relationship. Together, we agree to recognize, patronize and support the grievance/complaint management procedure established by the Company, the Community and the Government. We also strive to relate to each other to build and improve confidence and trust through effective issues management.
