About — Our Story
Built for this moment. Rooted in Ghana.
Ghana stands at a historic inflection point. The Ewoyaa Lithium Project — with a mineral resource of 36.8 million tonnes at 1.24% Li2O — is on track to become Ghana's first producing lithium mine, following Parliamentary ratification of its Mining Lease in March 2026. Simultaneously, the Gold Board Act 2025 has introduced the most significant restructuring of Ghana's gold trading and marketing sector in a generation.
Akoben Advisory was founded to serve the operators, developers, and buyers entering this environment. We combine London-standard advisory rigour with irreplaceable in-country expertise across regulatory affairs, community engagement, project management, and ESG compliance.
Our name is drawn from the Adinkra symbol Akoben — the war horn, a symbol of vigilance and readiness. We believe those who prepare properly win. Those who arrive without local knowledge lose time, money, and opportunity.
We do not offer generic emerging-markets advice. We offer specific, accurate, Ghana-grounded counsel from a team that has worked directly with the Minerals Commission, Ghana Chamber of Mines, and community stakeholders across the country's key mining belts.
Our Values
Accuracy over reassurance — we give you the real picture, including the risks
In-country presence — our primary base is Accra, not London
Long-term relationships — we measure success by our clients' project outcomes, not billable hours
Responsible mining — Ghana's communities and environment are stakeholders too
