Iduapriem Gold Mine (Iduapriem) Limited operates the Iduapriem mine in the Western Region of Ghana, about 17km southwest of Tarkwa. The Iduapriem mine started operations in June 1992 as the Ghanaian Australian Goldfields Limited. It became part of the AngloGold Group in 2004 following the business combination with Ashanti Goldfields Limited. It is one of two Iduapriem Gold Mine mines in Ghana.
