World no.3 gold producer AngloGold Ashanti is set to report a solid third-quarter result tied to record gold prices for the September quarter, Chief Executive Mark Cutifani said on Thursday.

Newmont Ghana Gold Limited has paid more than $47 million (GH¢71.44 million), representing taxes, royalties and levies for the third quarter of this year, to government.

An Obusai Magistrate Court has remanded John Frank Kojo Essien, the director of Ghanatta Security Services, in police custody for allegedly shooting to death an illegal miner at the South Tailings Storage Facility Dam of AngloGold Ashanti (AGA) in Obuasi.
