Gold’s remarkable year
Gold truly enjoyed a remarkable 2024, relentlessly powering higher to many new records.
Newswires are reporting Ghana’s President John Atta Mills has died in hospital in the capital of the West African nation, Accra.
A statement from his office said the 68-year-old – who had suffered from throat cancer – died a few hours after being taken ill, but did not give details.
John Dramani Mahama, his vice-president, has been sworn in as his replacement in a ceremony in the capital.
Atta Mills first became president in 2009.
Ghana is Africa’s second largest producer of gold after South Africa.
