In a joint statement, the two miners said the deal would see Gold Fields and AngloGold owning 67% and 33% of the joint operation, respectively, excluding the 10% stake the Ghanaian government holds in Tarkwa.
The joint venture would produce an average 900,000 ounces annually over the first five years and 600,000 ounces over its estimated 18-year life of the mine, the companies said.
