About Steliam

Built in Accra. Rooted in the belt.

Our story

Steliam Resources began in 2026, built on 20 years of fully regulated refinery and gold import-export experience. It was that downstream discipline that pushed us to move into mining — starting with a single alluvial licence at Nzema and a plainly stated ambition: to build a Ghanaian mining company that competed on the same terms as the majors — on safety, on transparency, on ore-body science.

Today, we operate three mines in Ghana, hold interests in exploration ground across Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso, and process third-party ore for artisanal co-operatives under a formalisation programme we developed with the Minerals Commission.

The company is majority Ghanaian-owned, listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange, and reports under JORC and GRI standards.
