Angola’s First Gold Refinery Nears Completion, Testing Phase Set for December
Endiama has announced that Angola’s first gold refinery—currently under construction in the Viana Industrial Park—is expected to begin its testing phase in the second half of December.
The projection was shared this Thursday during a site visit by the company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors (PCA).
According to an official statement accessed by VerAngola, the visit confirmed that the project is in its final stage of construction.
The main building structure is already complete, and teams are now installing the technical equipment essential for the refinery’s operations.
Endiama noted that local staff are undergoing specialized training to ensure proper handling and operation of the new systems.
This initiative aims to promote knowledge transfer and strengthen internal expertise ahead of the refinery’s launch.
The company emphasized that this refinery represents a strategic milestone in its broader diversification efforts. By enabling a significant portion of Angola’s gold production to be refined domestically, the facility is expected to enhance the country’s mineral value chain and generate greater economic benefits.
