Some 3,200 people work on GAC sites in Guinea. Over 96 per cent of our total workforce is Guinean.
In 2023, we made $283 million in direct expenditures in Guinea.
This included $210 million in procurement of goods and services from local Guinean suppliers. We work with companies in our region to improve their ability to compete for our business.
