Heath Goldfields Ltd is pleased pleased to announce the appointment of Okai Mickson as Finance Manager.

Mr. Mickson is a highly accomplished finance professional whose career spans more than 18 years across the mining, legal, property, and consulting sectors. He brings to Heath a rare blend of financial leadership, systems expertise, and operational insight, backed by a proven track record of strengthening financial governance and delivering value in complex business environments.

He has held progressive roles with several reputable institutions, most notably Gold Fields Ghana Ltd, where he successfully led financial operations at the Tarkwa and Damang mines and managed a multi-million-dollar cost structure with precision. He went on to serve as Group Finance Manager at NGUVU Mining, where he provided strategic oversight across four operating companies and played a central role in ERP integration and performance improvement. His more recent consultancy engagements in the United Kingdom and the United States have further demonstrated his capability to operate at the intersection of finance, technology, and strategy.

His role is instrumental to establishing the financial and operational discipline required for the Company’s successful transition from care and maintenance into full-scale production.

Mr. Mickson holds a Master of Science in Accounting and Finance from the University of Salford, UK, and a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the University of Management Studies, Kumasi. He is a Certified Sage Accpac Consultant, a SAP S/4HANA Project Systems Specialist, and has completed executive development training with Harvard Business Publishing. He is also part-qualified with ACCA Ghana.

We are excited to welcome Mr. Mickson to the leadership team at Heath. His depth of expertise, strategic mindset, and values-driven leadership make him an excellent fit for this critical role. We are confident he will make a significant contribution to our financial strength, operational readiness, and long-term success.
