Obuasi (Ash), Oct. 03, GNA – AngloGold Ashanti Obuasi Mine, in partnership with the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Foundation, has donated some educational materials worth GH¢1000,000.00, to some junior high schools in Obuasi and its environs.

The items included 13,000 NaCCA approved textbooks, 150 geometric instruments and 150 graph boards.
