It's baby-level economics to understand, if the global north is profiting off resource extraction then that's less $$$ going back to the country with the resources. The only argument the neolibs even have is "but government-run enterprises aren't as EFFICIENT!!!" Which isn't even true... but even if it was true for say railroads and telecoms, would love to see them explain how it's true for just pulling rocks and minerals out of the ground.
It's all an op to deny that "I like my side to be rich", and if you get too close to the breaking point of truth you just get downvoted and no response'd.
Even if the state owned mining enterprise was so inefficient that it dumped half of the gold in the ocean it would still be a better deal for Ghana than what they have now.
