Answer:

Gold and slaves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Elmina Castle was built by the Portuguese in 1482 in Elmina, Ghana. It is the first trading post in the Gulf of Guinea, and the oldest European building in Sub-Saharan Africa. The castle was built as a trading zone to tap from the already thriving gold trade between the native people, and other foreigners. After its establishment as a trading zone, slaves was added to the commodities traded from the castle.
