The Ghana Chamber of Mines says it is engaging Adamus Resources Limited and relevant regulatory authorities following the government’s decision to uphold the revocation of the company’s Akango, Salman, and Nkroful mining leases.
In a statement, the Chamber said the decision by the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources followed the findings of a Ministerial Review Committee set up to consider a petition filed by Adamus.
While recognising the government’s authority to enforce Ghana’s mining laws, the Chamber stressed the need for fairness, due process, regulatory certainty, and consistent application of the law.
The Chamber said it is seeking a clearer understanding of the circumstances, findings, and procedures that led to the decision before making further comments.
It also expressed concern about the possible impact of the lease revocation on workers, contractors, host communities, and legitimate investments in the mining sector.
The Chamber urged all parties to respect Ghana’s legal and regulatory framework and use the appropriate legal and institutional channels to resolve any outstanding issues.
It reaffirmed its commitment to dialogue with the government, its member companies, and other stakeholders to promote a responsible, transparent, and predictable mining industry while protecting jobs, legitimate investments, and investor confidence.
