The Minerals Commission has reportedly assumed administrative control of the Adamus Mine in the Ellembelle District following the government's decision to uphold the revocation of Adamus Resources' mining lease. This move came after a Ministerial Review Committee evaluated an appeal by Adamus Resources, finding that most of the identified breaches warranted the takeover.
Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Mr. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, disclosed during a visit to the mine that the committee upheld the majority of the violations noted in the initial assessment, enabling the Minerals Commission to step in and address operational and safety issues. The decision to revoke the mining lease was supported by the Ministry and resulted from a petition, leading to the formation of the Ministerial Review Committee.
The government is also exploring ways to revitalize the mine, aiming to boost job creation and economic growth for the Eastern Nzema Traditional Area and beyond.
