Chamber of Mines engages Adamus, government over revoked mining leases

The Ghana Chamber of Mines has entered into discussions with Adamus Resources Limited and the relevant regulatory bodies following the government's decision to maintain the revocation of the company's Akango, Salman, and Nkroful mining leases. According to the Chamber, the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources reached this decision after reviewing a petition submitted by Adamus.

While the Chamber respects the government's authority to enforce Ghana's mining laws, it emphasizes the need for due process, fairness, regulatory certainty, and consistent application of the law. The Chamber seeks a comprehensive understanding of the factors that influenced the decision before issuing further comments. It also expresses worry about the potential consequences of the decision on workers, contractors, host communities, and legitimate investments in Ghana's mining sector.

The Chamber calls upon all parties to adhere to the country's legal and regulatory framework and to settle any outstanding matters through the appropriate legal and institutional channels. The Chamber remains committed to engaging in dialogue with the government, its member companies, and other stakeholders to foster a responsible, transparent, and predictable mining industry while safeguarding jobs, legitimate investments, and investor confidence.
