Chamber of Mines engages Adamus, government over revoked mining leases

The Ghana Chamber of Mines has entered into discussions with Adamus Resources Limited and pertinent regulatory bodies in response to the government's decision to maintain the cancellation of the company's Akango, Salman, and Nkroful mining leases. This stance was taken after a report by a Ministerial Review Committee was presented following a petition filed by Adamus.

The Chamber, while respecting the government's authority to enforce mining regulations, emphasized the significance of a fair process, regulatory consistency, and uniform application of the law. The organization requested a comprehensive understanding of the events, conclusions, and procedures leading to the decision before offering further comments.

The Chamber also expressed apprehension regarding the potential repercussions of the decision on workers, contractors, host communities, and legitimate investments in Ghana's mining sector. It appealed to all parties to adhere to Ghana's legal and regulatory framework and address any unresolved matters via the appropriate legal and institutional channels.

The Chamber reiterated its dedication to engaging in dialogue with the government, its member companies, and other stakeholders in order to foster a responsible, transparent, and predictable mining industry while safeguarding employment, legitimate investments, and investor confidence.
