Adamus Resources Limited has firmly opposed the government’s decision to revoke its mining leases, contending that the action was undertaken without due process and rests on allegations that misrepresent its operations.
In a statement issued “in the interest of accuracy and public clarity,” the company acknowledged the revocation affecting its concessions at Akango, Salman, and Nkroful, while disputing the basis for the decision. Adamus asserted that it remains a fully licensed operator within Ghana’s regulatory framework, holding valid approvals from the Minerals Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency in accordance with the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703).
“The company strongly rejects the allegations that have been cited as the basis for the revocation and states that they do not reflect the true facts surrounding its operations,” the statement noted.
Adamus further raised concerns regarding procedural fairness, arguing that it was neither formally notified of the allegations nor given an opportunity to respond prior to the decision. It maintained that such actions undermine established principles of fairness and administrative justice.
“The company was not formally notified of the specific allegations and was not afforded the opportunity to address same as required by the mining laws of Ghana,” the statement added.
The company also categorically denied any involvement in illegal mining or unlawful subcontracting, reiterating its commitment to responsible operations, environmental protection, and strict compliance with Ghanaian law. It indicated that it is engaging with relevant authorities to resolve the matter while safeguarding its legal rights.
