Gold Fields Limited is facing a major operational halt as the government has refused to extend the mining giant's Damang lease, which expires on April 18, 2025.
According to the Minerals Commission, the company failed to follow clear instructions to engage with the Commission, a critical step required before considering lease renewal.
Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show, Isaac Tandoh, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, disclosed that the company bypassed an important government directive. "When we met the minister, he said that we cannot continue this as business as usual, we need to get value for money. "So, if you have any better proposition for Ghanaians, go and sit with the Minerals Commission, but that has not happened.
Instead they were writing letters to the minister here and there.
