Lands and Mines Watch commends Lands Minister for upholding revocation of Adamus Resources mining leases

In a statement, LMWG said the findings underpinning the Minister’s decision; including the unauthorised assignment of mineral rights to foreign nationals, mining outside permitted areas without an approved operating permit, and failure to secure environmental and forestry approvals before commencing operations; highlight concerns about regulatory compliance in Ghana’s mining sector.

It further pointed to US$224 million transferred to related parties abroad between 2020 and 2024, saying the figures raise broader concerns about potential revenue leakages in Ghana’s extractive sector.

The organisation welcomed the Minister’s stated intention to seek an order compelling Adamus Resources to settle its outstanding royalty, tax and other financial obligations to the state.
