Mineral right is a privilege, not an absolute right – Minerals Commission
The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, Emmanuel Kwamena Anyimah, made the remarks at the National Mining Dialogue 2026, where he outlined the Commission’s expectations of large-scale mining companies as Ghana seeks to maximise the benefits from its mineral resources.
The Deputy CEO said these measures were necessary to align mining operations with Ghana’s national development agenda and the objectives of the national mineral policy.
