Adamus Resources Limited has rejected reports suggesting the revocation of its mining leases covering the Akango, Salman, and Nkroful concessions, insisting that it remains a duly licensed operator working within Ghana’s legal and regulatory framework.
In a detailed response, the company said it had taken note of what it described as a “purported revocation” and moved to clarify what it considers inaccuracies surrounding the matter. It stressed that the allegations cited in support of the decision do not reflect the true state of its operations.
“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 said.
Adamus Resources maintained that it operates under valid mining permits issued by the Minerals Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency, in accordance with the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703). It further denied any wrongdoing, including accusations of illegal mining or unlawful subcontracting.
A key concern raised by the company relates to what it describes as a breach of due process. According to Adamus, it was neither formally notified of the specific allegations nor given an opportunity to respond before the purported action was taken.
“The company is particularly concerned about what it considers a serious lapse in due process regarding the revocation,” it noted, adding that such an omission undermines “established principles of fairness and administrative justice,” especially in relation to mineral rights tied to significant long-term investments.
Reaffirming its position, Adamus Resources stated its commitment to responsible mining practices, environmental protection, and full compliance with Ghanaian laws. It said it is currently engaging relevant state authorities to seek clarity and address the concerns raised.
The company expressed confidence that a full and fair review of the facts would demonstrate its compliance record and lawful operations.
“Without prejudice to the above, the company shall take all necessary steps to protect its legal rights while maintaining constructive engagement with stakeholders,” it added.
