Adamus Resources Condemns “Unlawful” Revocation of Mining Leases, Vows Legal Action

Adamus Resources Limited has described the revocation of its mining leases by the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, as “unlawful” and says it will take steps to overturn the decision.

In a press statement, the company said it received the decision “with shock and disappointment.”

According to Adamus, the Minister’s action to strip the company of its mineral rights was done “without regard to any of the statutory procedures laid down in the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703).”

The company categorically denied all allegations levelled against it, describing them as “unfounded, contrived and deliberately manufactured to strongarm the company in order to deprive it of its leases.”

“The company has duly noted the abuse of power wrapped in the absolute disregard of law in the process leading to the contemptible revocation of its leases,” the statement added.

Adamus Resources assured the public that “the good people of Ghana will be apprised of the cogent steps the company is taking to shred this baseless revocation in the coming days.”
