Adamus Resources Limited has served notice that it will challenge the revocation of its mining leases by the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, describing the decision as unlawful and contrary to Ghana’s mining laws.
On Monday, August 10, 2026, the Lands Minister upheld the initial revocation of Adamus Resources’ mining lease following the submission of a report by the Ministerial Review Committee established to consider the company’s appeals, a recommendation many mining watchers have called to be made public.
In a press statement on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, the company said it was disappointed by the decision, arguing that the process used to revoke its mineral rights failed to comply with procedures under the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703).
“The effort by the Minister to strip Adamus Resources Limited of its mineral rights was without regard to any of the statutory procedures laid down in the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703),” the company said.
Adamus also rejected allegations levelled against the company, describing them as “unfounded, contrived and deliberately manufactured” to deprive it of its mining leases.
The company further accused the minister of abusing his powers and disregarding the law, leading to the revocation.
“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,” it said.
Adamus said it would announce the steps it intends to take to challenge the revocation in the coming days.
