Adamus Resources Limited has debunked the government’s decision to revoke its mining leases, noting that the move was taken without due process and was based on allegations that do not reflect the true state of its operations.
This follows the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources’ announcement on Sunday, April 26, 2026, that it had revoked the company’s mining leases following investigations by the Minerals Commission.
According to a statement released on Monday, April 27, 2026, the company said it had taken note of the revocation of its leases covering the Akango, Salman, and Nkroful concessions and was responding “in the interest of accuracy and public clarity.”

It further maintained that it operates as a duly licensed entity under valid permits issued within Ghana’s regulatory framework, including approvals from the Minerals Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency, in accordance with the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703).
“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.
It also raised concerns about a breach of due process, noting that it was neither formally notified of the allegations nor given the opportunity to respond.
“The company was not formally notified of the specific allegations and was not afforded the opportunity to address them as required by the mining laws of Ghana,” it stated.
It added that the move undermines “established principles of fairness and administrative justice,” particularly in matters involving long-term investments.
The company also denied involvement in illegal mining or unlawful subcontracting and reiterated its commitment to responsible mining and environmental protection.
“The company categorically denies any involvement in illegal mining activities or unlawful subcontracting,” it said, adding that it remains committed to “strict adherence to Ghana’s laws and regulations.”
Adamus indicated that it is engaging relevant authorities to resolve the matter and is confident that “a full and fair examination of the facts will demonstrate its compliance with applicable law.”
It also signalled its intention to take all necessary steps to protect its legal rights while maintaining constructive engagement with stakeholders.
