In a statement, the mining company said it received the decision with “shock and disappointment” and categorically denied the allegations cited as the basis for the revocation. Mr Buah announced the decision during a working visit to the mine after a Ministerial Review Committee submitted its report on appeals filed by Adamus Resources. He subsequently upheld the revocation and directed the Minerals Commission to assume immediate administrative control of the mine. What that means is that the Minerals Commission should, with immediate effect, take administrative control of this Mine,” he said. The revocation follows an earlier government decision to terminate Adamus Resources’ mining lease over alleged breaches of the terms and conditions governing its operations.
