The Minerals Commission says it is working to cushion the impact of the Adamus Resources lease revocation on affected workers, with plans underway to protect legitimate jobs as enforcement actions continue.
Speaking at a news conference on Monday, April 27, after the revocation, Chief Executive Officer Isaac Andrews Tandoh said the Commission is collaborating with the Ministry and other state agencies to roll out transitional measures.
“The Commission will work with the Ministry to safeguard lawful jobs affected by this decision and will announce transitional measures in due course,” he said.
His comments follow reports that some workers gathered at the company’s concession, demanding access after the government withdrew the leases.
Mr. Tandoh stressed that while enforcing mining laws remains non-negotiable, efforts are being made to minimise disruption to workers. He added that security has been reinforced at the site, with military personnel deployed to control access as the process takes effect.
Adamus Resources Limited has, however, rejected the decision, arguing that it was taken without due process and based on claims that do not accurately reflect its operations.
