The Minerals Commission has stated that firm steps are being taken to protect lawful jobs affected by the revocation of mining leases belonging to Adamus Resources Limited, as the government develops transitional measures to manage the fallout.
The assurance follows reports that some workers of the company gathered at the entrance of its concession, demanding access after the government moved to withdraw the leases.
Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, Isaac Andrews Tandoh, said the Commission is coordinating with relevant state institutions to ensure that legitimate employment is not unfairly disrupted as enforcement actions proceed.
“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.
He stressed that while enforcement of mining laws remains non-negotiable, measures are also being put in place to reduce the impact on affected workers.
Security has since been tightened at the concession, with military personnel deployed to secure the site and restrict access as the enforcement process takes full effect.
However, Adamus Resources Limited has rejected the decision, insisting it was taken without due process and based on allegations it says do not reflect the true nature of its operations.
