The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has announced plans to revoke the licenses of fifty large-scale mining companies found to be in breach of regulatory requirements.
The decision follows a rigorous review of mining operations currently being undertaken by a special committee established at the directive of the Minister, Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah. The committee is expected to announce the final list of affected companies in due course.
According to the Ministry, the move forms part of government’s broader commitment to sanitise the mining sector and ensure safe, responsible practices. Officials emphasized that the review exercise is designed to guarantee that mining at all levels is conducted in line with established protocols and due procedures.
The Ministry reiterated that the revocation process will be transparent and legally grounded, underscoring its determination to uphold environmental integrity and protect Ghana’s natural resources.
