Ghana's Mining Licences Under Review: Companies Face Revocation Deadline

In a significant move to reform the extractive sector, Ghana's Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has announced that the first batch of large-scale mining licences may be revoked. This initiative is part of the government's broader strategy to ensure compliance and promote responsible mining practices within the country. Companies holding these licences are required to submit petitions to a designated committee by January 20, 2026, if they wish to contest the potential revocation. Licences that are not addressed by this deadline will be subject to revocation, highlighting the government's commitment to enhancing accountability in the management of Ghana's natural resources.
