ACCRA, August 21, 2026 — Adamus Resources Limited has welcomed the government’s decision to provide a pathway for resolving challenges confronting its mining operations, describing the move as a significant step towards restoring the mine to sustainable operations.

The company said the outcome of a meeting held at the Presidency offered renewed hope for the future of the mine and would help protect the interests of its employees, contractors, suppliers, host communities and other stakeholders whose livelihoods depended on the operation.

Under an agreed framework, Adamus Resources Limited, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources and the Minerals Commission will jointly develop a 12-month roadmap to turn around the mine.

A six-member management team, comprising three representatives each from Adamus and the government, will supervise the implementation of the turnaround programme.

In a statement issued in Accra on Friday, August 21, the company said the collaborative arrangement would enable all parties to focus on preserving and rebuilding what it described as a strategically important Ghanaian mining operation.

It said the objective was to protect jobs and stakeholder value while ensuring that the mine returned to a stronger and more sustainable operational footing.

Call for calm

Adamus urged its employees, contractors, suppliers and host communities to remain calm, hopeful and supportive as the agreed process unfolded.

The company acknowledged the uncertainty and anxiety caused by developments surrounding the mine in recent months, noting the importance of the operation to families, businesses and communities in the Western Region.

It said the government’s intervention had created a structured opportunity for stakeholders to work together towards resolving the challenges confronting the mine.

“Adamus Resources Limited remains committed to working within the agreed twelve-month framework in good faith and with a clear focus on restoring the mine to a stronger and more sustainable footing,” the statement said.

The company said preserving the productive capacity of the mine was in the broader national interest, as it would help protect jobs, support local businesses, sustain government revenue and strengthen Ghanaian participation in the mining industry.

Turnaround roadmap

Adamus said the next major milestone would be the presentation of the 12-month turnaround roadmap to the Presidency within the agreed two-week period.

It expressed confidence that the challenges facing the mine could be overcome through cooperation among the government, the company, employees, financiers, suppliers and host communities.

The company also expressed gratitude to the government, the Presidency, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources and the Minerals Commission for their willingness to engage with the company and pursue what it described as a constructive resolution.

Adamus further thanked its employees, host communities, suppliers, financial partners and the wider Ghanaian public for their patience and continued support.

The company said the new process was not merely about resolving a dispute but also about protecting an important Ghanaian asset, preserving livelihoods, restoring confidence and creating the conditions for a viable and productive future for the mine.
