Minerals Commission appoints caretaker team to oversee Bogoso and Prestea Mines after lease termination

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Minerals Commission has appointed a six-member caretaker team to work alongside it’s regional manager on the operations of FGR Bogoso and Prestea mines. This follows the termination of the company’s mining leases.

The government announced the termination on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, citing findings from reports by the Minerals Commission and a Ministerial Committee that had reviewed the company’s activities.

The decision followed extensive consultations with all relevant stakeholders.

Lands Minister Samuel Abu Jinapor while announcing the termination, explained that the previous operators had been warned in August 2023 for multiple violations concerning their mining operations.

Despite being advised by the Minerals Commission to address these issues, the company failed to comply.

However, Blue Gold Bogoso Prestea Limited, which claims to be the new operator of the mines, has challenged the government’s decision, stating that its operations are legitimate and plans to contest the termination notice.

Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, Martin Ayisi, in a statement, confirmed that the caretaker team will “immediately oversee the day-to-day operations of the mine.”
