The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has disclosed that the licences of about 50 large-scale mining companies could be revoked in the coming days, as part of an ongoing licence review exercise.<\/p>\n
The announcement was made at a press briefing on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, by the Ministry\u2019s Director of Public Relations, Mawusi Ama Mawuenyefia.<\/p>\n
According to her, the Ministry has been undertaking a comprehensive review of mining licences across both small- and large-scale operations to address regulatory breaches.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had also indicated that we were reviewing the small-scale licences regime. We started that exercise, and about 906 initially faced possible revocation. After a fair review to correct any irregularities, 258 small-scale licences were eventually revoked,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we have 50 large-scale mining licences that face possible revocation,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
She stressed that affected companies would be given a one-month window to regularise their operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you find your company\u2019s name on that list, you have a one-month period to correct or rectify the anomalies, if you have a legitimate reason why your licence should not be revoked,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Ministry noted that the move forms part of government efforts to strengthen regulatory compliance in the mining sector and ensure that all operations adhere strictly to established standards.<\/p>\n
