Minerals Commission Defends Termination Of Owere Mines’ Mineral Rights Over Alleged $8.3m Debt

The Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, Mr Isaac Andrews Tandoh, has defended the termination of Owere Mines’ mineral rights, insisting that the decision followed due process after years of alleged non-payment of annual mineral rights fees.Speaking at a press conference, Mr Tandoh said the Commission had repeatedly given the company opportunities to settle its outstanding obligations but it had failed to comply with several notices issued over the matter.
