Mining companies admonished about safety of staff, as BCM records 5 million manhours without loss of time to injury

Mining companies have been advised to put in more effort to reduce serious accidents and fatalities in their mines.

In 2023, Ghana’s mining industry recorded seven fatal accidents and 14 serious accidents, compared to only one fatal accident in 2022.

At BCM, we achieved 5 million man hours without any loss of time due to injury over all our project sites, as at 18th January, 2024.

At the 2023 Mining Industry Awards, the Deputy Chief Inspector of Mines at Ghana’s Minerals Commission, John Amoanyi, “… we have recorded seven fatal accidents and 14 serious accidents. This is something which is not good at all. We need to do more to minimise serious accidents as well as eliminating fatality. As a regulator, I feel ashamed when the figures are mentioned.”

“We need to ensure that duties are assigned to competent persons as stated in Regulation 44 of LI 2182”

At the same event, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, Dr Sulemanu Koney, raised a call to action for the mining companies to sit up to reduce accidents.

“I cannot remember the last time we recorded such fatalities, and this is worrying. It is important that we re-assess ourselves as an industry. Let’s remind each other that at the end of the day, we want everyone to go home safely; that should be the riding objective”

Ms. List and Nguvu Mining unsuccessful in court application.

In the most recent development in the Adamus Mining story, Angela List, Nguvu Mining, and their lawyers were unsuccessful in their request to the High Court to allow them to make an application without notice to Adamus Australia and the lawyer for Adamus Ghana, appointed by members of the Interim Management Committee (IMC).

In an affidavit filed on January 19, 2024, Nguvu Mining sought the Court’s permission to allow the management staff of Adamus Ghana to run the Company since Ms. List and the other directors had been restrained.


However, the Court did not hear the application. The High Court Accra, Commercial Division Seven, had previously issued an order on July 27, 2023, establishing a five-member Interim Management Committee to oversee the affairs of Adamus Resources Limited and restraining specific individuals from acting as directors and secretary of the company. The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources appointed the independent chairperson for the committee.

Industry watchers, following the story, have raised questions as to why, if Ms. List was in control of Adamus Ghana, and claiming there was no interim management committee, were she and her lawyers in court asking for the management staff to take over the company from members of the self-same IMC?


This apparent contradiction has raised concerns among stakeholders and members of the public, and the Court’s decision highlights the ongoing legal battle between Ms. List, Nguvu Mining, and the court appointed IMC.

The case is being closely followed by industry experts and investors, as it could have significant implications for the future of Adamus Ghana and the mining sector in Ghana. Further developments in the case will be closely monitored and reported on as they unfold.

Adamus ‘Executives’ Defy Court Ruling, Government Remains Mute

In a brazen act of defiance, injunctued executives of Adamus Resources Pty Limited have disregarded a court ruling that deemed their appointments to the board of the company unlawful. Despite compelling evidence of several major problems with the running of the company, the Government of Ghana, which holds a significant stake in Adamus, has remained silent on the matter.

The controversy stems from the now-discounted claims of Ms. Angela List, who attempted to assert her role as Managing Director of BCM Investments and subsequently transferred all its shares to her own company, Nguvu Mining Ltd. recently registered in Mauritius, despite claims of being a Ghanaian company.
