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.
