A five member Interim Management Committee (IMC) established by an Accra High Court to oversee the affairs of Adamus Resources Limited, a gold mining company in the Western Region has expressed its readiness to dialogue with the management and staff for smooth operation of the mine.
Adamus Resources Limited is 90 percent owned by Adamus Australia while the government of Ghana owns the remaining 10 percent shares.
However, Nguvu Mining Limited registered in Mauritius claimed to have acquired the 90 percent shares in the company from Adamus Australia and the alleged claim resulted in a purported dispute.
The case was later sent to the Accra High Court (Commercial Division) and on July 27, 2023, the court established the IMC to oversee the affairs of the company until the case is fully determined.
According to the IMC, attempts to meet and dialogue with the management staff at the site of the company has not been successful.
Adamus Resources successfully defended its office premises against an attempted takeover by BCM Ghana on Monday, March 25, 2024.
Speaking to journalists at Esiama in the Ellembelle District, Isaac Ackon, a member of the IMC said, “We went to the Head Office of the company on March 25, 2024 to carry out our mandate. Unfortunately we were prevented from entering the office”.
“We took steps to go to the site in the Western Region. We met with the regional police command to seek assistance to implement the court order and to meet with the staff but we were prevented from assessing the premises of the mine”, he noted.
He noted that the IMC will go back to speak to its lawyers to know the next line of action.
Meanwhile, DAILY GUIDE has gathered that the other party claiming to have acquired the 90 per cent share of Adamus Resources has successfully appealed against the IMC’s creation, citing procedural flaws.
It was also gathered that the party has further applied for a stay of execution on the creation of the IMC; and maintains that until that is decided on by the court, there is no IMC.
