The Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has issued a week’s ultimatum to Engineers & Planners, Azumah Resources, to deal with the controversies surrounding the anticipated $100 million Black Volta Gold Project.
In a press release issued today, July 10, 2025, the minister ordered Azumah Resources Limited as well as Engineers & Planners (E&P) to resolve their differences amicably within seven days.
He warned that failure by the two companies to resolve the feud will result in a governmental decision “in the best interest of the country”.
The minister further directed the Minerals Commission, Ghana’s mining sector regulator, to “facilitate and support the parties in resolving their difference in order to ensure the timely commencement of the project.”
The statement was addressed to the two companies acknowledging “earlier correspondence” and “various press releases and public statements” on the matter.
“I have decided to grant the parties a final period of seven (7) days within which to resolve the matter amicably. Should this period elapse without a mutually agreed resolution, a decision shall be taken in the best interest of the country,” the statement said.
It added, “I strongly urge all parties to refrain from addressing this matter through the media and instead focus on constructive dialogue and responsible engagement.”
