The attention of the Minerals Commission has been drawn to publications on social media that some Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in the country have vehemently kicked against the attempt by a mining firm to mine in the Kakum National Park in the Central Region.

According to the CSOs, the move follows an application by the High Street

Limited to the Minerals Commission for a license to mine in the Kakum National Park. 

The Commission wishes to inform the CSOs and the public that the application by High Street Limited was rejected and therefore cannot be processed or considered whatsoever.

Consequently, the Commission has deleted the application from the online mining cadastre.

The Commission wishes to assure the public that no mineral right whether for prospecting or mining shall be considered or granted in the Kakum National Park.

Signed.
