The Minerals Commission has addressed concerns regarding an application from High Street Ghana Limited for a mining license within Kakum National Park.
In a clear statement, the Commission firmly rejected the application, stating that it was not given any consideration and was promptly removed from the online mining cadastre.
This response came after concerns raised by Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) regarding the potential operation of the mining firm within Kakum National Park in the Central Region.
The Minerals Commission aimed to dispel any misconceptions, affirming that the application by High Street Ghana Limited was unequivocally rejected and should not be considered valid or under consideration.
“The Commission wishes to inform the CSOs and the public that the application by Hight Street Mining Company 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.”
