The Minority in Parliament is demanding the resignation or dismissal of Lands and Natural Resources Minister Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah over the withdrawal of the lithium mining agreement. MP Vincent Ekow Assafuah says the move, following public outcry over the 5% royalty deal with Barari DV Ghana Limited, has weakened Ghana’s negotiation position and embarrassed Parliament. #CitiNewsroom #LithiumMining #GhanaParliament #EmmanuelArmahKofiBuah #MiningAgreement

The Minority in Parliament criticizes the joint Ghana Armed Forces and Police Service show of force in Accra as a ‘misplaced priority’ and waste of resources.

This is huge for the commodity sector US minerals and supply chain czar David Copley on the US plans to regain independence: - Mining will get a lot of attention from governments around the world - Mining is a priority area for US national development - Critical minerals in the US are priority no. 1 - The US will continue stockpiling minerals - The US wants to increase profitability in the rare earth space - Over the next few years, the US is going to invest 100s of B in the mining sector - The US wants a roadmap for every mineral vital to its economy This is a game changer for the industry, especially with regard to rare earths. Rare earths aren’t rare, but their mining and processing are very environmentally damaging. Western companies with ESG mandates can’t compete with Chinese counterparts, which don’t face these regulations and also enjoy state subsidies. The result was absolute dominance. China’s subsidized low prices forced Western companies out of business and increased China’s market share to up to 97% of rare earth processing and ~60% of rare earth mining. In the future, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are two pricing schemes for critical minerals: one for China/BRICS and one for the West. This race to regain critical minerals independence will lead to more supply shocks and subsequent price spikes.... creating a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the commodity space. The era of commodities is about to begin

Lawyer for the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP has expressed concern over the High Court’s judgment against his client, stating that the conviction and sentence were unexpected under the circumstances. He further argued that the relevant provisions of the Minerals and Mining Act refer to the assignment of mining rights rather than ownership, suggesting the law may have been misapplied.
