Exton Cubic Limited filed a suit at the High Court for revoking company’s Nyinahini mining lease to undertake prospecting of bauxite in the Ashanti Region.
The company said, “the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources acted ultra vires [beyond] his statutory powers when he revoked Exton Cubic Group Limited mining leases.”
The withdrawal of the license was a “breach of the rules of natural Justice, and in breach of the company’s rights to administrative justice and property.”
The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources John Peter Amewu announced the cancellation of the bauxite mining lease in September.
The company had indicated they may file legal suit against the government for revoking three mining lease.
