The Chief Executive Officer of Adamus Resources Ltd., Angela List, has strongly refuted allegations of fraud and regulatory breaches levelled against her and other industry figures, describing them as “false and malicious.”
In a statement issued yesterday, Angela List categorically denied accusations made by Michael Benziecie, who reportedly lodged a complaint with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
The allegations, which have gained traction in some media outlets, claim fraud under false pretence, misrepresentation, and violations of mining regulations.
“These baseless claims also target Mr. Martin Kwaku Ayisi, Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, and Ms. Rebecca Donkor, alleged to be a facilitator,” Angela stated. “They are entirely without merit or evidence.”
She further clarified that neither she nor the other individuals mentioned have been contacted by EOCO regarding the matter.
According to the statement, Benziecie’s activities within the Adamus concession were recently halted by security forces after he engaged in unauthorized and unlicensed operations, which allegedly caused significant environmental and operational damage.
Angela stressed that Adamus Resources Ltd. operates strictly in accordance with the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703), as amended, and the Environmental Protection Agency Act, 1994 (Act 490).
She firmly rejected any suggestion that the company has been complicit in illegal mining activities or has solicited payments from individuals or groups.
“I welcome a thorough EOCO investigation to expose these falsehoods and reserve all legal rights to address this defamatory attack robustly,” she added.
The statement concluded by affirming the company’s commitment to lawful operations and environmental stewardship, reiterating its readiness to cooperate with regulatory bodies to clarify any misunderstandings.
Adamus Resources Ltd. operates from its Accra office at Airport Residential Area and maintains mining operations in the Western Region of Ghana.
