See list of 278 small-scale mining licences revoked by Minerals Commission
A public notice issued on October 23, 2025, said the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources authorised the revocations under the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703) and the Minerals and Mining (General) Regulations, 2012 (L.I. 2173).
According to the notice, some operators failed to renew their licences, making them ineligible to continue mining, while others breached regulatory conditions.
It said the decision formed part of measures to strengthen governance in the management of mineral rights and ensure compliance within the small-scale mining sector.
The statement noted that the government viewed the regulations as necessary for responsible mining and sustainable development, and urged all operators to familiarise themselves with the legal requirements for acquiring and renewing licences.
