Ghana's Coalition for Accountable Resource Governance Opposes Lithium Royalty Reduction

Ghana's Coalition for Accountable Resource Governance Opposes Lithium Royalty Reduction

The Coalition for Accountable Resource Governance (CARG-Ghana) has expressed strong opposition to the Ghanaian government's decision to reduce the royalty rate for the Ewoyaa Lithium Project from 10 percent to five percent. This decision is part of a renegotiated agreement with Barari DV Ghana Limited, a subsidiary of Atlantic Lithium. CARG-Ghana argues that this reduction undermines national interests and represents a setback in securing optimal value from Ghana's emerging green mineral sector. The coalition disputes the government's interpretation of the Minerals and Mining Amendment Act of 2015, which they claim allows for negotiation beyond the three to six percent band. Traditional leaders and policy think tanks like IMANI Africa have also voiced concerns, urging Parliament to reject the deal and establish a minimum 10 percent rate for future mineral contracts.
