The Youth Movement of Salman & Citizen Advocate Group has issued a strong rejoinder to what it describes as false and misleading information being circulated about the operations of Adamus Mining Company in the Salman area.

In a statement dated July 18, 2026, the group alleged that some individuals, whom it claims are hired illegal miners (galamsey operators), have been spreading misinformation aimed at tarnishing the image of the mining company and creating unnecessary tension within the community.

According to the statement, the allegations against Adamus Mining Company are "baseless, malicious, and intended to mislead the public, create unnecessary tension, and undermine the company's lawful operations and its relationship with host communities."

The Youth Movement stated that Adamus Mining Company operates within the legal framework of Ghana and continues to engage local stakeholders through community consultation and development initiatives. It further maintained that the company remains committed to responsible mining practices, environmental stewardship, and peaceful coexistence with surrounding communities.

The group appealed to the general public, traditional authorities, community members, and the media to disregard what it described as unverified claims and instead rely on information released through official and credible sources.

Additionally, the statement called on the relevant state security agencies to investigate individuals allegedly spreading misinformation and encouraging illegal mining activities, arguing that such actions pose a threat to peace, public safety, and the rule of law.

Reaffirming its commitment to transparency and constructive engagement, the Youth Movement of Salman & Citizen Advocate Group emphasized its dedication to promoting truth and supporting the sustainable development of the Salman area.

The statement was issued through Nana Kwamena Bentum II, Chief of Salman, who also serves as the contact person for the release.
