QUESTION ONE Kwame is a Ghanaian citizen who holds a valid Prospecting Licence granted under the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703) covering 100 square kilometres in the Ashanti Region. Without seeking ministerial approval, Kwame sells his licence to a foreign company, GoldCo Ltd, which immediately begins drilling operations on the land. The drilling causes significant damage to crops and destroys a building belonging to Abena, a farmer whose family has worked the land for generations under customary tenure. When the Minerals Commission discovers the unauthorised transfer, it cancels the licence without giving GoldCo any opportunity to be heard. GoldCo argues that the cancellation is unlawful. Abena, for her part, wants to know whether she is entitled to compensation and from whom she can claim it. Advise Kwame, GoldCo, and Abena on their respective legal positions under Act 703 and the 1992 Constitution. (15 marks) QUESTION TWO Section 48 of the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703) permits the state to include a stabilisation clause in a mining agreement, freezing certain fiscal terms for up to fifteen years. Critics argue that such clauses restrict Ghana’s ability to legislate in the public interest and lock the country into agreements that favour investors over citizens. Explain what a stabilisation clause is, why it is used in mining agreements, and critically assess whether the framework under section 48 of Act 703 strikes an appropriate balance between protecting investor interests and preserving the state’s sovereignty over Ghana’s mineral wealth under Article 257(6) of the 1992 Constitution.
