Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has announced an imminent expose on Angela List's Nguvu and Kononogo mining operations. The investigation, to be published by The New Crusading Guide, aims to uncover the interests, connections, and power struggles surrounding the controversial mining concessions. Anas' team at Tiger Eye has spent time examining documents and court records to piece together the story.
The upcoming exposé is expected to examine the people and relationships linked to List's mining business, the interests driving the battle over control of the mines, and what the unfolding situation means for Ghana's gold industry. This development has raised questions about the wider national interest, particularly the financial and economic cost to the state as the dispute drags on.
The announcement has already brought fresh attention to the ongoing controversy surrounding the Konongo mining concession. At the centre of the dispute is Northern Ashanti Mines, a subsidiary of Nguvu Mining, which is challenging the termination of its mining lease in court. The company claims it was not properly notified of alleged breaches and was not given a fair opportunity to respond to concerns raised against it.
Northern Ashanti Mines has also approached the court seeking an injunction to stop the state from taking over the concession while legal proceedings continue. The situation took another turn on October 22, 2026, when reports emerged that military and police personnel had moved into the mine's premises and instructed workers to leave.
With the legal battle still unfolding and questions surrounding the concession continuing to grow, Anas' promised investigation could bring further scrutiny to the interests and individuals involved in one of Ghana's closely watched mining disputes. Anas gave a hint of what could be a major investigation, stating that some stories are reported, while others had to be dug out.
Among the questions posed by the investigative team are who the key players behind the operations are, the networks supporting the mining interests, and how the ongoing fight is affecting Ghana's gold sector. Although Anas has yet to reveal specific findings or mention any names, his announcement has generated significant interest in the case.
The investigation is set to shed more light on the controversy, which has significant implications for Ghana's mining industry and the country's economy. The outcome of the investigation and the ongoing court case will likely have far-reaching consequences for the stakeholders involved.
