Anas Aremeyaw Anas announces exposé on Angela List’s Nguvu, Kononogo mines

Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has announced plans to release an exposé on Angela List’s Nguvu and Kononogo mining operations, with questions about the interests behind the mines and the ongoing dispute over their control expected to feature in the investigation.

In a post on his Facebook page, Anas said The New Crusading Guide and Tiger Eye investigative team examined documents and court records in putting the report together.

“Some stories are reported. This one had to be dug out,” the announcement said, hinting at findings the team has yet to make public.

The investigation is expected to look at the people and relationships behind List’s mining interests, as well as the implications of the dispute for Ghana’s gold sector.

It also raises questions about what the state stands to lose as the fight over the mines continues.

“How is the fight reshaping Ghana’s gold sector and what is the state losing while it rages on? What networks and relationships underpin List’s operations? Who and who are behind?” the announcement asked.

The team has not yet disclosed its specific findings or named the individuals who may feature in the report.

The announcement comes amid a dispute over the Konongo mining concession involving Northern Ashanti Mines, a subsidiary of Nguvu Mining.

The company has challenged the termination of its mining lease in court, arguing that it was not given notice of the alleged breaches or an opportunity to address them. It has also sought an injunction to prevent the state from taking over the concession while the legal case is pending.

The dispute has drawn further attention following reports that military and police personnel took control of the mine’s premises on October 22, 2026, and directed workers to leave.
