General News of Sunday, 17 December 2023Source: www.ghanaweb.comA former Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, Dr. Toni Aubynn, has asserted that the government of Ghana failed to take advantage of the importance and global demand for lithium. According to him, the current deal between the government and Barrari DV was just cosmetic and tokenistic. In a LinkedIn post sighted by GhanaWeb Business, Toni Aubynn stressed that Ghana has lost an opportunity to benefit adequately from the recent lithium deal. "After a careful analysis of the recent agreement for the development of our lithium resources in Ewoyaa in the Central region of Ghana, I have come to the conclusion that Ghana failed to take advantage of the current importance and global demand for lithium. According to him, this is the first time in the country’s history that it has been able to negotiate 10% royalties in a minerals deal.
