The High Court in Accra has ordered Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Wontumi, to open his defence in a trial.
He faces charges related to mining activities on his concession.
Specifically, he is accused of permitting individuals to mine without the necessary ministerial approval.
The court made the decision after the prosecution presented its case.
The judge ruled that there was enough evidence for Mr. Boasiako to answer the charges.
This legal action follows investigations into alleged illegal mining operations.
The case continues as Mr. Boasiako prepares to present his defence.
This development highlights the ongoing efforts to regulate mining activities in the region.
