A court in Accra has told Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Wontumi, that he must now defend himself in court.
He is on trial because he is accused of letting two people mine on his concession.
This happened without getting the required approval from the government.
The judge at Criminal Court 4 made the order.
This decision came after the judge listened to the prosecution's arguments.
The case involves allegations of illegal mining activities.
Bernard Antwi Boasiako will now have the chance to present his side of the story.
The court process will continue as he opens his defence.
