加纳议会多数党核心小组已宣布原10%的锂使用费为非法, 引用2010年一项将使用费上限定为5%的法律。 Ghana’s Parliament’s Majority Caucus has declared the original 10% lithium royalty rate unlawful, citing a 2010 law that caps royalties at 5%. 应Barari DV加纳有限公司在锂价格下跌的情况下提出的请求,提交了一份反映5%费率的修订协议。 A revised agreement reflecting the 5% rate has been submitted, following requests from Barari DV Ghana Limited amid falling lithium prices. 尽管更新符合现行法律,但少数群体反对,认为它减少了国家福利。 While the update complies with existing law, the Minority opposes it, arguing it reduces state benefits. 委员会主席Collins Dauda强调遵守法律,并确认努力修订采矿法,以便今后允许更高的特许权使用费,修订后的协议目前正在议会审查中。 Committee Chairman Collins Dauda stressed legal compliance and confirmed efforts to amend mining laws to allow higher royalties in the future, with the revised deal now under parliamentary review.
