Miss Huang and three others are accused of engaging in illegal mining, and the sales of minerals without license.
They have all pleaded not guilty but remain in police custody.
Prosecutors say investigations have revealed that the accused persons entered the country illegally and that alone is enough basis to make them remain in police custody.
The accused are however expected to be in court on October 12, 2022.
The Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame weeks ago filed fresh charges against Aisha Huang in respect of mining offences she committed in Ghana between the years 2015 and 2017.
