The management of Nyame Aseda Mining, a small-scale mining company, has offered its strong support to the government's Operation Halt taskforce, expressing their readiness to help rid the water bodies of illegal miners.
Two representatives believed to be from Nyame Aseda Mining stated in a video that their mining excavators have been affected and burned; however, this will not deter them from supporting the government's efforts. "We have become victims of the government's joint operations between the military and the small-scale miners as our excavators have been burnt. "The burning of our equipment will, however, not prevent us from lending our support to the government's efforts to rid the country of galamsey.
We are ready to join the fight against galamsey," he said.
The speaker, however, called on members of the Small-Scale Mining Association to exercise patience and rally their support behind the government's efforts for the greater good. "We appeal and urge all members of the Small-Scale Miners Association to exercise patience and rally support behind the government.
