23 illegal miners were arrested by private security guards in the underground mine area of Earl International Group Gold Ghana Ltd, a large-scale mining company operating in Gbane in the Talensi District.
The suspects were among over 100 galamseyers who invaded the mine on the midnight of Wednesday January 15, 2025 at Shaft 2, level 2 through illegal mining pits.
They have since been handed over to the police for further action.
The massive invasion of the underground mine by illegal miners has been a persistent challenge since the commencement of the deep underground mining operations of the company.
