The Ghana National Association of Small Scale Miners (GNASSM) has launched the Ashanti chapter of its nationwide registration initiative, aimed at addressing complexities and curbing illegal mining practices.
This 21-day exercise, commencing in the Amansie West zone, seeks to distinguish between licensed and unlicensed miners, contributing to a more regulated sector.
Speaking at the launch in Antoakrom, National Communications Director, Razak Abdul Alhassan emphasized the need for public awareness regarding the diverse categories of miners.
He stated that the registration would differentiate between licensed operators, prospective miners, and those needing land, enabling effective formalization.
