As the government intensifies its efforts to combat illegal mining and protect the small-scale mining sector, the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has engaged with key stakeholders in the industry.

On Thursday, March 20, 2025, Armah-Kofi Buah held extensive and productive discussions with the leadership of the Ghana National Association of Small-Scale Miners (GNASSM).

The small-scale miners applauded the Lands Minister for the strides he has made since assuming his new role.

The comprehensive dialogue covered critical areas such as illegal mining (galamsey), the issuance of mining licenses, community engagement, and stakeholder collaboration in the ongoing efforts to sanitize the small-scale mining sector.
