Narawa Company Limited has issued an urgent public appeal to Ghanaian law enforcement and state security agencies, calling for immediate intervention to end what it describes as an ongoing armed occupation of its primary mining concession in the Fanteakwa District.

Field assessments cited by the company indicate that approximately 13 groups, including foreign nationals, are conducting illegal mining (galamsey) operations on the concession in breach of Section 70 of the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703).
