The Inter Ministerial Committee on Fight Against Illegal Mining a fourth night ago held a press conference to give out a road map towards the lifting of the ban on small scale mining.

 

The Deputy Minister visited four regions, Western, Central, Ashanti and Eastern to inspect the preparedness of the various Assemblies towards the evacuation of the excavators.

The Minister for Environment, Science and Technology Prof. Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng who is the head of the Committee, reiterated governments resolve to fight the menace.

IMCIN assessed all mining regions during a nationwide tour and formed the District Committee on Illegal Mining (DCIM).

A total of 144 drone pilots from the Nation’s Builders Corps, Prof Boateng disclosed, were being trained for the DCIMs; 10 for the IMCIM, 18 for Operation Vanguard and 15 for the Minerals Commission.

The Deputy Minister was accompanied by Charles Bissue who is the Secretary to the Committee, a representative from the Small Scale Miners Association and other officials from the Interior Minister.

Meanwhile, the government in a press statement, has announced the vetting of documents of artisanal and small scale miners.
