Mining in forests and water bodies cannot be tolerated – GoldBod CEO

In a statement, Gyamfi said three forms of unlicensed artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) are “irredeemably wrong” and can neither be tolerated nor reformed. These are mining that affects water bodies, mining in forest reserves, and mining in “obscene places” within communities, such as roadsides, school lands, and bedrooms, that endanger society and public health.
