The illegal miners, according to Babasa, are encroaching on areas covered by a MPSA belonging to Canadian firm TVI.
He said small scale miners “extract gold ore and these miners don’t remit their mines to the Central Bank
.”

“Instead they sell it directly to black market,” he added.
“We really wanted to enforce the law to finally put a stop to this… because the illegal miners don’t have a permit from the local government unit,” said Babasa.
“In the end the government is on the losing end,” he said.
