The company initially started defending its action by accusing the residents in the area of chemical fishing but later Newmont accepted its fault, however, downplayed the magnitude of the cyanide spillage.
However, the company, after EPA’s investigations, was found guilty and subsequently fined a penalty of 7 million Ghana cedis, which the company paid to the government, a year after the spillage and also provided alternative source of water to the communities.
