More than 10,000 Illegal miner are believed to
be working on AngloGold Ashanti Obuasi and Amansie Central district
concession, though legally any individual or group other than AngloGold
Ashanti prospecting, exploring, mining and processing gold is engaged in
illegal activity. While the Chinese and other foreign illegal miners
with sophiscated pieces of equipment, are working savagely in river beds
with deadly chemicals such as mercury; their Ghanaians counterparts
are using hard rock explosives on the core areas of the Obuasi
operation. Both have total disregard for their safety and the safety of
the people in the communities as well as the safety of AngloGold
Ashanti employees and dependents.
