The Chamber of Mines head noted that illegal mining was a natural disaster that should be fought by all and sundry, since by law (Minerals and Mining Act 2006 (Act 703) natural resources belong to Ghanaians, including media practitioners.
He stressed that it is time the media asked relevant questions to provoke answers as to who are behind illegal mining activities across the country.
His concern emanates from the fact that illegal mining is affecting the fortunes of gold production levels in Ghana besides pollution of water bodies and massive environmental degradation.
