Security officials in the Ashanti Region, Kumasi, have uncovered a huge quantity of Sodium cyanide, a cancerous substance used in mining, in a residential facility.
The discovery comes on the heels of the visit of the Lands and Natural Resource Minister, John Peter Amewu, to the region to garner support against a sweeping ban on mining.
Sodium Cyanide is widely used by small scale miners as well as illegal miners to extract gold.
