The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor, has reiterated the government’s commitment to protecting Anglogold Ashanti Obuasi Mine from any illegal attack.
He has been engaging traditional leaders, authorities of AngloGold Ashanti and small-scale miners in the Obuasi Municipality after some miners allegedly invaded an underground mine of Anglogold.
The minister is seeking to resolve the hostilities between the community and the mine.
Last week, some unauthorized miners allegedly invaded a remote area of Anglogold Ashanti’s underground mine.
The illegal miners however, claimed they were trapped, leading to protests in the Obuasi town.
