Betterland Ghana denies illegal mining allegations
A statement signed by Management and copied to the media on Monday said Betterland Ghana was a legally registered large-scale mining company with duly acquired concessions and had not commenced commercial mining operations.
Betterland Ghana Limited, a large-scale mining company operating in Gwira Banso, Western Region, has refuted claims of illegal mining within a forest reserve. The company stated that the allegations, reported by certain media outlets, were false and misleading. Betterland Ghana is a legally registered mining firm with acquired concessions, and has not started commercial mining operations.
Rather, it is currently conducting expanded exploration activities, as per their own statement. The company expressed concern over the negative impact of these claims on its reputation and relationships with partners. It challenged media houses to verify the footage they claimed was taken from its concession at Gwira Banso. Betterland Ghana also noted the presence of illegal small-scale mining in surrounding areas, but denied involvement in such activities.
The company pledged to comply with all legal and regulatory requirements for mining operations, and avoid breaching procedures.
