Minerals Commission warns against fake job recruitment schemes
The Minerals Commission has cautioned the public against individuals and unauthorised groups allegedly offering jobs or promising to facilitate recruitment into the Commission in exchange for money.
The Minerals Commission has secured 13 new mining block areas across Ghana to provide legal spaces for small-scale miners who were previously operating illegally, especially in areas near water bodies. This move is part of a larger strategy to combat illegal mining by combining strict enforcement measures with the provision of legitimate, surveyed mineral-bearing locations for legitimate mining operations.
Mr. Klu, a spokesperson for the Commission, stated that these alternative locations are available to all miners. To conduct initial surveys of the identified areas, the Commission has acquired three drones equipped with electromagnetic exploration technology.
