On Wednesday, 5th April, 2023, the Dormaa East District Security Committee hosted a round-table discussion centered on the theme, “Diagnosing the benefits and problem in ASGM practices to apply appropriate solutions: Reversing the Galamsey Menace in Ghana”.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The event commenced with a presentation from Prof. Emmanuel Arhin, Dean-in-charge, Dormaa campus and Dean of school of Geoscience at the University of Energy and Natural Resources,<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He focused on the benefits and legalization of Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM). He mentioned that ASM provides employment- since 40% of local gold produce comes from small scale and illigal mining\/(galamsey) groups.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“In monetary terms Ghana receives $1.3 billion from this sector in 2020, therefore efforts to eliminate galamsey must be carried out in manner that does not affect proceeds from the sector”. he said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Hon. Emmanuel Kofi Agyeman, Dormaa East DCE also acknowledged the menace and stated his bad experience at various galamsey sites that it is not as a result of ASM but rather, as a result of the irresponsibility of their operations.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
