Salman youth back Adamus; call for crackdown on illegal miners
Salman youth appealed to the public on Friday, July 17, in the Ellembelle District of the Western Region to disregard what they describe as false and misleading information about the operations of Adamus Mining Company. They insisted that the allegations are intended to create tension and undermine lawful mining activities in the area.
The youth alleged that the misinformation was being spread by individuals believed to be linked to illegal mining (galamsey) operations. The statement was endorsed by the Chief of Salman, Nana Kwamena Bentum II, along with youth leaders and community representatives including Justice Kwadwo Amuzu, Jonas Kabutey, Francis Whajah, Andrews Kofi Assuah, Barnabas Ewereko, Francis Kwao Mensah, and Beatrice Amihere. They maintained that the claims against the mining company were "baseless, malicious and intended to mislead the public, create unnecessary tension, and undermine the company's lawful operations and its relationship with the host communities." They added that Adamus Mining Company operates within Ghana's legal and regulatory framework and continues to engage host communities through stakeholder consultations and community development initiatives.
