In a statement, Betterland Ghana Limited said the report is "false, misleading, defamatory, and calculated to injure the reputation of the firm." It stated that "The audiovisual material aired by GTV is not from the Draw River Forest Reserve. Most of the footage originates from Atiwa Forest, yet was deliberately misrepresented as destruction in Gwira Banso."
Betterland Ghana Limited added that it was "never contacted, consulted, or given the opportunity to clarify the facts before the broadcast." It stated that it is engaged solely in expanded exploration works, not illegal mining. Its activities are conducted under a valid Mining License issued by the Minerals Commission after fulfilling all statutory requirements. It further stated that "Exploration and preparatory works are lawful, regulated activities, distinct from illegal mining (galamsey). Any suggestion otherwise is false, defamatory, and unacceptable."
