Officials of Yenyeya Mining Company Limited have registered dissatisfaction following a portion of the Presentation made by the Public Relation Officer (PRO) of Earl International Mining Group (GH) Gold Limited during the visit of the sector minister for Lands and Natural Resources.
According to the Officials of Yenyeya Mining Company Limited, the PRO of Earl International Maxwell Wooma during his presentation gave the sector Minister Samuel Abu Jinapor the impression that all the 38 small scale miners around the area have been compensated and settled without been specific about the current misunderstanding and issues pending between Yenyeya Mining Company Limited and Earl International Mining (GH) Gold Limited.
“What happened was that we have seen the sign a new agreement and this new agreement is to enhance peace, so the small scale mining holders who you have just seen in the last slide shall now have some shares in our large scale operations. So, when we mine gold, we will give them 2% of the large-scale gold production so they become an amalgam of small-scale miners who will have a common interest in our large-scale business. We have also compensated them because they incurred some losses or some expenses in the cause of their production and their small scale business. So, they have since been compensated” Earl International PRO told the Sector Minister.
Meanwhile, when Apexnewsgh.com contacted the Public Relation Officer (PRO) of Earl International Mining (GH) Gold Limited Maxwell Wooma for clarification following his earlier generalized pronouncement of all the 38 small scale miners been compensated and settled by Earl International.
He said, If you followed my subsequent interview we had with our media partners, I indicated that 36 out of the 38 have been sorted out. As a matter of fact, Yeyenya and pobortaba are part of the 38 small-scale miners who agreed to be compensated.
“The only difference is that they have not picked their monies but they agreed to be compensated per that schedule and they elected some leadership that will sign the MOU before and on behalf of the 38 small scale miners. Maxwell Wooma to Apexnews Gh.
