According to information, three people are feared dead after they were trapped in an illegal mining pit in Bremang in the Upper Denkyira West District of the Central region.
Fifteen more suspected galamseyers are still trapped in the pit, as rescuers race against time to save them.
Two others were pulled out of the pit but are in critical condition and have been rushed to the hospital for treatment.
A team of police and officials from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) is currently at the mining site helping to rescue the trapped miners.
The government recently intensified its fight against illegal mining in the country.
A task force called Operation Halt has been sent to mining areas to arrest all culprits and destroy their mining equipment with which they prospect for gold in the country’s water bodies and forest reserves.
