The National Anti-Illegal Mining Operation Secretariat (NAIMOS) Task Force has continued its operations in the Bole/Bamboi area, targeting illegal mining sites and companies involved in galamsey activities.
NAIMOS, in a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency, said on July 25, the Task Force visited a company where 11 Chinese nationals were arrested the previous day and seized various equipment and items.
Task Force took control of equipment and items such as 4 Shacman tipper trucks (GT 7048-25, GT 7035-25, GT 7265-25, GT 7243-25), 1 bulldozer (GT 5321-25), 1 low bed (GT 1128-21), and 1 Forland small truck.
Other items are 10 drums of engine oil, 28 assorted richlion tires and motorbikes.
The statement said the seized equipment and items had been conveyed to NAIMOS Headquarters in Accra through hired drivers, where they would be held for further direction and action.

Touching on ongoing operations, the statement said the NAIMOS Task Force continued to conduct swoops at galamsey sites in the area, demonstrating its commitment to addressing the environmental and social impacts of illegal mining.
It said the operations aim to protect the country’s natural resources and ensure that those involved in galamsey activities were held accountable.
The statement said the NAIMOS Task Force’s operations in Bole/Bamboi were a significant step towards addressing the issue of illegal mining in Ghana.
It noted that the seizure of equipment and items would likely disrupt the operations of galamsey operators in the area, and the task force’s continued efforts would be crucial in protecting the environment and promoting sustainable mining practices.
