Testing new Goldbod CEO’s ‘new law’ on small-scale mining against the law
Full story
The CEO of GoldBod stated that individuals should be allowed to mine, register, and regularize their status regardless of whether they hold a license. This applies as long as the mining does not occur in water bodies, forest reserves, or roadside areas.
“Once it’s not a water body; it’s not a forest reserve or… place like a roadside, whether the person has a licence or not; the government says we should allow the person to mine and register and regularise them” – CEO, GoldBod
