Illicit miners are threatening the existence of a famous town in River Cess County with the help of an official of the Ministry of Mines, an investigation by The DayLight has revealed.
Gbarwor Corporative Society Inc. does not have a license for its operations in the Morweh mining district, where Sand Beach is located, according to records of the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The company's only active license is for a semi-industrial goldmine in Grand Kru County, the records show as of June 16. It held a gold dealer's license for Montserrado County, which expired last January, and two gold prospecting licenses in the same Grand Kru and Grand Bassa, respectively, both of which expired in 2019. It had another semi-industrial gold mining license also in Grand Bassa canceled in 2020.
