The mineral resources in the area were for the people of Ghana entrusted in the President.

And this is what Government has brought up the Community Mining so that the chiefs and people of this Community can take proper care of the minerals, according to him.

He says the Community Mining Scheme seeks to ensure mining activities are done in accordance with the law and to provide jobs for residence.

He stated that revenues generated from mining activities are used for the development of the country, including Tinga, hence the need to protect the nation’s mineral resources at all times.
