A group calling itself Concerned Citizens of Talensi (CCT), in the Upper East Region, are calling for the expulsion of Chinese firm, Shaanxi Mining Ghana Limited in the Gbane area with immediate effect for operating illegally.<\/p>\n
The group accused the company of indulging in large-scale mining, since 2012, without a license, instead of providing technical support services to Pubuotaba and Yenyeya small scale mining groups to serve as a mining support service company.<\/p>\n
It also blamed the Shaanxi mining company for needless deaths of small-scale miners in the area.<\/p>\n
