NAIMOS task force continues crackdown on illegal mining in Bole-Bamboi

The National Anti-Illegal Mining Operation Secretariat (NAIMOS) Task Force has continued its operations in the Bole-Bamboi area of the Savannah Region, targeting illegal mining sites and companies involved in galamsey activities.
On July 25, 2025, the task force visited a company where 11 Chinese nationals were arrested the previous day and seized various equipment and items.
Seized Equipment and Items
The task force took control of the following equipment and items:
- Vehicles:
- 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)
- 1 Forland small truck
- Other Items:
- 10 drums of engine oil
- 28 assorted Richlion tires
- Motorbikes
Transportation to NAIMOS HQ
The seized equipment and items have been conveyed to NAIMOS headquarters in Accra through hired drivers, where they will be held for further direction and action.
Ongoing Operations
The NAIMOS Task Force continues to conduct swoops at galamsey sites in the area, demonstrating its commitment to addressing the environmental and social impacts of illegal mining.
The operations aim to protect the country's natural resources and ensure that those involved in galamsey activities are held accountable.
The NAIMOS Task Force's operations in Bole/Bamboi are a significant step towards addressing the issue of illegal mining in Ghana.
The seizure of equipment and items will likely disrupt the operations of galamsey operators in the area, and the task force's continued efforts will be crucial in protecting the environment and promoting sustainable mining practices.
