Waste management company, Zoomlion Ghana Limited says it has the expertise to apply land reclamation techniques to remediate degraded sites due to illegal mining activities.
The company said over the past 15 years, it had made huge investments in infrastructure, technology and equipment towards managing waste, and could therefore reclaim mined-out sites if given the opportunity.
The Managing Director of Zoil Services Limited, a subsidiary of Zoomlion Ghana Limited, Dr Kenneth Asamoah-Boateng gave the assurance during Thursday’s National Consultative Dialogue on Small-Scale Mining in Accra.
Mine experts have estimated that it will cost the government about $250 million to reclaim mined sites in the Western Region alone.
