Operations of Global (Ghana) Ore Industries Limited at the Aboso-Bompieso mining concession in the Western Region were reportedly disrupted on last Thursday when a group allegedly attacked company officials and prevented workers from accessing the mine site. The Ghanaian Times gathered that about 10 people, including Chinese investors and partners of Global Ore, were attacked when they visited the concession. The Community Affairs Officer of Global Ore, Mr Prosper Makafui Agbetoh, confirmed that the incident occurred around midday and called on the Ghana Police Service and other state security agencies to investigate. Mr Agbetoh said the incident followed government approval for Global Ore to operate the Aboso-Bompieso mining concession after the transfer of the mining lease from Adudanfed Company Limited. An official of Global Ore, who declined to be named, mentioned that the incident could affect investor confidence and potentially strain Ghana-China relations.
