When the Ghana News Agency (GNA) visited the beach on Thursday morning, the whole stretch of the beach from Aisa, a suburb of Elmina, to the Elmina Castle area which was previously inundated with \u201cminers\u201d had been deserted.<\/p>\n
The GNA followed up to the Edinamanhen\u2019s palace where dozens of the gold diggers met with Nana Kodwo Conduah VI to appeal to him to allow them to search for gold at the beach to enable them earn a living.<\/p>\n
Nana Conduah, however, told them to exercise restraint until next week Monday, December 5, whilst he met with officials of the Mineral\u2019s Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency to ascertain the impact the mining activity will have on the beach to enable them to decide whether to allow them to continue or not.<\/p>\n
The residents engaged in the mining agreed with the decision by Nana Conduah\u00a0 but\u00a0 threatened that they will continue their activities if they did not hear from him on the agreed date.<\/p>\n
