The ban was extended after the period elapsed.<\/p>\n<p>Sector minister John Peter Amewu, explained that: \u201cThere\u2019s going to be an extension because we have not achieved what we are looking for but we\u2019ll put in modalities and during the extension period, a lot will be done, we are talking about regularising the whole system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in an interview with Chief Jerry Forson, host of &#8216;Ghana Yensom&#8217; on Accra100.5FM on Monday, 4 December, Mr Karikari said: \u201cThe government will start rolling out the Multi-Sectoral Mining Integrated Project for the miners to equip them with the right skills in doing responsible mining.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ban, he said, \u201cwill be lifted in three months&#8217; time. The level of damage done the water bodies is too high, and, so, we needed to extend the ban, the government had to spend millions of dollars to reverse the rivers to their normal state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand the plight of the miners, we know they have to make ends meet but the government wants responsible mining, the government is not against mining, and, so, we want to properly regulate their activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 63 updated by: 45 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Monday, 4 December 2017 Source: classfmonline.com 2017-12-04 The MMIP will be rolled out soon to equip miners with the right skills for responsible mining The ban placed on small-scale mining as a way of dealing with the illegal small-scale miners (galamseyers) will be lifted in three months\u2019 time, Isaac Karikari, Project Coordinator [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":423319,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-443519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ban on small-scale mining to end in 3 months - Isaac Karikari - Ghanamma.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2017\/12\/04\/ban-on-small-scale-mining-to-end-in-3-months-isaac-karikari\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Ban on small-scale mining to end in 3 months - Isaac Karikari - Ghanamma.com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"General News of Monday, 4 December 2017 Source: classfmonline.com 2017-12-04 The MMIP will be rolled out soon to equip miners with the right skills for responsible mining The ban placed on small-scale mining as a way of dealing with the illegal small-scale miners (galamseyers) will be lifted in three months\u2019 time, Isaac Karikari, Project Coordinator [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/04\\\/ban-on-small-scale-mining-to-end-in-3-months-isaac-karikari\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/04\\\/ban-on-small-scale-mining-to-end-in-3-months-isaac-karikari\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"\",\"@id\":\"\"},\"headline\":\"Ban on small-scale mining to end in 3 months &#8211;
