Upon arrival at the concession the team from the OGS came across illegal gold miners who wre operating on the mountains and in the creeks. The perpetrators were instructed to cease all activities and to dismantle all of their equipment immediately. Although the perpetrators initially offered resistance, the members of the OGS managed to convince them to pack up and leave the concession. The OGS made it clear that there is a zero tolerance policy on illegal activities within the gold mining sector. It is strictly forbidden for people to conduct activities within concessions that were allocated to others. Entrepreneurs and gold miners who want to start looking for gold must follow the official procedures.
