MONROVIA, LIBERIA-A technical team comprising geologists and mining engineers of the Mines and Energy Ministry has begun a compliance inspection of underground mine facilities of the Bea Mountain Mining Company in Grand Cape Mount County.
Bea Mountain Mining Company is a ‘Class A’ mining company operating under a Mineral Development Agreement (MDA), the largest industrial gold mining company in Liberia.
The inspection considers the conditions of the mines, ensuring that key components of operating processes and procedures are coherent with provisions of the Mineral and Mining Law and regulations.
According to a release issued recently, the team is inspecting all underground mines of Bea Mountain, which include Kinjor, Larjor, and Weajue, among others.
The team arrived in Kinjor over the weekend and is headed by Mining Engineer Adolphus Gleekai, who is the Deputy Inspector-General for Mines.
The compliance monitoring, the Ministry said, is done routinely at all mining companies to ensure proper regulation of the sector, boost investors’ confidence, and enhance revenue generation to support national development programs of the Government of Liberia.
