The Earl International Group, a mining company operating in the Upper East Region, announced plans to double its workforce to 2,000 by late 2025 while urging government intervention to curb illegal mining encroaching on its sites during a meeting on Wednesday with Regional Minister Hon. Akamugri Donatus Atanga.
Executives from the firm, including General Manager Li Jian Guo and Public Relations Officer Ebenezer Bognab, highlighted both their economic contributions and challenges during their first formal engagement with Hon. Akamugri since his appointment.
Bognab stated that the company, active in the Talensi district since 2008, employs 1,000 workers and aims to expand operations with new mining shafts.
Illegal mining activities, locally called galamsey, were cited as a critical threat. Mine Manager Firibus Sallia detailed how unauthorized miners have dug tunnels connecting to Earl Group’s concessions, flooding pits and forcing a two-week operational halt.
Bognab emphasized that the intrusions jeopardize mine safety and longevity but clarified that the company seeks to halt interference, not displace local miners.
Hon. Akamugri pledged cooperation, applauding Earl Group’s role in regional development and aligning it with President John Mahama’s anti-galamsey campaign.
He warned against vigilante actions but assured that the Regional Coordinating Council would protect lawful businesses. The minister also urged the firm to consider hiring 5,000 workers to further curb unemployment and crime.
The government will enforce mining regulations and address security concerns, Hon. Akamugri said, urging prompt reporting of issues to prevent escalation.
Earl Group officials agreed to collaborate, stressing compliance with operational guidelines.
The meeting included Deputy Public Relations Officer Azongo Albert and followed heightened national efforts to tackle the environmental and economic damage caused by illegal mining.
Winston here from Iowa. I’m always watching for new sites and looking at older ones and thought I’d reach out to see if you could use a hand driving targeted traffic, automating repetitive tasks, or some good old fashioned bulk targeted outreach campaigns to lists I already own.
I’ve been doing this for over 20 years — building sites, editing videos, crafting bulk email campaigns (I even provide the targeted lists as I mentioned), running traffic, creating custom software, fixing and optimizing WordPress sites, I’ll even pay for any plugins you might want/need. If a solution exists, I’ve probably built it or bought it — and if I haven’t, I will for your project. I’m happy to shoulder 90% of the cost with tools, lists, licenses, and tech I already own.
All I ask is a flat $99/month for my time, month to month — no catch. I don’t mean to impose, I just wanted to offer real help if you’re open to it.
Quick background: born and raised in the Midwest, married, three girls. If I can support them by helping you using everything I’ve built over the years, that’s the kind of win-win I can imagine. It still amazes me how few people actually help the way I do — and I’d love the chance to show you.
If you need anything at all, just ask, doesn’t cost anything to do that.
P.S. – If I missed something you might need help with, just ask. I only scratched the surface here.
All the best,
Winston
