Kédougou : 21 motopompes et plusieurs équipements saisis lors du démantèlement de sites d’orpaillage clandestins.
An operation carried out near Tinkoto and Thiankoumbassa enabled the ESI elements of Kédougou, supported by those from Kanoumery, to seize important equipment used in illegal gold mining.
The fight against illegal gold mining continues in the Kédougou region. Yesterday, from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the ESI support point in Kédougou, based in Tinkoto, reinforced by that of Kanoumery, proceeded to dismantle several illegal gold mining sites set up near Tinkoto and Thiankoumbassa.
This operation allowed the teams involved to seize a significant quantity of equipment intended for gold mining activities. The haul included 21 motor pumps, four generators, and six spitting machines.
ESI members also seized a Piki-Paka type motorcycle and a bag containing activated charcoal, a product used in some gold recovery processes.
At the end of the operation, all the seized equipment was made available to the judicial team of the local brigade (BP) of Sabodala, for further proceedings.
This latest intervention illustrates the continuation of operations against illegal gold mining activities in a region where gold mining, when it escapes the control of the authorities, raises concerns related to environmental protection, the safety of people and compliance with mining regulations.
The legal proceedings following this operation should help determine any potential responsibilities related to the installation and operation of these clandestine sites.
