The team proceeded to Dominase, visiting Kwakuboa and Kwabikrom where the team was warmly received by community leaders. Shortly after which brief introductions were conducted, the team conducted site assessment at the proposed areas to evaluate proposed areas for Cooperative Mining Schemes.
The visit climaxed at Sefwi Sui, a community rich in mineral resources and eager to embrace responsible mining practices. The team was warmly received by community leaders and a representative by the Municipal Chief Executive of Sefwi Wiawso, Hon. Dominic Gyasi.
