The corporate singled out Arthur Johnson, alleged to be the group’s spokesperson, accusing him of spreading defamatory claims designed to hurt its fame and disrupt its operations in Liberia.
In a press assertion launched on Saturday, BMMC denied accusations associated to environmental hurt and illegal operations alongside the Mafa River. The corporate asserted that its mining actions are performed in accordance with Liberian legal guidelines and laws, and confirmed that it doesn’t function in or across the Mafa River.
“A number of laboratories and impartial scientific research have constantly confirmed that our operations pose no damaging influence on the atmosphere,” the assertion stated. “Complete testing has proven full compliance with environmental requirements on water, soil, air high quality, crops, noise, and vibrations.”
BMMC additional clarified that different actions akin to sand mining, agriculture, and small-scale mineral extraction alongside the river are carried out by third events unconnected to the corporate.
The agency advised the latest allegations could also be a part of a deliberate smear marketing campaign, aimed toward destabilizing its operations and extorting cash from the corporate.
The assertion additionally addressed claims involving the Environmental Safety Company (EPA), dismissing them as inaccurate and deceptive. “We aren’t conscious of any report from the EPA suggesting violations by Bea Mountain,” the corporate stated, including that its document of compliance stays intact.
BMMC questioned the legitimacy of the so-called “intelligence” cited by the group and expressed concern over the general public method through which the allegations had been raised.
“At no level have these people approached the corporate straight to debate their issues,” the assertion famous. “As an alternative, they organized a press convention seemingly meant to create public panic and draw media consideration.”
Calling the allegations reckless and defamatory, BMMC urged the Liberian authorities to intervene and examine what it described as a coordinated try and sabotage the corporate’s operations and undermine investor confidence within the nation.
“We strongly condemn these people and their actions,” the assertion concluded. “Their habits poses a menace not solely to Bea Mountain but in addition to Liberia’s broader funding atmosphere and nationwide growth.”
Bea Mountain reaffirmed its dedication to accountable mining practices and sustaining optimistic relationships with native communities and authorities.
