IN line with its social responsibility, X’tra-Gold, a gold mining company at Kwabeng in the Eastern Region, has provided four boreholes in two communities in its operational areas.
Two of the boreholes constructed by Starco Drilling Company at a total cost of GH¢32,000, have been sited at Pameng and the remaining two at Akyem Akropong.
Inaugurating the boreholes last Tuesday, a Director of X’tra-Gold, Mr Victor Nkansah, said his outfit decided to provide the amenities free of charge to the people to enable them to enjoy potable water.
He said the gesture had become necessary because of the possibility of the company’s activities impacting negatively on the people, and gave the assurance that X’tra-Gold would in the near future provide additional social amenities in the area.
Mr Nkansah, therefore, urged the people to take good care of the boreholes, expressing his appreciation to the chiefs for their support which made it possible for the company to carry out its activities in a peaceful atmosphere.
The Chief of Pameng, Barima Okorie Brasiam and the Krontihene of Akyem Akropong, Nana Wiredu Kwakye II, thanked the company for providing the boreholes.
They, however, asked the company to provide other social amenities such as modern public places of convenience and also rehabilitate some of the dilapidated school buildings in the area to further improve the living condition of the people.
