The “Operation Vanguard” is made up of 400 security men from the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) and the Police Service.
The team has been divided into three groups to cover the Ashanti, Eastern and Western regions.
They have been asked to stay at their assigned regions until all forms of illegal mining have been stopped.
