A High Court has scheduled a trial date. The date is April 22.
The trial involves Chairman Wontumi and Akonta Mining. They are accused of illegal mining.
The alleged illegal mining took place in the Tano Nimiri Forest Reserve. This area is a protected forest reserve.
The court will hear evidence on these charges. The legal proceedings are set to begin next month.
Charges stem from investigations into galamsey operations. These operations are said to have impacted the forest reserve.
The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has been taking action against illegal mining.
This trial is part of ongoing efforts to enforce laws against environmental destruction.
