<p>The team recently met with Scott Investment Company, owned by Mr. Rondy Scott, which has relocated to Grand Kru after being previously fined by the EPA while operating in Gbarpolu.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><a></a>Unfortunately, it was discovered that Scott Investment is currently operating without an environmental permit, resulting in significant land degradation and pollution in the area.</p>

<p>The team also identified MK Group, another Class B mining company, which is operating without the necessary permit and is causing serious environmental harm along Dugbo Creek in Gbakan Town.</p>

<p>Additionally, Baby Girl Creek Mining, owned by Joice Bargor in Dwehken, is also running without an environmental permit, much like GMGC Mining Company, which has a large operational camp and is similarly without proper permissions.</p>
