About 17 people have reportedly died from inhaling toxic gases from a blast while underground in a mining tunnel close to another mining concession, which is serviced by Chinese company Shaanxi. Investigations into the matter has begun but there is currently a cold relationship between the Chinese company and small-scale miners, who have been accusing each other of wrongdoing and threatening legal action. The escaped miner has not been located yet. Meanwhile, the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Kwaku Asomah-Cheremeh, has arrived in Talensi to assess the situation.
