Preah Vihear provincial authorities cracked down last week on an illegal gold mining operation occurring inside a land concession belonging to a Chinese company in Rovieng district. Unauthorised mining is common both inside and outside the 2008 concession to Cambodia WS Mining Industry Holding Ltd, known to locals as CWS, which is located near Romtum commune’s Trapang Tutem village, local authorities said yesterday.

Kong Makara, director of the provincial mines and energy department, said that following the crackdown led by the department, CWS had deployed guards to patrol the area. “So far, the lawless mining took place on the company’s land . . . the company is deploying its guards there,” Makara said before declining to comment further.
