‘’we will put enough pressure on the government and concerned authorities to revoke the mining license from these crooks that called themselves investors in order to give way to serious and trustworthy investors’’, some of the local authorities stated adding that they will stop at nothing until SL Mining is finally kicked out of Sierra Leone by the government because according to them, Gerald Metals/SL Mining are just here to destroy the country.
