Four workers working for a foreign owned quarry company, STA Omni, which is near Shama, in the Western Region, are presumed dead following an explosion that occurred at the site last Saturday night.
The dead are believed to be both Ghanaian and Chinese workers of the Quarry Company.
A mishandling of Ammonia Nitrate is suspected to be the cause of the explosion that occurred at the site, leading to the death of the four workers and injuries to several others.
A source close to the Quarry confirmed the casualties were all workers.
In other words, no residents in the communities around the Quarry site recorded casualties or injury as a result of the explosion.
The site was formerly owned by South African investors until new investors took over the site a few months ago.
