A world class mining and industrial open air museum complex has now been totally stripped, ruined and neglected. Illegal miners were allowed on the premises and the whole place was physically dug up in search of remaining gold dust. The damage done is practically irreparable. What is left in terms of old machinery is at the peril of metal theft which makes it important to install some strict security at the premises as soon as possible.
