Four bodies have reportedly been retrieved from a galamsey pit at Patransa in the Asante Akyem Central Municipality in the Ashanti Region.
The illegal mining pit was said to have collapsed on Sunday night killing small-scale miners who were working underground at the time.
On Monday morning, personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service, Ghana Police Service, National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and the military, were at the site to restore order.
The latest accident comes a few weeks after 22 miners were declared dead after having been trapped for days in a collapsed pit at Prestea.
