The opposition National Democratic Congress is holding a press conference in reaction to a recent development on illegal mining.

Key among the issues addressed is the Al Jazeera documentary which reveals that over $40 million worth of gold is smuggled out of the country annually.

The NDC is also speaking on the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM) report authored by former Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Prof Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng.

The conference is being held at the party's National Headquarters in Accra.
