| As Guyana continues to cash in on high gold prices, Government says that it is constructing 11 new mining stations across the country.Additionally, it has acquired 15 mobile camps for monitoring officers and will be deploying these.According to the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment, its mining agency, the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), is currently expanding its monitoring and compliance of mining operations in the various mining districts to complement the rapid growth of the mining sector.The new mining camps and living quarters will be constructed in the mining districts of Lethem, Bartica, Aranka Aremu, Arau/Eteringbang, Eclipse Falls, Kamwatta and Kaburi.The Ministry also said that it will be increasing the number of monitoring and compliance staff on the ground.“Further, 15 mobile mining camps have been acquired and deployments have already commenced to areas such as Issano and various parts of the Northwest District, while areas such as Arrow, Cuyuni River and Olive Creek and Mazaruni among others are being targeted to boost monitoring and compliance.”Over the years, a shortage of resources, including personnel and equipment, had made it difficult for GGMC to effectively monitor the hinterland’s gold districts, leading to smuggling, under-declaration and host of other infringements.Natural resources management of the country, including mining and forestry, has now been placed under one Ministry…the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment.Last year, gold mining activities saw export earnings for that sector racking up US$700M as world prices remain high. |
