There are no specific regulations stipulating the preservation of a site after a mining accident, according to acting Commissioner of the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) Newell Dennison.
Dennison made this disclosure while being questioned by Rear Admiral (retired) Gary Best, who is leading the Commission of Inquiry into the recent death of miner Keon Wilson.
Wilson, 33, was killed around 4.30 pm on October 8, when a mining pit he and others were working in collapsed, causing him to be buried by mud.
