The Ministry of Natural Resources will be moving to allocate land at Marudi Mountain, in Region Nine, to small miners from persons who have permits but are not using them as well those who have not paid their fees, Minister Raphael Trotman announced on Wednesday.
Trotman made the announcement at a community meeting at Lethem, Region Nine, after several miners raised the issue.
The move is part of a bid by the ministry to broker a solution between the South Rupununi miners and Romanex Guyana Incorporated over mining at Marudi Mountain.
