President says gold refinery viable

President Irfaan Ali on Monday at the opening of the Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo at the Marriott Hotel said that a gold refinery is viable in Guyana, adding  that there is serious interest in the establishment of one.

Noting that with the cost of energy eventually being lowered  and Guyana “being a golden country in many ways”, Ali said that with “our gold reserve it now makes the gold refinery viable.”

He said  that “we are already seeing great interest in the establishment of a gold refinery here in Guyana, tremendous interest in the establishment of a gold refinery.”
