The Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA) is calling on gold miners to ramp up production and redouble their efforts to reach the 2024 annual production target of 500,000 ounces.
In a statement yesterday, the GGDMA said that gold mining remains a major source of foreign exchange earnings for the Guyana economy and all efforts must be made to drive up expansion and production.
It said that recent calls by a partisan group for the “shutting down of mining activities at Marudi Mountain” is preposterous and nonsensical.
