GHRA says Persaud misled it on rare earth survey

The Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) yesterday said that if the content of a survey permission for rare earth metals is as reported in the media, then it has been misled by Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Robert Persaud.

In reply to the GHRA just hours after, the ministry said that the information requested had been provided and there was no attempt to mislead. “The Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment wishes to reassure that there is no attempt to mislead the GHRA or anyone as a revelation of the PGGS (Permission for Geological & Geographical Survey)
