GGDMA begins national outreach for more gold declarations, malaria awareness

GGDMA President Patrick Harding addressing the first outreach meeting the Association held this year.

The Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners’ Association (GGDMA) has launched a countrywide outreach programme as part of its push for higher gold declarations and to increase awareness about malaria in mining districts.

The initiative follows last year’s almost record high gold production and the GGDMA’s stated intention to surpass the 12-year-old target set during the operation of Omai Gold Mines.

The first outreach meeting was held at Charity, Essequibo Coast,
