As Guyana’s gold mining industry assumes an increasingly prominent role in the growth and development of the country’s economy, government continues to seek ways of accessing knowledge and technology available through participation in international fora. A decision was therefore taken to send a delegation to China’s Third Annual Gold Mining Technology Forum being held in the country’s Shandong Province from August 27 – 30, Minister in the Ministry of Natural Resources Simona Broomes has told the Stabroek Business.
Broomes, who has been assigned to head the Guyana delegation, which will include technical officers from the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) told this newspaper that the focus will be on seeking to ensure that the delegation’s participation has a direct bearing on how the forum can assist in the advancement of the country’s gold-mining sector.
