Nothing sinister in syndicate initiative

Syndicate Chairman Renford Solomon

When you ask Renwick Solomon what his views are on the emergence of mining syndicates as a departure from the traditional types of operations that characterizes Guyana’s gold-mining industry he recommends that you talk with the hundreds of other small miners who behave as though they have been given a new lease on their economic lives following the advent of what he loosely calls “mining cooperatives.”

Solomon himself has been involved in gold mining “intermittently” since 2004. Prior to being in mining he worked as a Field Officer with the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission.
