Minister of Natural Re-sources, Raphael Trotman, on March 5, 2017 told a mining conference in Canada that Guyana remains under prospected and steps are being taken to make more data available on mineral rich areas.
He was speaking at the Guyana Day Seminar hosted by the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada in Toronto, a release from his ministry said. He urged those at the conference to join in the responsible exploration of the country.
According to the release, the Minister invited companies to invest for profit and leave behind strong infrastructure, a more professional workforce than that found; practice good environmental behaviour that can be used as a global model; and demonstrate tangible levels of corporate social responsibility. “The principles on which government/ investor relations stand are simple: for us, it must be a mutually beneficial arrangement,” the release quoted Trotman as saying.
