The Guyana Gold Board (GGB) yesterday sought to assure miners that they didn’t incur losses from the suspected manipulation of loopholes in the agency’s financial systems, which has seen an accountant and another employee sent home as a broad investigation opens.
As has happened in the past at various GGB offices, miners would have expressed concerns that the purity of gold which they submitted to the GGB would have been understated, resulting in them incurring losses.
“[The GGB] and senior management take the opportunity to reassure miners that their assay accounts have not been compromised,” a statement from the Board said yesterday.
