Miners to submit industry concerns, proposals for president’s consideration

The Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA), the National Mining Syndicate (NMS) and the Guyana Women Miners Organisation (GWMO) are to submit a memorandum containing their concerns about the mining industry and their recommendations to President David Granger for consideration.

This was agreed on Friday when President Granger hosted an interactive business luncheon for members of the three organisations at State House.

According to a statement subsequently issued by the Ministry of the Presidency, Granger, during brief remarks at the event, assured the stakeholders that the government is committed to continuing support for the sustainable development of the sector, and also emphasised the need for their participation in the process.
