Ministry to seek explanation on reports of burning of mining properties at Quartz Stone

The Ministry of Natural Resources has responded to yet another social media post which targets Minister responsible for youth, Simona Broomes.

In a statement last evening the Ministry refuted claims that it was aware of “dismantling and burning of properties in Quartz Stone, Cuyuni Region 7.”

The post which originated from an online entity claiming to represent the “Guyanese people” claimed that the Government of Guyana, through the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) evicted a number of small businesses on the Quartz Stone landing.
