In preparation for the massive construction works to be undertaken at its Toroparu mine site, Canadian gold mining company Gran Colombia Mining (GCM) has commenced works on the 235 kilo-metres of access road stretching from Itabali, Cuyuni-Mazaruni, in Region Seven.
“One of the big problems we have here is the condition of the road. That we are trying to fix. You have holes in the road, flooded roads and things like that. We are putting some effort into that right now. We will spend approximately 12 months to get it to a functional standard for us before starting to construct it to an all-weather road where we don’t have to worry about it,” Torben Michalsen, ETK’s construction manager told Sunday Stabroek.
