The Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA) yesterday called upon operators to stop overloading their trucks.
This is critical especially in the rainy season, it said in a statement yesterday.
“When the roads become deplorable there is more downtime and hence increased … operation cost to miners and other hinterland road users, who now have to pay double to have their fuel and other supplies delivered to their camps. Additionally, many of our miners’ trucks and other equipment are being severely damaged due to these deplorable roads. This once again puts additional financial pressure on the miner as unnecessary maintenance cost”, the statement said.
