The miners association yesterday expressed full support for the government’s warning on Monday about unlawful gold trading and said it will not defend any person found to be legally culpable for such misconduct.
In a statement yesterday, the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA) said that it is in full solidarity with Government’s statement of October 23rd regarding the eradication of the unlawful trading of gold.
The GGDMA noted that in August 2023, it issued a statement calling for the complete removal of illegal buyers, sellers and illegal operators in the gold sector; for them to be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law and completely removed from the mining sector of Guyana.
