Having taken control of the lands and assets of the Australian company which left its Region Seven mining site without notice and owing royalties to the state, the Government of Guyana yesterday said it has begun distributing small claims to local miners.
Minister of Natural Re-sources Vickram Bharrat yesterday announced that so far some 50 local miners have been given small claims on the site with others pending soon.
In addition, sources say that the power generation plants on the Troy Resources Inc facility at Karouni will now be moved to the Onverwagt Power Station for use while other assets such as the gold processing mill and machinery remaining will be sold to recoup some of the funds owned.
