Why Guyana

01

Proven geology

The Guiana Shield hosts multi-million-ounce deposits within Paleoproterozoic greenstone belts.

  • The Guiana Shield is a Precambrian craton spanning Guyana, Venezuela, Suriname, French Guiana and northern Brazil.
  • Its Paleoproterozoic greenstone belts correlate with West Africa's Birimian belts, home to some of the world's largest gold districts.
  • Guyana hosts producing mines such as Aurora and advanced projects including Toroparu and the historic Omai mine.
  • Large areas remain under-explored due to dense forest cover, offering room for new discoveries.
02

Stable jurisdiction

English-speaking, common-law country with an established mining code and Commonwealth ties to Canada.

  • English-speaking parliamentary democracy with a common-law legal system familiar to Canadian investors.
  • Mining is governed by the Mining Act (1989) and administered by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC).
  • Member of the Commonwealth and host of the CARICOM Secretariat in Georgetown.
  • Several Canadian-listed companies already operate and explore in the country.
03

Growing economy

One of the world's fastest growing economies, with expanding infrastructure and access.

  • Offshore oil production since 2019 has made Guyana one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
  • New revenue is funding roads, bridges, power and ports that improve access to the interior.
  • Upgrades such as the Linden–Lethem road corridor are opening up prospective gold regions.
  • A growing skilled workforce and local service sector support exploration activity.
