The Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) urges gold miners to declare their gold through authorised channels. GGMC officials say the call is connected to ongoing steps to make gold declaration services easier to access in mining communities across Guyana.

Policy Planning and Coordination Officer Omkar Lochan tells the Department of Public Information (DPI) that measures are in place to bring declaration services closer to miners in the country’s mining districts. The two outlets report the same core message and attribution, focusing on the effort to expand availability of services rather than detailing any specific enforcement actions or changes in regulations.

Overall, the coverage is consistent: GGMC is promoting compliance by encouraging miners to use official declaration processes, while describing service expansion as the immediate context for the appeal.
