The Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) suspends operations of an unlicensed gold trading shop at Tamakay Landing in the Mazaruni Mining District. The Ministry of Natural Resources says the GGMC enforcement team identifies the shop trading gold without the required approvals and licences.
During an inspection, the enforcement team seizes a quantity of gold along with equipment and cash associated with the shop’s trading activities. The ministry issues the information in a statement and frames the action as part of GGMC enforcement in the mining district.
The outlets’ accounts largely align on the location, the authority involved, and the core reason for the shutdown—lack of required approvals and licences. Both reports describe the seizure of gold and related assets, with dates slightly presented differently: one report refers to Monday and the other specifies September 28.
