Authorities shut down six illegal mining operations in the Mazaruni Mining District in Guyana’s Region Seven on Tuesday as part of an ongoing crackdown on unlawful mining. The Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), using its Corps of Wardens, carries out the enforcement with support through the Natural Resources Ministry, according to reports from both outlets. In total, 38 people are arrested following the operations being stopped. The action takes place in the Mazaruni area of Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), after authorities receive reports tied to illegal mining activity in the district. While details vary in the excerpts, both sources describe the same core sequence: GGMC conducts a field enforcement exercise, shuts down six illegal mining sites, and detains individuals found in connection with the activities. Both also reference the seizure of mining-related equipment as part of the shutdown. The reports present the measure as part of continued government efforts to deter illegal mining and enforce relevant regulations in the region.
