Opportunities Overview

  • Geologically, approximately 36% (76,600 sq.km) of Guyana encompasses highly mineralized crust, the Greenstone Belts.
  • Most of the small, medium and large-scale mining operations exist within this terrain which structurally trends NW-SE.
  • Majority of the alluvial Diamond and Gold mining operations exist within the Roraima Formation which covers approximately 12% of Guyana (26,520 sq.km).
  • The Roraima Formation is predominantly fluviatile sandstones and conglomerates of middle Proterozoic age.
