Small-scale mining is the backbone of Guyana's gold sector.

According to EITI Guyana, the artisanal and small-scale gold mining sector accounts for approximately 88% of Guyana's gold production, and it's fully legalised, which is a rare distinction globally.

It employs over 15,000 people directly across the hinterland, and unlike most countries where small-scale mining operates in legal grey areas, Guyana's miners operate under the Mining Act of 1989 with proper licensing.

This is the sector GGDMA was built to support and represent.

If you work in small-scale mining, drop a comment and tell us what region you're from!

Happy International Day of Women in Mining!
