Mining Week slated for Aug. 19-25

Aug 18, 2012 News

 

This year the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) will be observing its annual Mining Week under the theme “Investment and Technological Growth for Sustainability in the Mining Sector.”
The week-long celebration which commences tomorrow (August 19) will conclude next Saturday (August 25) with the annual Porkknocker’s Day Festival at Bartica’s Golden Beach.
The activities kick off tomorrow with a “Mining Week Walk” which will begin at 07:00hrs at the Bank of Guyana Building and end at the Girl Guides Pavilion on Brickdam.
Next in line is a two-day National Mining Fair which will be held tomorrow and Monday at the National Park Tarmac.
GGMC’s Petroleum Division Manager Newell Dennison said the Mining Fair is an annual event which coincides with a conference every two years.
“This year the mining fair will be like any other. The GGMC will be present to highlight accomplishments within the last year, in terms of their projects, and give general educational interface on other things of interest that are geological; things to do with mining and engineering, and with mineral processing among other things.”
Some of the participating firms include Macorp, Crown Mining, Guytrac, Ainlim, Farfan and Mendes.
The event is free of cost and will feature equipment which is currently on the local market.
