Not only are the Brazilians bypassing the established procedures to acquire mining lands, they are also in many cases employing fewer or no Guyanese.The situation is a serious one with more and more small miners being displaced.The complaints of Chan came Friday as miners, feeling threatened from a proposal that will mandate them to give a six-months notice to authorities before they start operations, held a special meeting at the GGDMA office on North Road. |
