Dear Editor,
The mining syndicates would like to thank the President of Guyana, the Natural Resources Minister and the Minister within the Natural Resources Ministry for trying to create initiatives to improve the livelihood of small miners in Guyana.
We would like to thank the Finance Minister for committing to work with us smaller miners in our pursuit to become tax compliant, while extending us the concessions that larger miners in the industry receive.
We thank Minister Broomes and Mr Statia for making time to meet with us, to explain to us the tax measures and address the concerns of small miners.
Mining is our business, this is all we know and this is how we support ourselves and our families. We thank the Government of Guyana and in particular the Natural Resources Ministry for the mining syndicate initiative, through which us smaller miners can now get access to mining lands.
We will work with the Government to become tax compliant, we will adhere to the mining rules and we will mine responsibly so as to protect our environment.
Thanks for publishing our letter madam Editor.
Kind Regards,
Garfield Wint
