G Mining Ventures Corp. has received the Environmental Permit from Guyana's Environmental Protection Agency for its Oko West Gold Project, authorizing construction and operation through July 2030. The approval follows nearly two years of comprehensive environmental and social studies and a multi-stakeholder review process, marking a significant milestone for the mining company's operations in South America. This regulatory achievement demonstrates the successful navigation of complex environmental assessment processes and underscores the company's commitment to responsible mining practices.
The Oko West Gold Project is projected to create an average of 1,270 direct permanent jobs throughout its operational lifetime, providing substantial economic benefits to the local community and supporting a construction decision expected later this year. This development strengthens G Mining Ventures' partnership with the Government of Guyana, which was recently ranked among the top 10 global mining jurisdictions by the Fraser Institute, highlighting the country's favorable regulatory environment for mining operations. The multi-year authorization provides operational certainty and establishes a framework for sustainable development in the region, aligning with global standards for environmental protection and community engagement in mining operations.
The environmental permit represents a critical step forward for the company's strategic development plans, enabling the progression of one of its key anchor projects alongside the existing TZ Gold Mine in Brazil. Both projects are located in mining-friendly jurisdictions that offer favorable conditions for precious metal extraction and development.
