A single visible surface outcrop represents a 3 km long and 100-300 m wide gabbro dyke. This single outcrop, estimated at over 10 million tons, represents only a small part of the overall resource.
Commitment to EnvironmentMajor quarry has prepared an Environment Management Plan (EMP) , a long-term plan for managing all the identified potential health, safety and environmental risks/ impacts associated with the proposed operations of the quarry. This EMP has been approved as part of the issuance of a Mining Permit by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC).

A granite formation over 40 meters high is estimated, on a preliminary basis, to contain over twenty-five million (25M) tons of recoverable material.
About GuyanaThe only English speaking country in South America, Guyana lies on the Northeast coast bordered by Brazil, Suriname and Venezuela. Guyana has a landmass of 83,000 square miles with a small population of 783.6 thousand. It is anticipated that the economy will be transformed into a regional growth engine due to the commercialization of the world-class Liza oil field discovery. As a result of these economic tailwinds, the domestic demand for aggregates for infrastructure and construction projects is expected to grow significantly in the near to medium term.
