Five non-nationals have been detained following an expanded enforcement operation that dismantled an illegal mining operation in the Potaro Mining District.
In an update issued Saturday, September 12, 2026, the Ministry of Natural Resources said the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission’s (GGMC) Corps of Wardens detained four additional non-nationals after widening the area of the initial sweep.
The development follows the ministry’s September 10 report, which announced the dismantling of the operation and the detention of one non-national.
