Access road to Groete Gold Project nears completion

(Kaieteur News) – The 13-kilometre road and bridges being constructed by Canadian miner Gold Port Corporation to provide access to its Groete Gold Copper Project in Guyana are nearing completion.

Gold Port owns 100% of the Groete Gold Project, where exploration began in 2012. Drilling in 2019 identified an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.57 million gold-copper equivalent ounces, including about 1.1 million ounces of gold and 195 million pounds of copper contained in 74 million tonnes.

The project is located 64 kilometres west-southwest of Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, and 11 kilometres west of the Essequibo River. In a recent statement, Gold Port disclosed that construction of the Groete Gold Copper Project access road from the Manaka Road on the east bank of the Essequibo River to the project drill site at Groete Creek is progressing as the project continues to advance towards its drilling programme.
