-Miners will not be granted a third extension – GGMC Head ?Yesterday,Authentic Adidas Hockey Jerseys China, a group of miners who have been operating in the OMAI area at a place called Boneyard, protested the office of the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), calling on the entity to grant them a fourth extension to mine in the area.But the GGMC Head, Ms. Karen Livan has announced that no extension will be granted for three main reasons.

A geologist was sent immediately to the nearby area of North Kumaka to identify suitable ground but the Kumaka Syndicate did not consider this to be of interest to them.The group then approached the then President Bharrat Jagdeo seeking permission to work the Boneyard area. According to GGMC, the former President had referred the group to the Prime Minister, who consented, on compassionate grounds, to allow the 24 miners to mine for a three months period which was to end on August 13, 2011. Meanwhile, the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission prepared the land by cutting boundary lines and numbering 24 parcels of mining lands in the Kaburi area and allocated these by lottery to the original 24 miners.

Further, Ms. Livan said that there will be no extension and already her officers are on the ground and the necessary will be done along with the police to have the miners removed.
