Reunion Gold Announces the Signing of a Mineral Agreement With the Government of Guyana for Its Oko West Project
18 Abril 2024 - 9:41AM
Reunion Gold Corporation (TSXV: RGD; OTCQX: RGDFF) (the “Company”)
is pleased to announce that it has signed a Mineral Agreement with
the Cooperative Republic of Guyana and the Guyana Geology and Mines
Commission. The Mineral Agreement provides the Company and its
100%-owned Guyanese subsidiary with stable fiscal and operating
conditions during the life of the Oko West gold project. The terms
in the agreement are consistent with current standard terms
established by the country.
Rick Howes, President and CEO of Reunion Gold,
stated “I am pleased to have executed our Mineral Agreement with
the Government of Guyana. This significant milestone marks an
important de-risking step towards the development of the Oko West
Project and underscores the robust support extended by the
Government of Guyana towards the project's development.”
As part of the agreement, the Company has
committed to prioritizing the employment of qualified and suitable
Guyanese individuals and to supplement this by implementing a
comprehensive training program to develop the additional skills
required to facilitate the employment of Guyanese personnel at all
levels of operations. The Company believes that fostering and
training local talent will contribute to the sustainable
development of the country.
In addition to its commitment to workforce
development, the Company has agreed to establish a financial
support program for environmental and social projects. The Company
will fund US$1,000,000 per year towards initiatives that promote
environmental sustainability and address social needs within
surrounding communities. This commitment will start upon
commencement of commercial production or within 24 months from the
issuance of a mining license, whichever would come first.
All of these initiatives highlight the Company's
dedication to sustainable mining development, which minimizes
environmental impacts, positively impacts the communities we work
in and creates lasting benefits for Guyana.
The Company is moving forward with development
studies to advance Oko West towards a construction decision. As
part of this work, it expects to complete a preliminary economic
assessment by mid-2024, which will provide an estimate of the key
economic parameters of the project.
