Guyana Goldfields Inc. is a Canada-based mineral exploration and production company focused on gold assets in Guyana, South America. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, it operates the Aurora Gold Mine, an open-pit operation situated approximately 90 kilometers from the nation’s capital, Georgetown. The company’s core activities include all phases of mine development, from initial exploration and resource estimation through permitting, construction, production and reclamation.
The Aurora Gold Mine comprises four primary open pits—Tapir, Pomeroon, Eagle and Caiman—and an associated processing facility that utilizes crushing, grinding, carbon-in-pulp (CIP) technology and tailings management. Since achieving commercial production in early 2017, the mine has contributed the bulk of the company’s metal output and serves as its flagship asset. Guyana Goldfields also holds exploration licenses covering roughly 455,000 hectares across the Guiana Shield, where ongoing programs aim to extend known mineralization and test new targets along regional trends.
Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Vancouver, Guyana Goldfields initially secured the Aurora concession following successful drilling campaigns in 2009. After establishing a resource base and completing feasibility studies, the company financed construction of an 2.2‐million‐tonne-per-annum processing plant, which commenced operations in early 2017. In January 2020, Guyana Goldfields was acquired by Zijin Mining Group, and its shares trade on the OTC Market under the ticker GUYFF.
Looking ahead, Guyana Goldfields continues to evaluate expansion opportunities at Aurora, including pit deepening, heap leach trials on lower-grade material and extension drilling along strike. The company’s strategy emphasizes disciplined capital deployment, stakeholder engagement in Guyana and leveraging its technical team to unlock additional value from this emerging gold district.
