The Guyana Geology and Mines Commission has announced that it will stop accepting applications for Licences to Trade in Gold, Valuable Minerals and Precious Stones after May 31, 2026, placing interested traders and businesses on notice to submit applications before the deadline expires.
In a public notice issued by Commissioner Newell Dennison, the Commission said all applications must be submitted to its headquarters at High and Princes Streets, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, before the cut off date.
The notice applies to individuals and businesses seeking licences to legally trade in gold, valuable minerals and precious stones in Guyana.
The move comes as Guyana’s mining and gold trading sectors continue to attract growing interest amid heightened economic activity and increased movement within the extractive industries.
The Commission did not immediately state whether the temporary halt in accepting applications is linked to administrative restructuring, regulatory review, or licensing adjustments. However, the announcement signals that prospective traders now face a narrow window to regularise or secure approval for operations tied to the country’s lucrative minerals sector.
Interested parties are being urged to submit their applications directly to the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission before the May 31 deadline.
