G Mining Ventures is pressing ahead with work at its Oko West Gold Project in Guyana. The Canadian company has 10 drill rigs currently active on the site in Region Seven, Cuyuni-Mazaruni. President and chief executive Louis-Pierre Gignac summed up the mood in one line: there is no slowing down now. A rig fleet of that size points to the scale the firm has chosen to commit to the deposit. Development work continues as the project moves further along the path from exploration toward a mine. Gignac's comments suggest the company sees no reason to let up on the pace it has set.
