Critical Resources begins reviews of two Suriname gold projects
Critical Resources has sent management to Suriname to review two gold projects, Gonini and Greenstars.
The projects cover 199 square kilometres of granted mining rights in the country’s Guiana Shield.
The company says it will hold a 90 per cent interest once the deals are completed.
Its team is meeting vendors, local communities and officials while preparing a field crew.
It has also hired consultants to study geological structures at the projects and across a wider area.
Suriname is a major gold producer, and gold generated about 80 per cent of its exports in 2024.
Critical Resources says it plans to start field programs once the conditions for its new tenure are satisfied.
