In Guyana, legal gold panning to chase away illegals, a good idea?. Emmanuel Macron spoke out in favor of a “legal gold panting” sector in Guyana ‘in certain places’ to fight against the gold rush.
The idea? “Structure a sector that does not use mercury, which is exemplary in this area’. Occupying the richest veins could, according to him, avoid “attracting illegal gold miners there” or at least “reducing their activity”.
