AGP Executive Report
Last update: 30 minutes agoCyanide Crackdown: Suriname police intercepted a shipment of more than two tonnes of suspected cyanide at the Burnside checkpoint in Coronie, believed to have been illegally brought in from Guyana and headed for Paramaribo; several people were arrested and authorities are still confirming the exact product type, origin, destination, and whether import/transport permits were in place—an urgent reminder of the risks cyanide poses to people and the environment, especially for gold mining. Border Transport Disruption: The suspension of the M.V. Canawaima ferry is still disrupting travel and trade between Guyana and Suriname; while officials say they’re coordinating on a restart and temporary small-boat routes are permitted, reports say Surinamese authorities have stopped some boats from operating due to licensing gaps, raising safety concerns as passenger loads grow. Regional Energy Signals: ExxonMobil’s return to Trinidad and Tobago is gaining momentum, with seismic results for Block TTUD-1 expected by end of August after a 3D survey across about 6,000 sq km in ultra-deep water—another sign of renewed offshore exploration activity across the wider Guiana-Caribbean energy corridor. Gold Deal Momentum: Centurion Minerals signed an LOI to acquire an 80% interest in the Brothers Gold Project in eastern Suriname, adding to the steady flow of exploration-and-development moves in the country’s gold belt.
