Canadian-based mineral exploration company, Guyana Goldfields Inc., is focused primarily on the exploration and development of gold deposits in the Guiana Shield of South America. The Guiana Shield is in the northern part of the Amazon Craton and covers parts of Guyana, Venezuela, Suriname, French Guyana and northern Brazil.
The Company holds advanced exploration projects in various stages of development and has been operating in Guyana continuously since 1996. The Company's focus is on maintaining its interest in the Aurora and Aranka Properties thereby continually conducting exploration and development work.
Effective January 28, 2009, Guyana Goldfields acquired Aranka (formerly TSX.V: ARK). This arrangement consolidates the property interests of both companies in Guyana. The Aranka property consists 19 contiguous prospecting licenses covering over 307,589 acres, located 19 miles north east of the Aurora Base Camp. The company has designated several new zones of interest in this area for further exploration.
