progress in engineering, procurement, and site infrastructure. The company has spent approximately $292 million, with a total of $525 million committed.

Why It's Important?
The advancement of the Oko West project is a positive indicator for G Mining Ventures and the mining industry in Guyana. The project is expected to significantly boost local employment and contribute to the region's economic development. By securing key contracts ahead of inflationary pressures, the company has managed to maintain cost control and reduce schedule risks. The successful execution of this project could position G Mining Ventures as a leading mid-tier precious metals producer, enhancing its market presence and shareholder value.
What's Next?
As the project progresses, G Mining Ventures will focus on completing detailed engineering and procurement, with major components scheduled for delivery in mid-2026. The company plans to continue expanding its workforce and infrastructure to support ongoing construction and future operations. The successful completion of the Oko West project could lead to further exploration and development opportunities in the region, potentially increasing the company's production capacity and market share.
