UNITED States-based gold mining company Ensurge Inc., which has been engaged in exploring and developing gold mining opportunities in Guyana, commenced mining operations in the Mazaruni Mining District last week.

Ensurge had announced the majority acquisition of TransGlobal Gold Corp., another US-based company that was preparing to mine approximately 2500 acres near the Mazaruni River in May of this year.
EnsurgeInc has also acquired land dredging equipment, which is to be deployed on the property. Earlier this month, Ensurge Inc. announced that two land dredges had arrived at the company’s mine location on the Mazaruni River.
Chad Mishleau, the Guyana Operations Manager for TransGlobal, now a subsidiary of Ensurge Inc, said, “With very little capital, we have secured our mining property, prepared the camp for workers, transported earth-moving equipment, and now have two dredges on site. Everyone is excited to commence production.”
Operations will include either land or river dredging operations.
The primary focus of Ensurge Inc. is to recover gold from existing tailings, improve recoveries of existing milling operations, and improve mining operations. The company’s small-scale commercial gold recovery equipment is capable of processing up to 15 tonnes per hour.
Jeff Hanks, CFO of Ensurge, recently said, “We have proven that the equipment works for processing material to recover gold and diamonds. We now have the opportunity to deploy it at a mine site. This opportunity allows us to utilise assets in Guyana while we continue to focus on developing large-scale operations in Brazil.
“This acquisition of TransGlobal signals our strategic movement into land dredging operations in Guyana.
