One outcome was Accepted 9 May 2016 the acquisition of over 75% of small-scale and over 40% of medium-scale concessions by a small number Available online 15 June 2016 of nationals. Landlordism expanded following the spike in the international gold price from 2006. The State’s failure to modify the poorly construed mining law, and to enforce the Regulations, enables the Keywords: continued capture of the excess rent from gold sales by rentiers without commensurate responsibility for Guyana them to remedy the environmental degradation. Evidence of financial losses to the State from the renting Gold mining of concessions and the smuggling of gold is presented. The legal protections of Indigenous Peoples are not Concessions enforced. The legal protections of mining workers are inadequate. We recommend: making the mining Rentier practices Governance licence holder legally responsible for ensuring compliance with all Regulations on every concession; the implementation of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) to safeguard Indigenous rights in both titled and customary territories; the capture of excess rent from gold sales for a sovereign wealth fund; and full transparency so as to end insider trading in concessions.
