Abstract

The article provides a comparative analysis of Guyana and Venezuela major deposits within the Quartzstone ore field (Guyana). From the northwest to the southeast (from Venezuela to Brazil), more than 10 ore gold deposits are currently known, their total resources (including previous production) exceed 2,600 tons of gold (excluding the Amapari and Salamangoni deposits in Brazil). Almost all of Guyana deposits are confined to the Lower Proterozoic greenstone belts of the Guiana shield identified and explored for the past 15–20 years. The geological features of the largest deposits (Omay, Aurora, Toroparu, Tassawini and Monosi) are presented in the article.
