Your laptop probably has more gold in it than your phone.

A smartphone contains roughly 0.034 grams of gold. A desktop computer motherboard? Up to 0.15 grams. A server motherboard used in data centres? Up to 1 full gram of gold.

As the world builds more data centres, AI systems, and high-end electronics, demand for gold in technology keeps growing, and it's not a trend that's slowing down.

Guyana's gold is literally powering the digital world.

The 4 C's of Diamonds: Cut, Colour, Clarity, Carat.

These four criteria are the global standard for evaluating every diamond, from the ones sold in jewellery stores in New York to the ones coming out of Guyana's rivers.

Guyana's diamonds are primarily alluvial, natural and unenhanced. They enter international markets assessed by the same standards as every other diamond on earth.

Which of the 4 C's do you think matters most?

Every claim that looked impossible, every season that looked like a write-off; every problem that looked unsolvable until someone in Guyana went and solved it anyway...

That's the spirit of this industry.

What's one thing in your operation you solved this year that seemed impossible at the start?

Mining History Spotlight: El Dorado was real, and it was Guyana!

In the 16th century, European explorers heard stories of a golden king, El Dorado, who ruled a city of gold called Manoa somewhere in the Guianas.

They searched for it for centuries and never found the city.

But the gold? That was real.
By 1887, Guyana's gold rush was drawing miners from around the world. Crowds flooded in chasing what explorers had spent 300 years trying to find.

It turned out El Dorado wasn't a myth; it was just waiting for the right people to find it.

June's Birthstone, three for one: Pearl, Alexandrite & Moonstone!

Most months get one birthstone. June gets three, because June people apparently couldn't make up their minds!

Our favourite, though, is the Pearl. It is the only gemstone made by a living creature, a mollusc coats an irritant in layers of nacre over years to produce something beautiful.

Basically, a pearl is the result of an oyster having a really bad day and deciding to make something spectacular out of it.

Sound like anyone you know?
