Gold rush in Guyana

Nation: Guyana National Day:

"Guyana re-discovers El Dorado" is the key phrase of this exhibition in the joint presentation of the Caribbean nations. Guyana, as well as Surinam, is a continental CARICOM nation that is displaying its experience in gold prospecting. Visitors will find themselves in a rain forest decorated with pictures and primeval plants. Out of the forest they will hear animal sounds. Visitors will be invited to explore the forest and to search among the roots for gold, jewellery and coins - or even a barrel of rum. Those who would like to know more can view the documentation about the industrial processes related to gold production.
