Logistics Superintendent

Our Profile

In 2020, G Mining Ventures (GMIN) was created to acquire direct ownership of projects and capitalize on the value uplift that successful mine development offers. In July 2024, GMIN acquired the Oko West project. The Oko West Project is a new gold discovery in northwest Guyana. It is located south of the historical “Oko” gold district, some 95 km west of Georgetown.

Logistics Superintendent

The Logistics Superintendent will lead and coordinate all logistics and support operations for the Oko West Project, ensuring the safe, efficient, and reliable movement of materials, equipment, and personnel between Georgetown and the mine site.
