Description Guys (and gals) at Guyana Goldfields are searching for gold in the English-speaking South American country of Guyana. The company has rights to explore 110,000 acres in northern Guyana, where gold was discovered in 1911. In 2009 Guyana Goldfields acquired Aranka Gold, which came with almost 80,000 acres of land to explore in the same area. None of its properties are in production.
