Gold X Mining, (formerly Sandspring Resources[3]) has plans develop three open-pit mines with a mine life of 22 years (per 2019 estimate) with possible mining of copper and silver. The company has invested more than US$150 million to discover and delineate its gold mineral resources,[4] as well as to complete engineering and environmental studies, including a 225 km road from Georgetown to make the mine accessible completed in 2003.[5] The company has a Memorandum of Understanding with the government of Guyana for plans to develop a hydropower plant at the Kumarau Falls on the Kurupung River.[6][7]

The company anticipates the government of Guyana will issue their mining license in 2021 after a final feasibility study.[8]
