REGIONAL GEOLOGICAL SETTING Ianna Gold Project lies within the Guiana Shield, a

palaeo-Proterozoic granite-greenstone terrane (2.2by) forming the northern part of the Amazon craton.

Guyana’s primary gold deposits are commonly found near:o the margins of granitoids stocks that intruded

the greenstone belts. o Fault/shear zones within the greenstone belts

are also potential areas of gold deposits.
