The area is extremely rich in forest, water and mineral resources. Huge deposits of iron ore are known. Manganese deposits are found in north-west Guyana, while gold and diamonds, among other minerals, are found in the Barima, Mazaruni, Cuyuni and Potaro areas.
The Imataka mountains separate the Barama River system from the Cuyuni.[1] The mountains are also the source of the Barama river.[2]
