BARRY KEVIN O'ROURKE

Reputable mining executive Barry Kevin O'Rourke leads a mining company in mineral-rich Guyana, where mining is one of the most stable industries. In fact, gold-based products, such as pure gold and platinum-plated gold, make up over 40 percent of Guyana's export portfolio, and roughly 86,000 workers were either directly or indirectly employed by the country's gold-mining industry.
