Omai Gold Drills 8.54g/t Au over 20.6m at Northeast Wenot and Commences Deep Hole on Gilt Deposit
Toronto, Ontario – (June 1, 2026) – Omai Gold Mines Corp. (TSXV: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF) (“Omai Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from eight additional diamond drill holes and four related wedged holes, from the current 50,000m drilling program at its 100% owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana, South America.
Five rigs continue drilling at Omai. One drill has commenced drilling on a planned deep hole to test the depth extension of the Gilt Deposit.
Assay results are reported for eight holes collared across a 450m strike along the northeastern area of the Wenot shear-hosted deposit. Four additional holes reported were wedged for more targeted drilling. Wenot is one of the two orogenic gold deposits on the Omai property.
These reported holes, collared further to the north, were designed to explore a series of apparent splays off of the northern side of the broad Wenot east-west shear corridor, and also to test for the down-dip extensions of the Dike Corridor gold zones.
All of these holes were drilled to the south, testing the northern splays, then the gold zones within the prolific Dike Corridor. All but one hole continued further south to provide a deeper cut of the Dike Corridor, test the central contact with the Central Quartz Feldspar Porphyry zone (CQFP) and continue into the southern sedimentary sequence.
The best results from the northern splays included 4.77 g/t Au over 6.6m, 18.11 g/t Au over 1.5m, and 3.49 g/t Au over 16.9m (in the upper part of hole 173 previously reported), these all being above a 210m vertical depth and as far as 300m north of the CQFP.
The best assays within the Dike Corridor included 8.54 g/t Au over 20.6m, 5.79 g/t Au over 7.7m, 14.07 g/t Au over 2.3m and 4.77 g/t Au over 6.6m. Most holes extended the Dike Corridor zones at least 50-75m downdip.
Assays returned from the CQFP zone included 3.43 g/t Au over 12.25m and 2.54 g/t Au over 8.8m. One zone further into the southern sediments ran 7.48 g/t Au over 2.92m.
These results continue to confirm the continuity and robustness of the main gold zones at Wenot, as well as extending these northeastern splays that would fall within the proposed pit.

• Hole 26ODD-173W
o 2.63 g/t Au over 11.5m
o 3.68 g/t Au over 8.1m
o 2.62 g/t Au over 13.1m
o 5.79 g/t Au over 7.7m
o Including 11.49 g/t Au over 3.6m

Elaine Ellingham, President & CEO commented:
“The 50,000m drill program at Omai is advancing quickly with the five drills turning. To date this year, 23,685m has been drilled.
“The results of these twelve holes reported today is again a positive for Wenot. They explored the potential of a series of splays we had encountered in a few holes on the under-drilled northeastern flank of the Wenot deposit.
“These holes confirm the strike extension of these shallow zones that fall within the proposed pit area, but are far outside the area of historical mining.
“These holes were continued to the south, intersecting the main Wenot gold zones, the most impressive being 8.54 g/t Au over 20.6m that included two high grade intervals: 25.89 g/t Au over 2.5m and 13.42 g/t Au over 5.8m within an interval of felsic dikes and breccia within the Dike Corridor roughly 60m north of the central contact porphyry.
“Multiple impressive drill intersections in the Dike Corridor continue to speak to the ongoing strength of this project. Further east of this area remains under-explored.
“We were on-site at Omai last week for the commencement of the deep hole into the Gilt Deposit. A newly arrived drill with rod-pulling-assist will allow this hole, targeting a 1200m+ depth, to advance more quickly.
“Work continues to progress on the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) with an estimated 6- to 8-week timeframe. The new mine plan will integrate both the Wenot deposit and the adjacent intrusion hosted Gilt Deposit.”
