Elaine Ellingham, President & CEO commented,
“We are pleased to be delivering yet another very substantial increase to the Mineral Resource Estimate for our Omai Gold Project in Guyana.
“This reinforces Omai’s position as the largest gold project in Guyana.
“Omai’s unique road access and location just ten kilometres from Guyana’s main road that connects to the two largest towns in Guyana and to northern Brazil, will continue to simplify logistics as the project advances.
“Omai’s legacy benefits include an on-site airstrip, a cleared site, known metallurgical recoveries, and established tailings sites.
“In addition to these unique advantages for developing a large-scale gold deposit, Guyana is proving to be a favourable jurisdiction for permitting with Government and communities’ support for large-scale mine development.
“This, our 5th Mineral Resource Estimate, again reinforces the potential for large-scale mine redevelopment at Omai. The Omai team’s dedication has continued to deliver superior value creation for all stakeholders.
“With each successive milestone it becomes even clearer that Omai has the potential to be a multi-decade large-scale gold mining operation.
“Notwithstanding this large gold Mineral Resource Estimate, we still see very significant potential to further expand the gold mineralization at both the Wenot and the Gilt Deposits. Both are open to depth and the deep hole drilled under Wenot in 2025 (25ODD-122W) established the presence of the Wenot shear (hosting 7 gold zones) a full 700 m below the known Wenot deposit.
“A 50,000 m drill program has commenced with five drills turning. Our next major catalyst is the Preliminary Economic Assessment (”PEA”), expected to be completed in 2 to 3 months.
“We are continuing to aggressively drill to increase the Mineral Resources and to upgrade the Inferred Resources, as we set our sights on a future Prefeasibility or Feasibility Study. Drilling is now focused on the Wenot deposit and on certain nearby targets.”
