Omai Gold Mines Corp.

Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - February 18, 2022 — Omai Gold Mines Corp. (TSXV:OMG) (“Omai Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report dated February 18, 2022 (the “Report”) has been filed on the SEDAR website www.sedar.com in support of the Mineral Resource Estimate announced January 4, 2022 for the Wenot Deposit on its Omai Gold Project in Guyana. The Report was prepared under the supervision of Eugene Puritch, P.Eng., FEC, CET of P&E Mining Consultants Inc., who is independent of the Company and a Qualified Person in accordance with NI 43-101.  

 

On January 4, 2022, the Company issued a news release announcing a Mineral Resource Estimate consisting of:

- 16.7 million tonnes of Indicated Mineral Resources averaging 1.31 grams of gold per tonne for 703,300 gold ounces, and

- 19.5 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources averaging 1.50 grams of gold per tonne for 940,000 gold ounces on the Wenot Deposit.  

Full details are presented in the Report filed on SEDAR and on the Company’s website. To view the 3-D model of the Wenot Deposit go to https://www.omaigoldmines.com/wenot-pit/.

 

The Company believes there is significant potential to further expand this deposit below, adjacent to, and along strike of the area outlined by the Wenot Mineral Resource Estimate in future exploration programs.

 

Trenching and associated sampling and mapping commenced in mid-January on the Blueberry Hill and Snake Pond targets, both located west of the Fennell Pit.  Drilling is scheduled to begin on targets in this area next week. Soon after, the excavator will be deployed to initiate the planned trenching program at Broccoli Hill.

 

Qualified Person

The Mineral Resource Estimate, including verification of the data, was under the supervision of Eugene Puritch, P.Eng., FEC, CET, President of P&E Mining Consultants Inc., who is independent for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this news release.
