Episode Details

Elaine Ellingham, President and CEO of Omai Gold Mines Corp. (TSX.V: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF), joins me for a special video presentation and visual exploration update, with mineralization expanding in the updated Resource Estimate to ~8 million ounces of gold in all categories, from the combined Wenot and Gilt Creek Projects at the Company’s 100%-owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana, South America.  We also discuss the dual path of the company now, split between exploration, and all the project derisking being factored into development and the upcoming updated economic study.

The Omai Gold Property hosts two orogenic gold deposits: the shear-hosted Wenot Deposit and the adjacent, intrusion-hosted Gilt Deposit (Figure 1), with a combined updated MRE (over the August 2025 MRE) of:

• 2,495,000 ounces of gold (Indicated MRE), a 17.6% increase, averaging 2.04 g/t Au in 38.1 Mt and
• 5,465,000 ounces of gold (Inferred MRE), a 24.7% increase, averaging 1.59 g/t Au in 106.6 Mt 

That updated model will then be incorporated into the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), slated for Q3 of 2026; building upon the prior PEA that was released in 2024, which was only on 45% of the mineral inventory focused on the open-pit at Wenot. 

• That prior PEA did not yet include rest of the resources at Wenot or the expanded profile in the updated MRE, nor did it include the underground project economics from the Gilt Creek deposit. 
• The updated PEA slated for next quarter will be more advanced and will factor in the combined economics of the open-pit at Wenot, and the underground at Gilt Creek, representing the value proposition of the total project more accurately.

Multiple zones of gold mineralization were intersected in each of the recent assays from the ongoing 50,000-metre diamond drill program.

*Highlights from the recent drilling include:

• Hole 26ODD-169 – 2.90 g/t Au over 22.9m o Including 9.13 g/t Au over 4.1m o 2.64 g/t Au over 19.2m o Including 4.90 g/t Au over 8.9m
• Hole 26ODD-173 – 3.49 g/t Au over 16.9m o Including 13.21 g/t Au over 1.5m o Including 46.68 g/t Au over 0.6m o 3.86 g/t Au over 23.8m o Including 66.21 g/t Au over 0.8m o Including 28.33 g/t Au over 0.9m
• Hole 26ODD-173W – 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
• Hole 26ODD-180 – 8.54 g/t Au over 20.6m o Including 25.89 g/t Au over 2.5m o Including 13.42 g/t Au over 5.8m o 3.43 g/t Au over 12.3m o Including 5.57 g/t Au over 5.4m
• Hole 26ODD-183 – 2.96 g/t Au over 14.3m o 1.57 g/t Au over 22.5m o Including 3.94 g/t Au over 5.5m
• Hole 26ODD-185 – 7.26 g/t Au over 34.8m o Including 19.94 g/t Au over 2.5m o Including 54.05 g/t Au over 1.5m o Including 9.83 g/t Au over 3.0m o 15.89 g/t Au over 1.9m o 1.71 g/t Au over 14.0m o 2.10 g/t Au over 10.9m o 7.22 g/t Au over 2.4m o 2.28 g/t Au over 6.9m

Next we discussed the favorable results from this first phase of metallurgical testing, and that both Wenot and Gilt are orogenic gold deposits that are responsive to reliable, industrially proven processing technologies and consistent with the historical production results.

• High gold extraction was achieved from testwork with 93% gold (“Au”) extraction at 1.0 g/t Au to 95% Au extraction at 3.2 g/t Au, from a material grind size of 80% passing 75 microns 

Wrapping up we discussed the company valuation compared to peers on a P/NAV basis and price per ounce basis, some of the recent high-profile M&A deals in the sector includingG2 Goldfields in Guyana, the ongoing permitting process work towards the EIA, and other derisking work on the Project, gathering all this data to be utilized in the upcoming PEA.
