Omai Gold Mines (OMG) has appointed Dwight Walker as the company’s Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately.

Walker is a CPA with over 30 years experience in finance and administration. He has served as the chief financial officer of several public companies in the mining sector. Walker is the former CFO of ECU Silver Mining Inc., an emerging Mexico-based silver producer. 

The company has granted incentive stock options to Walker to purchase up to 300,000 common shares of the company at $0.085 per share for a five-year term.

Elaine Ellingham, Chief Executive Officer of Omai Gold, commented on the appointment.

“We are pleased to welcome Mr. Walker to our team. He joins Omai Gold at an exciting time as we move forward towards our second NI 43-101 in less than a year. We announced a maiden resource for the new Wenot deposit at the beginning of this year. After completing our review and modelling of the adjacent Fennell historic resource, originally prepared by Iamgold in 2007, we have engaged P&E Mining Consultants Inc. as QP to complete an updated Fennell Mineral Resource Estimate. This report will include an update to the Wenot Mineral Resource Estimate.”

Omai Gold is a mineral exploration company, located in Guyana, on the North coast of South America. The mine has two open pits: the Fennell pit and the Wenot pit. Its other project is Grenfell Property.

The company’s short-term priorities are to build on the known Mineral Resources, while advancing exploration on key targets.  

Omai Gold Mines Corp. (OMG) is down 6.25 per cent, trading at C$0.075 per share at 1:23 pm ET.
