OMG: Deep Hole Intersects Multiple Gold Zones 700m Below Wenot
What you need to know:
• Omai’s long hole hits multiple zones of mineralization, confirming strong gold grades ~700m below the previously lowest known mineralization at Wenot.
• This result suggests a doubling of the size potential of Wenot, proving to investors (and potential acquirers) that the Omai system can support a very long mine life at a high throughput.
• Drilling continues to accelerate with five drills turning at Wenot and YTD meterage over 30,000m (double the 15,000m originally planned).
• Updated PEA is now planned for H1/26 as a result of the significant expansion to the Wenot deposit. We view this delay as a positive and remind investors that this update will include the Gilt Creek deposit.
• This morning, we interviewed CEO Elaine Ellingham, watch it here.
This morning, Omai Gold Mines (OMG:TSXV, OMGGF:OTC) announced assay results from the deep drill hole (25ODD-122W), which tested the depth potential of the Wenot Deposit at its 100% owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana. After a long wait, we are pleased to say that the hole intersected multiple gold zones ~700m down dip from the bottom of the Wenot deposit. The hole was designed to prove the depth potential at Wenot and the long-term future of this potential operation; Omai was successful in this endeavour. Though this will not be integrated into a resource estimate in the near term, this result suggests a potential doubling of the size scale of Wenot. We view this as a massive win for the Company. We are maintaining our BUY rating and $1.60/share target price on Omai Gold Mines.
