Omai Gold Mines, which has initiated a 5,000-meter drilling program at Wenot mine in Region Seven, has announced the presence of high-grade gold in the first two holes extending at least 100 meters below.
The announcement was made by Omai Gold Mines in a statement Wednesday, and follows promises from the company last year that it would conduct its drilling campaign in early 2021.
According to Omai, its current drilling program is focused on expanding Wenot’s open potential, which has produced 1.8 million ounces of gold up to a depth of 190 meters.
Omai Gold Mines CEO Mario Stifano was quoted as saying: “We are pleased with our assay results from the first two holes we drilled in Omai, which complements the assay results we announced this month February.
“These results show that the extent and thickness of gold mineralization remains at least 100 to 150 meters below the historically produced Wenot Pond, and remains exposed to depth and on strike. We look forward to updating our stakeholders with further results from our 5,000 meter drilling program in the coming months, ”he added.

The company had said it was able to use historical drilling data to find “significant” gold concentrations within and below Toroparu’s main resource pool. According to the company, access to these gold structures is likely to be through shallow and underground mining.
Gold X CEO Paul Matysek had said at the time that the drill test results exceeded the company’s expectations and would underpin their phase 2 diamond drilling program. drilling program available by the second quarter of 2021.
In November last year, the Australian mining company Alicanto Minerals announced its first ever gold discovery in Guyana. According to Alicanto, he discovered a pre-marriage resource of 500,000 ounces of gold at his Arakaka gold mine, which is located in Region One.
