Recent drilling at the Omai Gold Project is continuing to deliver strong gold intercepts, with company officials now pointing to growing confidence in the scale and quality of the deposit as preparations advance for the project’s next development stage.Omai Gold Mines Corp., in its latest update, reported multiple high-grade gold intersections across the Wenot deposit, including 7.74 grammes per tonne (g/t) over 13.5 metres and 6.30 g/t over 9.8 metres from recent drill holes. The company said all eight new drill holes intersected several zones of gold mineralisation, reinforcing the continuity of the system and supporting efforts to upgrade the resource.President and CEO Elaine Ellingham noted that the results are steadily building confidence in the asset. “As these drill results continue to add to the confidence in Omai as a Tier 1 gold asset, we are advancing many aspects of work towards the next stages for the project,” she said. With drilling continuing to expand and define the deposit, the company is now moving closer to key milestones, including an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).Ellingham explained that the updated resource estimate is expected shortly, while the economic study is likely to follow within months. She added that preparatory work for more advanced studies is already underway, including metallurgical testing and permitting.At the same time, drilling remains aggressive, with five rigs currently operating at Wenot and additional rigs set to test new targets.The latest results highlight both high-grade intervals and wider zones of mineralisation across multiple sections of the deposit.At Central Wenot, drilling confirmed the depth continuity of gold-bearing zones, including visible gold associated with quartz veining and shear structures. In West Wenot, results showed strong mineralisation in both shallow and deeper zones, while East Wenot drilling continues to close gaps in previously tested areas.In one notable result, a drill hole intersected more than 69 metres of gold mineralisation within a broader interval, suggesting significant continuity within sediment-hosted zones. According to the company, these findings are helping to define the geometry of the deposit more clearly, particularly within the “Dike Corridor,” which continues to show consistent mineralisation.Beyond expanding known zones, Omai Gold is also stepping into new exploration areas.One drill rig is being deployed to test a geophysical anomaly known as the “Handle,” a magnetic feature trending northeast from the Wenot deposit. The company believes this structure could represent an extension of mineralisation trends already identified.The Omai project, located in Guyana’s gold-rich Guiana Shield, already hosts a substantial resource base. Previous estimates place total gold resources in the millions of ounces across the Wenot and nearby Gilt deposits. The site itself is historically significant, having produced over 3.7 million ounces of gold between 1993 and 2005.With continued drilling success and new targets being tested, the company is positioning the project for further growth, while moving steadily toward feasibility studies and potential future production.For now, the latest results suggest that Omai’s gold system is not only holding up, but continuing to expand.
