About Orezone Gold Corp.

Orezone Gold is a Canadian mining company operating the open-pit Bombore gold mine in Burkina Faso.

Orezone is focusing on mining and processing the phase I near-surface free-dig oxides at a planned annual throughput of 5.2 million tonnes. The company believes that Bombore has a significant underlying sulphide resource to support a substantially larger phase II expansion. The company has recently completed a resource definition drill program, and plans to issue an updated mineral resource, reserve and life of mine plan, as part of this phase II expansion. It is expected that the pending study will be completed in Q3 2023 to be followed by a production decision.

Orezone is led by an experienced team focused on social responsibility and sustainability with a proven record in project construction and operations, financings, capital markets, and mergers and acquisitions.

The technical report for the 2019 feasibility study on the Bombore project entitled "National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report (Amended) Feasibility Study of the Bombore Gold Project" is available on SEDAR under the company's profile on SEDAR.
