About Orezone Gold Corp.

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

Orezone is focused on mining and processing the phase 1, 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 2 expansion. The company recently completed a resource definition drill program, and it plans to issue an updated mineral resource, reserve and life-of-mine plan as part of this phase 2 expansion. It is expected that the pending study will be completed in the third quarter of 2023 and 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.
