[{"type":"text","content":"Omai Gold Drills 4.07 g/t Au over 31.1m, 3.38 g/t over 9.6m and 14.21 g/t over 1.8m at WenotToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 22, 2023) - Omai Gold Mines Corp. (TSXV: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF) (\"Omai\" or the \"Company\") announces additional outstanding drill results from the Company's Omai gold project in Guyana. Diamond drilling has focused on exploration targets and on demonstrating the significant expansion potential for the Wenot resource. A total of 3,569 metres (\"m\") have been completed in 11 holes in 2023. Results are reported for hole 23ODD-063, where visible gold was identified in 37 locations along 299 m of core. Highlights for hole 23ODD-063 at Wenot include: 4.07 g/t Au over 31.1 m, 3.38 g/t Au over 9.6 m,14.21 g/t Au over 1.8 m, and3.09 g/t Au over 6.8 m Elaine Ellingham, President & CEO, commented \"These impressive new drill results continue to confirm the magnitude of the Wenot deposit, by demonstrating strike and depth continuity of significant gold mineralization. We have not seen any limitations to the Wenot deposit, and as such are confident that additional drilling can further expand the gold resources. At Wenot, 88% of the NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate lies above a 300 m depth and the few holes that tested below confirm continuity and suggest that grades may increase with depth, particularly at the west end of the deposit.\"Hole 23ODD-063 is at the west end of Wenot, where no previous mining was done below the surficial saprolite (figure 1, table 1). The NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for Wenot spans a 2.4 km strike length, and the western 750 m may be well suited as a starter pit for a future operation. Hole 23ODD-063 shows multiple gold zones within the broad Wenot shear corridor, including wide zones of good grade gold mineralization extending to surface (with no previous mining other than from surficial saprolite). Hole 23ODD-063 intersected multiple zones of gold mineralization (table 2, figure 2) and, in aggregate, the composite intervals that grade >0.30 g/t Au cover 138m of the 554m of drill core, or 25% of the hole. Hole 23ODD-063 tested 125m down dip from a 1994 exploration hole that intersected 1.23 g/t over 75m at a vertical depth of ~125m, where the correlating interval in -063 intersected 4.07 g/t Au over 31.1m, 5.36 g/t over 1.5m, 1.1 g/t over 6.5m and 14.21 g/t over 1...
