OceanaGold (Philippines), Inc. is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Brian Martin as Chair of the Board of Directors, effective September 24, 2025.
“It is an honor to be appointed Chair of OceanaGold Philippines. I look forward to working closely with the Board of Directors and the management team to continue delivering strong operational performance and value creation for our shareholders," Martin said in a statement.
"With a high-quality asset in Didipio and an experienced and dedicated team, we are well-positioned to build on our success and contribute meaningfully to the Philippines and the communities we serve," he added.
As an executive with two decades of experience in the metals and mining sector, Martin brings deep expertise in corporate strategy, investor engagement and business development.
He currently serves as Senior Vice President, Business Development and Investor Relations, at OceanaGold Corporation. In this role, Martin leads OceanaGold’s investor relations program, advances strategic growth initiatives, and plays a central role in shaping and executing the company’s corporate strategy.
While meeting with key national stakeholders and regulators, Martin reiterated OceanaGold Philippines’ commitment to continuing to invest in the Philippines and to supporting local and national development.
He met with Deputy Governor Mamerto G. Tangonan of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and underscored the agreement of OceanaGold Philippines to sell at least 25 percent of its annual gold doré production directly to the BSP, helping strengthen the country’s gold reserves and supporting the Philippine financial system.
Martin also paid a courtesy visit to Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) Chief Operating Officer Atty. Roel Refran, where he emphasized OGP’s growth potential and commitment to creating long-term value for its shareholders.
These engagements come at a time when OceanaGold Philippines continues to gain recognition in the Philippine market for its steady operational performance and exceptional returns for shareholders since its successful IPO in May 2024. In August 2025, the Company was added to the PSE MidCap Index.
“Our recent inclusion in the PSE MidCap Index is a strong endorsement of the trust investors and regulators place in us. It reflects our consistent performance, transparent governance, and commitment to responsible mining,” Martin said.
With the Company’s strong leadership, OceanaGold Philippines continues to deepen its collaboration with governments, communities, and regulators as it strives to create a better future for all its stakeholders.
