OceanaGold has appointed Brian Martin as the new Chair of the Board of Directors of OceanaGold Philippines, effective September 24, 2025.
“It is an honor to be appointed Chair of OceanaGold Philippines,” Martin said. “I look forward to working closely with the Board and management team to deliver strong operational performance and create long-term value for our shareholders. With a high-quality asset in Didipio and a dedicated team, we are well-positioned to build on our success and contribute meaningfully to the Philippines and the communities we serve.”
A seasoned executive with more than two decades of experience in the metals and mining sector, Martin currently serves as Senior Vice President for Business Development and Investor Relations at OceanaGold Corporation. He leads the company’s investor relations program, drives strategic growth initiatives, and plays a key role in shaping and executing corporate strategy.
During recent meetings with national stakeholders and regulators, Martin reaffirmed OceanaGold Philippines’ commitment to sustainable investment and national development. He met with Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Deputy Governor Mamerto G. Tangonan, reiterating the company’s agreement to sell at least 25 percent of its annual gold dore production directly to the BSP, helping strengthen the country’s gold reserves and support the Philippine financial system.
Martin also paid a courtesy visit to Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) Chief Operating Officer Atty. Roel Refran, where he highlighted OceanaGold Philippines’ growth potential and its commitment to creating long-term value for shareholders.
The engagements come as OceanaGold Philippines continues to earn market recognition for its consistent operational performance and strong returns since its successful IPO in May 2024. In August 2025, the company was included in the PSE MidCap Index, marking a milestone in its growth story.
“Our inclusion in the PSE MidCap Index reflects the trust investors and regulators place in us. It validates our consistent performance, transparent governance, and commitment to responsible mining,” Martin said.
With Martin’s leadership, OceanaGold Philippines aims to further strengthen its collaboration with the government, communities, and regulators—reinforcing its vision of responsible mining and sustainable growth for all stakeholders.
