OceanaGold (Philippines), Inc. (OGP) has elected Brian Douglas Martin, the senior vice president for business development and investor relations of parent company OceanaGold Corp., as the new chairman of its board of directors.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, OGP said Martin replaces Peter Sharpe, who resigned as director and chairman “to pursue other opportunities outside the gold industry.”

Martin was also appointed as member of the Audit and Risk Committee to replace Sharpe. Martin will serve the rest of the unexpired term of Sharpe as Director and Chairman of the OGP Board and as member of the Audit and Risk Committee.

“It is an honor to be appointed Chair of OceanaGold Philippines. I look forward to working closely with the Board of Directors and management team to continue delivering strong operational performance and value creation for our shareholders,” said Martin.

He noted that, “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.”

As an executive with two decades of experience in the metals and mining sector, OGP said Martin brings deep expertise in corporate strategy, investor engagement, and business development.

He currently serves as the 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.

Meeting with key national stakeholders and regulators, Martin reiterated OceanaGold Philippines’ commitment to continue to invest in the Philippines and support local and national development.

He met with Deputy Governor Mamerto G. Tangonan of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and underscored OceanaGold Philippines' agreement to sell at least 25 percent of its annual gold dore production directly to the BSP, thereby helping to strengthen the country’s gold reserves and supporting the Philippine financial system.

Martin also paid a courtesy visit to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) Chief Operating Officer Roel Refran, where he underscored 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.
