OceanaGold (Philippines) Inc. recently appointed Brian Martin as Chairman of the Board of Directors, a move that signals both continuity and ambition for the listed miner behind the Didipio gold-copper operation.
Martin, a two-decade veteran of the global metals and mining sector, brings deep experience in corporate strategy, investor relations, and growth execution. As Senior Vice President for Business Development and Investor Relations at parent firm OceanaGold Corp., he has helped steer critical investor engagement and expansion initiatives across markets.
“It is an honor to be appointed Chair,” Martin said. “With a high-quality asset in Didipio and a dedicated team, we are well positioned to deliver sustained value for shareholders and contribute meaningfully to the Philippines and its communities.”
Since its IPO in May 2024, OceanaGold Philippines has gained solid market traction, underlined by its August 2025 inclusion in the PSE MidCap Index. Martin’s early visits to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and Philippine Stock Exchange underscore a commitment to local value creation—most notably, an agreement to sell at least 25 percent of the Company’s annual gold dore production to the BSP to help strengthen national reserves.
Martin’s leadership arrives at a time of operational strength and reputational momentum. “Our inclusion in the MidCap Index reflects investor confidence and our dedication to responsible mining,” he added.
As OceanaGold Philippines builds on its early success, Martin’s appointment signals a steady course—with deeper roots, stronger partnerships, and long-term vision.
