African Gold Limited has announced the appointment of Mr. Adam Oehlman as Managing Director. Mr. Oehlman is an experienced mining professional with a strong technical and business background, having held senior management positions at some of the largest resource companies. Mr. Oehlman most recently held commercial roles with Hancock Prospecting, Rio Tinto and Oz Minerals, managing commercial and strategic projects within each of these functions.
He also held a number of technical roles at Northern Star, Billabong Gold and Gold Fields, where he gained significant experience at all stages from exploration to production. Mr Oehlman holds a BSc in Applied Geology, a MSc in Mineral and Energy Economics and an MBA, all from Curtin University, Western Australia. His strong commercial and technical understanding of the projects will be invaluable to African Gold as it completes the ongoing diamond drilling program at its Didievi project, with the aim of increasing inferred resources of 4.93 Mt for 452 kilos of gold to 2.9 g/t Au (1.0 g/t Au outside the mine).
In conjunction with Mr. Oehlman’s appointment, Mr. Phillip Gallagher will step down as Managing Director to focus on his other duties. Mr. Gallagher has worked for African Gold since August 2022 and oversaw the company’s first inferred resource from the Didievi project. Mr Gallagher will retain his role as CEO for the next three months to ensure an orderly transition.
