OceanaGold Corporation is a multinational gold producer engaged in the exploration, development and operation of open pit and underground gold mines. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, the company also recovers significant by-product copper and silver from its ore streams. Its vertically integrated model encompasses all aspects of mining, from early-stage exploration and feasibility studies to mine construction, production and reclamation.
The company’s flagship assets include the Didipio mine in the Philippines, the Macraes and Waihi operations in New Zealand, and the Haile gold mine in South Carolina, USA. Didipio features both open pit and underground mining, with a mill capable of processing sulfide and oxide ore. Macraes is New Zealand’s longest continuously operating gold mine, while Waihi combines high-grade underground deposits with open pit resources. Haile, acquired in 2018, marked the company’s first production asset in the United States and features a modern processing plant designed for low-cost, bulk mining.
Established in its current form in 2006 through the merger of several gold exploration and production companies, OceanaGold has roots in 19th-century New Zealand mining. Since then, the company has grown through strategic acquisitions, exploration successes and investments in sustainable mining practices. It maintains an active exploration portfolio across the Pacific Rim, with grassroots and brownfield projects aimed at extending mine life and unlocking new deposits.
Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Holmes, OceanaGold places emphasis on corporate responsibility, environmental stewardship and community engagement. The company’s sustainability programs target water management, biodiversity protection and social development initiatives in host communities. OceanaGold’s governance framework is designed to uphold high standards of safety, ethics and transparency as it advances its goal of responsible growth in the gold mining sector.
