OceanaGold Philippines’ newly appointed chairman, Brian Martin, has pledged to strengthen the country’s gold reserves, committing to sell at least 25 percent of the company’s annual gold dore output directly to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
The move underscores OceanaGold Philippines’ support for national development and its role in reinforcing the Philippine financial system.
OGP announced Martin’s appointment as chair of the board of directors effective Sept. 24, 2025.
“I look forward to working closely with the Board and management team to continue delivering strong operational performance and value for our shareholders,” Martin said. “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.”
With two decades of experience in the metals and mining sector, Martin brings expertise in corporate strategy, investor engagement, and business development.
He currently serves as senior vice president for business development and investor relations at OceanaGold Corporation, where he leads the company’s investor relations program, advances strategic growth initiatives, and helps shape its corporate strategy.
OGP reported a steady operational performance and strong shareholder returns since its successful IPO in May 2024.
In August 2025, the company was added to the PSE MidCap Index.
“Our inclusion in the PSE MidCap Index is a strong endorsement of the trust investors and regulators place in us,” Martin said. “It reflects our consistent performance, transparent governance, and commitment to responsible mining.”
