About Osino Resources
Osino is a Canadian gold exploration and
development company focused on the fast-tracked development of our
wholly owned, Twin Hills Gold Project in central Namibia. Since its
grassroots discovery by Osino in August 2019 the Company has
completed more than 225,000m of drilling and has completed a suite
of specialist technical studies culminating in the recently
published Twin Hills Definitive Feasibility Study
("DFS") dated effective June 12, 2023. The DFS
describes a technically simple and economically robust open-pit
gold operation with a 13-year mine life and average annual gold
production of over 169,000oz per annum.
Osino has a commanding ground position of over
8,000km2 located within Namibia's prospective Damara sedimentary
mineral belt, mostly in proximity to and along strike of the
producing Navachab and Otjikoto Gold Mines. The Company is actively
exploring a range of gold prospects and targets along the belt by
utilizing a portfolio approach geared towards discovery, targeting
gold mineralization that fits the broad orogenic gold model.
Our core projects are favourably located north
and north-west of Namibia's capital city Windhoek. By virtue of
their location, the projects benefit significantly from Namibia's
well-established infrastructure with paved highways, railway, power
and water in close proximity. Namibia is mining-friendly and lauded
as one of the continent's most politically and socially stable
jurisdictions. Osino continues to evaluate new ground with a view
to expanding our Namibian portfolio.
