Orezone Gold AGM: Board Member Joe Conway Exits

Orezone Gold Corporation held its annual general meeting June 25, with CEO Patrick Downey thanking outgoing board member Joe Conway for his tenure. The virtual meeting, conducted via live webcast, followed standard procedural format with the appointment of chair and acceptance of motions.

Conway's departure marks a board-level change at the Toronto-listed gold producer, which operates the Bomboré open-pit mine in Burkina Faso. The company has not disclosed a replacement or provided an update on operations during the meeting. Downey acknowledged Conway's contributions and guidance without specifying the timing of his exit or the reason for the transition.

The AGM covered typical governance items: election of directors, appointment of auditors, and approval of the company's stock option plan. Senior Vice President and General Counsel Ryan Goodman outlined the rules for shareholder participation, including the handling of personal information disclosed during the meeting.

Orezone has not yet provided a quarterly operational update for the current period. The company's last production report covered the first quarter of 2026, when Bomboré achieved record gold output. Investors tracking West African gold producers may watch for the next production release, which typically follows within 60 days of quarter-end.
