Omai Gold Added to VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF
Omai Gold Mines Corp., a Canadian gold exploration and development company, has been added to the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) following its September 11, 2026 index review. The inclusion is effective at the market close on September 18, 2026. Omai Gold's Guyana project has an 18-year plan for producing 6.3 million ounces of gold.
The company expects this to enhance its visibility and trading liquidity among institutional and retail investors. A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the project was recently announced, outlining a mine plan with average annual production of 351,000 ounces over 18 years. The PEA supports a $4.0 billion net asset value at a $3,600/oz gold price base case.
Omai Gold has established an existing infrastructure including a cleared site, airstrip, tailings facility, and road connections to Georgetown and Linden.
