OCEANAGOLD CORP .
Born and bred in New Zealand , OceanaGold was originally founded in 1989 as Macraes Mining . Starting from a single mine , the mining company has developed into a significant multinational gold producer with a dynamic portfolio of operating , development , and exploration assets in New Zealand , the Philippines and most recently the United States .
“ We ’ ve gone from a single asset gold mining company to a multinational gold producer with four mines in three countries ,” said Mick Wilkes , OceanaGold ’ s Managing Director and CEO .
In recent months , the mining firm has secured a string of key additions to build upon , including the purchase of Newmont Mining ’ s Waihi Gold Mine in New Zealand and the Haile Gold Mine in the U .
