Osino Gold Exploration and Mining has appointed Junxin Wang as Chief Executive Officer as the company advances the Twin Hills Gold Project into its construction and operational phase in Namibia.
The leadership transition follows the departure of Tianhang (Tony) Zhang, who stepped down as Chief Executive Officer after completing a formal handover. Zhang led the company through a key development phase at Twin Hills, Namibia’s newest large-scale gold project.
“Twin Hills is a world-class asset supported by a strong and highly capable team. It represents a development of long-term significance for Namibia, and I am proud to have contributed to advancing the project to this stage,” Zhang said.
Osino said Wang brings extensive operational experience from his previous role as General Manager of Qinghai Dachaidan Mining Co., Ltd, a gold mining operation within the Shanjin International group, where he served for six years.
“Shanjin International’s success is built on strong partnerships and capable local teams. I look forward to working alongside the experienced Namibian team at Twin Hills to deliver a project that creates lasting value for all stakeholders,” Wang said.
The Twin Hills Gold Project is Namibia’s third gold mine and is being developed as a flagship open-pit operation with an estimated 13-year mine life and more than two million ounces in reserves.
With construction under way, the project is expected to become the country’s largest gold mine and a significant contributor to employment, skills development and economic output once operational.
Osino was acquired by Shanjin International Gold Co., Ltd, formerly known as Yintai Gold Co., Ltd, for N$5.3 billion in 2024
