Justin Tremain

MD Turaco Gold

Mr Tremain is an experienced company director with extensive expertise across the mineral resources sector. His experience covers equity capital markets and promotion, resource project acquisition, exploration and resource delineation, feasibility studies and project development financing. 
He was previously the Managing Director of Exore Resources Ltd. He joined Exore in January 2018 and identified and led the acquisition of a gold exploration portfolio in Cote d’Ivoire, West Africa. Exore acquired the Cote d’Ivoire project portfolio for circa $3.5 million in October 2018 and undertook an immediate, aggressive exploration programme that resulted in the discovery and delineation of a maiden JORC Resource. Less than 2 years from acquiring the Cote d’Ivoire projects, Exore was acquired by Perseus Mining Ltd in September 2020 for a value circa of $80 million by way of a Scheme of Arrangement. 
Prior to Exore, he founded Renaissance Minerals Limited and listed it on the Australian Securities Exchange in June 2010 and served as Managing Director until its takeover by Emerald Resources NL in November 2016. During that time, Mr Tremain oversaw Renaissance’s growth as first mover into the frontier jurisdiction of Cambodia and successfully defined a highly economic +1 million ounce JORC gold resource and completion of a feasibility Study.
