OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 6, 2011) - Orezone Gold Corporation (News - Market indicators) is pleased to announce that Patrick Downey and Keith Peck have joined its Board of Directors. Mr. Downey is a mining engineer with over 30 years of experience that includes senior positions at several large-scale gold mining operations. Most recently he has been President and CEO of Aura Minerals and prior to that President and CEO of Viceroy Exploration which was acquired by Yamana Gold in 2006. Mr. Peck is CEO of Lincoln Peck Financial Inc., a financial advisory firm focused on the resource sector. He has over 27 years of investment banking experience with a broad business background that includes public and private financings, mergers and acquisitions.

The company is also pleased to report that Sean Homuth has returned, after a brief absence, to the position of Chief Financial Officer. He is a Chartered Accountant and a Certified Public Accountant and was involved in the development, construction and sale of Essakane in 2008/2009 and more recently with the spin-out and development of the Bomboré project.
