February 6, 2024 – Vancouver, B.C. – Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE: A2PEAD) (OTC: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”) has engaged RJLL Forage Drilling (“RJLL”) of Rouyn-Noranda, QC, to conduct drilling on the Bazooka Property (“Bazooka”) in the Abitibi Gold Belt. RJLL brings over 100 years of drilling expertise, including extensive prospecting experience in the Abitibi region, having successfully executed drill programs for numerous exploration and major mining companies.
Blake Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of Opawica, stated:
“This drill program will significantly enhance our potential to discover more of Bazooka’s gold mineralization. After intersecting visible gold in multiple holes during our last drill program, we expect significant improvements in targeting as we integrate AI and other advanced geo-mapping tools. With over 20,000m in high-priority targets, the team is eager to begin its 2025 drill campaign.”
Opawica’s Bazooka property is adjacent to Yamana Gold’s Wasamac property, which hosts a proven gold resource of 1,767,000 oz. Other major gold mining companies, including Agnico Eagle Mines, are also located in close proximity. Previous drilling campaigns from 2003 to 2005 found extensive evidence of gold-bearing minerals on the property, with high-grade drill intercepts including:
7.5 g/t gold over 25.77m
77 g/t gold over 5.5m
316.23 g/t gold over a 1-meter section in Hole #BA-03-02A
