Opawica Drill Hole Targets 2D Seismic on the Arrowhead Gold Project in Quebec, Canada
Opawica Drill Hole Targets 2D Seismic on the
Arrowhead Gold Project in Quebec, Canada
February 13th 2025 – Vancouver, B.C. – Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE:
A2PEAD) (OTCQB: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”), a Canadian mineral exploration
company focused on precious and base metal projects.
One of the primaries aims of the forthcoming Arrowhead Drill Program is to evaluate targets
identified through the Echo-Geotech's land-streamer 2-D seismic survey.
The Company identified four potential subvertical mineralized trends, marked in red (Figure 1).
The two proposed drill holes are intended to intersect three of these trends. Historical drilling
results from Arrowhead, specifically hole 81-06, which yielded 8.23 Au g/t over 0.5 m, and AR-
22-14, which returned 3.91 Au g/t over 1.0 m, correspond with two of the identified trends. The
upcoming drilling program aims to explore these trends at greater depths.
The blue projected drill hole (Figure 1) is set to investigate mineralized trends 8, 4, and 5.
Additionally, five seismic reflectors (depicted in blue and black) will also be examined.
The green projected drill hole is designed to assess mineralized trends 8 and 4 at approximately
300 meters below the blue drill hole (Figure 1). Furthermore, six seismic reflectors (shown in blue
and black) will be tested in this context.
Blake Morgan CEO stated, “Over the past few years the Opawica team has amassed a wealth of
data by doing millions of dollars’ worth of exploration and drilling. The seismic survey we
completed was one of the first of its kind in this region and is now used by multiple companies as
it brings a data set, rarely seen by a junior mining exploration company. The Opawica team is
going to use this data which shows multiple zones at multiple depth in its upcoming drill program.
Abitibi is one of the most prolific gold bearing regions on earth and with multiple active mines all
around us, proven high grade on the property and a massive data set. The team is confident it
can deliver the high-quality results in its phase 2 drill campaign”
The drill targets were developed in partnership with ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd. and Opawica.
The team combined a range of recent and historical drillhole datasets, encompassing geological,
structural, alteration, mineralogical, geochemical, and 2D seismic data. This integration has
enhanced the understanding of Arrowhead’s geology.
First prospecting started in 1920 on the major shear zone located in the northern part of the
property. In 1926 the exploration works consisted of prospecting, pitting, trenching and diamond
drilling, mainly to test two shear zones containing quartz-carbonate veins with free gold. Gold
values of up to 45.05 g/t were obtained over appreciable widths.
