OPUS ONE GOLD CORP RESUMES DRILLING ON IT’S 100% OWNED NOYELL
GOLD PROJECT, ABITIBI, QUEBEC
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Montreal, January 21st, 2026, Opus One Gold Corp (TSX-V: OOR) (the “Company” or
“Opus One”) is pleased to announce that two drill rigs have been mobilized on its 100%
owned Noyell gold project located in the Abitibi mining district close to the mining town of
Matagami in Quebec province, Canada. A third rig could be added in February if it is
deemed necessary to complete the program. The drill program follows-up on Opus One’s
2025 very successful program on its Zone 1 gold discovery.
The diamond drilling program will consist of approximately 26 holes adding up to around
14,000m of core. Numerous d rilling targets have been identified to infill and to extend
Zone 1 in all directions (see longitudinal section and maps). Additionally, Opus Ones will
test a new area in the western portion of the property where significant gold was reported
in drill records in the 80’s and 90’s by previous operators.
This new target area is located approximately 3km to the west of Zone 1 and corresponds
to the eastern extension of significant gold mineralization being currently defined by
drilling on the neighboring property to the west (N2 Project, Formation Metals , formerly
Wallbridge). The N2 project already hosts a significant historical gold resource (Press
release, Dec. 11th, 2025) and a major drilling program is in progress.
Opus One’s interpretation indicates that the gold mineralization observed in its western
portion of the property appears to correspond to the same geological gold bearing
structure which hosts Zone 1 in the central portion of the property. A total of 5 shallow
holes will be drilled on this target. These will be the first holes performed by Opus One in
this portion of the property.
Louis Morin, Opus One CEO commented: We are very enthusiastic about our upcoming
new drill program. In 2025, Opus One completed 9,000 m of successful d rilling on its
Zone 1 discovery, carried out a bio- geochemical sampling survey around Zone 1 and a
laser induced breakdown spectrometry study on mineralized core to characterize the gold
bearing horizon and host units. Additionally, Opus One is developing new quality gold
targets on the property. The company is therefore expanding its main mineralized zone,
initiating the mineralogical characterization of its gold bearing structure and gearing up
for new discoveries along the same favorable structure and, hopefully, along parallel
ones. No doubt 2026 will be another exciting year for the company.
