OPUS ONE FINDS GOLD GRADES OF 5.6 g/t over 1.4m AND 6.3 g/t over 0.8m ON
VEIN No-3, KELLAR AREA , GRIZZLY PROPERTY NEAR CHIBOUGAMAU-
CHAPAIS, QUEBEC, CANADA
MONTREAL, QC - OPUS ONE Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “ OPUS ONE”) – (TSX
Venture Exchange: OOR), is pleased to announce that the summer trenching program on Vein
No-3 in the Kellar Lake area was successful and has returned encouraging gold grades. The
Kellar area presents a system of stacked NNE and conjugate EW gold bearing structures . The
2017 trenching program was designed to exp ose the East West trending Vein No-3, discovered
during the 2016 fall trenching program. Mechanical stripping was carried out over Vein No-3 to
expose the maximum length of the vein. Over 100 metres of strike length was stripped and
sampled. The structure remains open in all directions.
The vein varied in width from 0. 2 to over 2.0 metres including the mineralised and silicified
contact zone. It consists of quartz and carbonate with minor tourmaline and sulfides (up to 5%
pyrite and local chalcopyrite). The vein strikes East-West and dips to the South at approximately
55 degrees. The host rock is s trongly altered (mostly carbonate and silica) massive and pillowed
basalt flows. Channel samples were taken at 3 to 5 metre intervals across the mineralised zone,
where ever possible. The full width of the zone was not always accessible for channel sampling.
The following table is a summary of the best individual or composite assay results from over 35
channels totaling 98 individual samples oriented perpendicular to strike:

Vein No-3 and structure was lost both to the East and West due to thick overburden; however the
IP survey carried out in 2016 did show continuity and other similar parallel EW and NNE
anomalies. Best grades and thicknesses were observed at the East end of the trench. Follow up
exploration toward the East is planned for the next phase in 2018, consisting of diamond drilling
over the best geological and geophysical targets in the Kellar area.
Other trenches were also completed over historical showings Vein No -2 and ‘Kill’. However, no
significant results were obtained from these trenches.
HISTORY OF THE KELLAR SHOWING
Kellar showing was discovered in 1936 by George E. Kellar a prospector working for
Prospector Airways. They reported finding visible gold and traced a NNE quartz vein by digging
small pits for a distance of 1,600 feet. Wo rk was abandoned due to the project ’s remoteness at
the time. However , work resumed on the property after a road was built to Chibougamau to
service the mines in the area. The property became accessible by a short float plane flight from a
base at Cache La ke. According to historical reports from SIGEOM public database, i n the early
fifties, several pits were cleaned and resampled which returned grab sample results varying from
3.4 to 23.8 g/t Au. A small portable drill was then brought -in to test the vein a t depth. A number
of companies returned over the years to resample the old trenches reporting similar results. This
was then followed by a wide spaced IP survey that was carried out over the main showing area.
It identified the No -1 vein structure and seve ral other parallel anomalies which may indicate a
stacked vein system. A limited drilling program with small diameter core tested the coincident IP
anomaly / Vein No-1 structure in the early eighties with mitigated results.
In 2016, GFK Resources (Now Op us One Resources) completed a 460 metres trench over Vein
No-1, discovered Vein No -3 and completed a 100 m spacing IP survey over the entire Kellar
area. The area was then prospected last summer and mechanical stripping program followed up
over best sub-cropping area coincident or nearby IP anomalies.
Mr. Louis Morin, CEO, states: "This first phase of exploration on the recently discovered Vein
No-3 generated encouraging results with coherent grades over narrow distance. We expect
better thicknesses toward East but it was unfortunately impossible to expose the structure. We
look forward for our next winter drill program to unveil the potential of this area as well as
other high priority targets on this promising property."
Grizzly is a gold property which consists of 142 mining claims covering an area of 7,765
hectares located approximately 40 kilometers northwest of the town of Chapais , accessible via a
good network of logging roads. The area is underlain by rocks of Archean age of the Gilman and
La Trève formations. The property contains more than 10 historical gold showings and
occurrences associated with EW and NNE trends with grades varying from 1 g/t to up to 46 g/t.
Very limited exploration work such as basic prospecti ng, mechanical trenching and shallow
drilling was done over the property

Samples collected during the 201 7 fall exploration program were dispatched from Ch apais to
Laboratoire Expert Rouyn-Noranda for processing. Sta ndard and blank QA-QC samples were
introduced in the sample series at regular intervals in the field. All samples were processed
according to Laboratoire Expert ’s internal quality control procedures. They were analysed
following standard pyro-analyses technics “Fire Ass ay-Atomic Absorption” . Samples which
returned values equal or greater than 5.0 g/t were reanalysed by gravimetric method.
