OPUS ONE GOLD CORP. ACQUIRES A SECOND PROPERTY WITH LITHIUM
POTENTIAL NEAR Q2 MIA LITHIUM DISCOVERY
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Montreal, JUNE 28th, 2023, Opus One Gold Corp (TSX -V: OOR) (the “Company” or
“Opus One”) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement for the acquisition
of a 100% interest of a second property for lithium in the Eeyou Itschee Territory, James
Bay, Quebec, in a district that is currently being intensively explored for its lithium potential
by mining companies.
After months of property evaluations, the company elected to get involved in areas of the
James Bay which are particularly active for lithium exploration. It took a while to the
management to secure properties because of the restrictive parameters established by
the company for property acquisition:
1. The properties have to be located within prospective districts.
2. The properties have to be accessible by land for low- cost exploration and
development (trucks or ATV’s)
3. The properties have to show excellent potential for discoveries.
The terms of the option agreement between Opus One and the owners consists of a cash
payment of 40,000.00$CDN, payable upon the closing of a future financing within the next
6 months; 4,250,000 Opus One shares, valued at 0.05$ per share and 1,000,000
warrants exercisable at 0.10$ for a period of 18 months; all of the above divided 50%
within the two claims owners. The transaction is conditional upon TSX Venture Exchange
(the "TSXV") approval
The chosen property, called ‘ Wemindji’, is located near the village of the same name ,
immediately to the west of the MIA Lithium discovery (Q2 Metals). It consists of 1 claim
block covering 2,590 hectares. The property is located north of the road leading to
Wemindji and is easily accessible with ATV’s. The MIA Lithium discovery consist of a
series of spodumene bearing pegmatites located along an ENE -WSW axis which might
continue west onto the Wemindji property.
A preliminary evaluation of the area consisting of a study of satellite images indicated the
presence of several elongated pale colored rock formations, well exposed because of
recent historical wildfires that are consistent with the presence of pegmatite dykes.
The company is gearing up for a summer prospecting, mapping and sampling program
on both properties recently acquired in the area (Wemindji and LaGrande). A field crew
should be mobilized in late July. The field program is fully funded.
Louis Morin CEO of Opus One commented: “Through the partnership we established with
seasoned and dedicated prospectors, we are acquiring a second lithium property that
again, corresponds precisely to our corporate criteria as for accessibility and mineral
potential. At Opus One we are always careful to wisely spend our funds to create
maximum value for our shareholders. We secured a first-class competent crew to conduct
our upcoming summer field program and we are fully financed to proceed.
