OPAWICA DRILLS BAZOOKA’S 14 HIGH PRIORITY TARGETS
Vancouver, B.C. – December 16, 2021 - Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE:
A2PEAD) (OTC: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”) has commenced drilling the 14 recently
identified high property gold targets at the Bazooka Property situated in the Abitibi Gold Camp.
The drill program will consist of up to 14 drill holes with depths of up to 400 meters to test for gold
mineralization associated with the Cadillac Larder Lake break and its related stratigraphy.
Blake Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of Opawica stated, “We have now started drilling. With 39
high priority drill targets identified and the potential of additional targets developing, the Bazooka
drill campaign is getting very exciting. We look forward to getting our assays back as soon as
possible, so we can relay the news to our shareholders.”
The Bazooka Property occurs along one of the most prolific auriferous structures in the world, the
Cadillac-Larder Lake Break/Fault. The Cadillac-Larder Lake Break/Fault, in part, marks the
boundary between the Archean Abitibi sub-province in the north and the predominantly
metasedimentary Pontiac sub-province south of the fault.
Gold mineralization on the Property occurs within mixed, up to 60m wide (estimated true width),
strong quartz-carbonate-sericite and talc-chlorite schists of sedimentary and ultramafic to mafic
volcanic protoliths, respectively, and is referred to as the Main Zone. The alteration and
mineralization are spatially associated with the Cadillac-Larder Lake.
The Break/Fault zone is at the base and is characterized by up to 2.0m wide (estimated true
width), strongly graphitic fault. The graphitic fault generally marks the contact between the
sedimentary and ultramafic metavolcanic rocks.
The Main Zone is characterized by strong to intense quartz-carbonate-sericite and talc-chlorite-
carbonate+/-quartz alteration, is generally mineralized with trace to 3% pyrite+arsenopyrite+/-
chalcopyrite+/- pyrrhotite and locally contains fine specks of free gold in narrow quartz
veins/stringers and highly silicified rocks. Patchy to locally pervasive fuchsite alteration (weak to
strong) often accompanies the quartz-sericite-carbonate alteration. Quartz-tourmaline veins occur
locally both within and adjacent to the Main Zone.
