OPAWICA EXPLORATION ENGAGES ALS GOLDSPOT DISCOVERIES TO
DEVELOP HIGH PRIORITY DRILL TARGETS ON THE BAZOOKA PROJECT
Vancouver, B.C. – September 7, 2023 – Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE: A2PEAD)
(OTC: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”) is pleased to announce that it has engaged ALS
GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd. (“ALS GoldSpot”) to develop drill targets on the Bazooka Property in
the Quebec Abitibi greenstone belt. Gold Spot will utilize the recent explorati on program s
undertaken by Opawica along with a large, collaborative team of geoscientists and data scientists
focused on maximizing the chances of discovery using ALS Goldspot's proprietary technology
and geoscience expertise.
Blake Morgan, chief executive officer of Opawica stated, “The team is thrilled to be moving ahead
in conjunction with ALS GoldSpot to develop new high priority drill targets on the Bazooka property
for the phase two drill program.
Over the past 24 months we have gained a wealth of knowledge with over $4,000,000 invested
and 80% of all our drill holes containing gold from low to high grade. Now due to the large volume
of geophysical work taken place on the property since our phase 1 drill program, including
airborne magnetic, down hole magnetics and Induced Polarization geophysical methods. The
information we have gained is extraordinary as it relates to the Bazooka property.
We will use this knowledge to tap into what we believe could be a world class deposit in one of
the most established mining jurisdictions in the world. With only 15% of the Property explored,
the room for growth could be astronomical. The Agnico Eagle acquisition of Yámana confirms that
we are in an extremely high demand region, with multiple active mines contiguous to our claims.
About the Bazooka, Quebec Abitibi
The Bazooka project is contiguous to the southwestern border of Yamana Gold's Wasamac gold
property that has existing proven and probable mineral reserves of 1.8 million ounces of gold at
2.56 grams per tonne. Wasamac has proven 1,028,000 tonnes at 2.66 g/t Au and probable of
20,427,000 tonnes at 2.56 g/t Au (Yamana Gold press release Jan. 21, 2021). Mineralization
hosted on adjacent and/or nearby and/or geologically similar properties is not necessarily
indicative of mineralization hosted on the Company's properties.
Bazooka drilling in 2003 yielded up to 316.23 g/t Au over one metre in hole BA-03-02A, and 2021-
2022 drilling returned 18.7 g/t Au over one metre and 13.7 g/t Au over one point six metre (see
press release August 15, 2022).
