Opawica Explorations Begins Field Work at its Arrowhead Gold
Project in Quebec, Canada in Preparation for Upcoming Drill
Campaign
November 12th, 2024 – Vancouver, B.C. – Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE:
A2PEAD) (OTCQB: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”), a Canadian mineral exploration
company focused on precious and base metal projects, is pleased to announce that a crew has
been mobilized to conduct field work at the Arrowhead Gold Project (“Arrowhead”) in the Abitibi
gold camp in Quebec, Canada.
Specifically, the Company has deployed an advance team, including a Quebec-registered
geologist and an assistant, to Arrowhead to prepare for an upcoming drill campaign by mapping
out access routes and identify drill locations for at least 25 high-property gold targets previously
identified in the zone. The crew will further scout locations where secondary or alternate drill
sites may be considered.
Blake Morgan CEO stated, “This is an important step in advancing Arrowhead as we await
permit approval. This preparation will enable us to mobilize quickly, ensuring we are ready to
begin drilling as efficiently and quickly as possible once the permits have been granted.”
The 25 drill targets were done in collaboration with ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd. and
Opawica. The team integrated various drillhole recent and legacy datasets, including geological,
structural, alteration, mineralogical, geochemical, and 2D seismic data information which have
provided a deeper insight into Arrowhead’s geology. The interpretation of this updated drillhole
database led to a cohesive 3D model/geological model, fault network, and ore body model
which has provided the foundation for a drilling exploration strategy at Arrowhead Property.
First prospecting started in 1920 on the major shear zone located in the northern part of the
property. In 1926 the exploration works consisted prospecting, pitting, trenching and diamond
drilling, mainly to test two shear zones containing quartz-carbonate veins with free gold. Gold
values of up to 45.05 g/t were obtained over appreciable widths.
