OPAWICA MOBILIZES CREW TO ARROWHEAD 5,000 METER DRILL PROGRAM
Vancouver, B.C. – April 21, 2022 - Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE: A2PEAD)
(OTC: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”) is mobilizing a crew to the Arrowhead Property to
start its maiden 5,000-meter drill program.
Blake Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of Opawica stated: “As we eagerly await our assays from
our Bazooka project, the Opawica team is mobilizing for its maiden 5,000m drill program on the
Arrowhead Property. Our team is excited to begin drilling on another flagship asset and we look
forward to sharing the results with our shareholders as they come in.”
One of the most prolific gold mining sections* of the Cadillac Fault lies immediately east of the
Arrowhead Project. Most ore bodies* of the area plunge steeply to the west. The apparent plunge
of the gold-bearing zones may serve as a guide for deep exploration below known showings and
gold deposits situated along and around the Cadillac Fault. The Arrowhead Project lies in Blake
River Group metavolcanites like those of large gold mines to the east, such as Mouska (7.9 km),
* MicMac (9.0 km) *, Mooshla (10.0 km) * and Doyon (11.3 km). *
The Arrowhead Project is mainly covered by the metavolcanites of the Blake River Group. Strata
are oriented E-W and present a sub-vertical dip. Volcanic and sedimentary rocks form a series of
E-W trending, steeply dipping monoclinal panels. The sequences are separated by longitudinal
contacts parallel to the lithologies. In the southern part of Joannes Township, the Cadillac Fault
runs along an E-W axis over a lateral distance of about 150 km. In the Province of Quebec, more
than 40 gold deposits that have produced over 60 million ounces of gold in the past hundred years
are associated with this major structure and its subsidiary faults.
First prospecting started in 1920 on the major shear zone located in the northern part of the
property. In 1926 the exploration works consisted of 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. Two main veins, designed as
"A" and "B", were explored. This work led to underground exploration that started in 1936. A three-
compartments shaft was sunk to a depth of 154m. Levels were established at depths of 60.96m
(200 ft), 106.68m (350 ft) and 152.40m (500 ft). Drifting and crosscutting were carried out on all
three levels on the "A" and "B" veins.
