Opawica Receives Drill Permit on Its 100% Owned Bazooka Property On The Abitibi Green Stone Belt Quebec
Opawica Receives Drill Permit on Its 100% Owned Bazooka
Property On The Abitibi Green Stone Belt Quebec
February 4 th, 2025 – 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 in the Abitibi gold belt
in Quebec. Opawica Explorations Inc. has received a two-year drill permit on its 20 high-
priority gold targets at the Bazooka Property.
The 20 drill targets were done in collaboration with ALS Geoanalytics (formally ALS GoldSpot
Discoveries Ltd). and Opawica. The team integrated various drill hole recent and legacy data sets,
including geological, structural, alteration, mineralogical, and geochemistry. The interpretation of
this updated drill hole database led to a cohesive three-dimensional model/geological model, fault
network and orebody model, which have provided the foundation for a drilling exploration strategy
at Bazooka Property.
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 20 drill targets identified at Bazooka total approximately 10,000 meters of drilling data. Using
the Televiewer data the Company was able to identify four possible mineralized vein and
schistosity structures that are striking northeast, west northwest, southwest and north-northwest.
This resulted in the identification of two main families of mineralized veins, Family A and Family
B. Family A veins predominantly strike at N042º and dip at 35º-40º, while Family B veins strike at
N230º and dip at approximately 63º.
In one scenario, Family A and Family B represent an extension of veins and shear veins,
respectively, in a shear-hosted gold mineralization setting. In another scenario, late northeast-
striking brittle deformation is responsible for the northeast orientation of Family A, possibly
indicating that the Family A and Family B veins were rotated along the northeast-striking
deformation corridor.
The newly collected data was organized into thirteen wireframes,
modeled using selected gold values over 0.2 g/t Au composites
across four meters. This resulted in a structural model and trend
that serves as the basis for the 2025 drill targets.
“CEO Blake Morgan States, The Opawica team is thrilled to now
have the Bazooka drill permits in hand. With the large amount of
geological data we have obtained over the past few years. The
team feels very strongly about our high priority drill targets. We will
now move aggressively to finalize our upcoming 2025 drill
campaign.”
