Executive Summary

  • Opawica Explorations Inc. reports discovery of 19 gold‑mineralized zones on its 100 % owned Bazooka property, with 15 zones grading above 0.55 g/t Au (up to 6.12 g/t) and 16 zones extending >10 m (up to 67.9 m).
  • The company plans to drill westward along the Cadillac‑Larder Lake fault to test continuity of these zones and target new high‑grade intersections, leveraging historic mineralization that may represent a large, connected gold system.
  • Management highlights the potential for multi‑million‑ounce deposits similar to nearby sold assets (e.g., $25 M sale in Dec 2024) and intends to pursue joint‑venture or sale opportunities.

Key Details

  • Property Overview: Bazooka project covers 1,371 ha; contains ~7 km of the Cadillac‑Larder Lake fault (CLLB).
  • Drilling Highlights – Eastern Segment:
  • 19 mineralized zones identified.
  • 15 zones with grades >0.55 g/t Au, highest reported grade 6.12 g/t Au.
  • 16 zones with core lengths >10 m, longest intercept 67.9 m; four larger intercepts exceed 0.84 g/t Au.
  • Western Segment Potential: Historical gold mineralization along the fault suggests a large, undiscovered system awaiting exploration.
  • Strategic Plan:
  • Initiate systematic westward drilling from high‑grade eastern zone to test fault continuity and discover new high‑grade zones.
  • Target linking existing zones to create larger, contiguous deposits akin to nearby sold projects.
  • Comparative Benchmark: Reference to a neighboring deposit sold for $25 M in Dec 2024 (Yorbeu Resources) underscores the economic potential of similar discoveries.
  • Qualified Person: Yvan Bussieres, P.Eng., OIQ No. 31985, has approved the technical content.

Notable Quotes
