Opawica Identifies 10,000m of 25 High Priority Drill Targets on its Arrowhead Property in the Abitibi Gold Belt

OPW · Price

Executive Summary

  • Opawica Explorations announced the identification of 20 high‑priority drill‑ready zones at its Arrowhead Property using GoldSpot’s AI “Smart Targeting” technology.
  • The upcoming drill program will consist of up to 10,000 m across four target groups (Western Zone, Eastern Zone, Seismic‑Based Targets, Historic Follow‑Up).
  • The company highlights that the initial drill program previously intersected gold in every hole, underscoring the potential scale of the Arrowhead system.

Key Details

  • AI Targeting: 20 high‑priority zones generated via GoldSpot’s proprietary AI platform, integrating geological data on a 5 m × 5 m × 5 m grid.
  • Western Zone: 15 drill targets, total planned depth ≈ 4,500 m; spacing 100–300 m to test high‑grade continuity.
  • Eastern Zone: 3 drill holes, total planned depth ≈ 2,000 m targeting a Z‑shaped fold hinge zone associated with IP anomalies.
  • Seismic‑Based Targets: 2 deep drill holes, each ~1,000 m, positioned on Echo‑Geotech’s 2021 2D seismic survey interpretations.
  • Historic Follow‑Up: 4 drill holes, total planned depth ≈ 1,500 m, aimed at extending high‑grade historic intercepts near hole 95‑04 with spacing of 50–75 m.
  • Location Advantage: Arrowhead sits adjacent to producing mines in the Abitibi Gold Belt (e.g., Agnico Eagle’s LaRonde Complex).
  • Qualified Person: Yvan Bussieres, P.Eng., independent QP, has approved the technical content of this release.
  • Forward‑Looking Statements: The announcement contains forward‑looking information regarding future drilling results, financing needs, and market conditions; actual outcomes may differ materially.
