(TSXV:OPW) (FSE:A2PEAD) (OTC:OPWEF) (the\n“Company” or “Opawica”) has commenced the drill permitting\nprocess on its recently identified 14 high property gold targets at\nthe Bazooka Property of the Abitibi Gold Camp.\n \n \n \n \n The 14 highly favourable drill targets were done in\ncollaboration with Opawica and Gold Spot. The team has integrated and\nreinterpreted various datasets (geochemical, geophysical, geological)\nto provide a cohesive and informed geoscientific interpretation which\nhas facilitated drill targeting for the upcoming drill program at\nBazooka Property. Structural interpretations and 3D modeling by\nGoldSpot have led to the development of a refined geological model\nincluding fold events, lithostratigraphic differentiation, and the\nidentification of faults.\n \n \n \n \n Bazooka Property\n \n \n \n \n The Bazooka project is contiguous to the southwestern\nborder of Yamana Gold's Wasamac Gold Property which hosts existing\nproven and probable mineral reserves of 1.8 million ounces of gold at\n2.56 grams per tonne.

A few highlights of the most recent historical\ndrilling on the Property in 2011 by RT Minerals Corp. returned 17m at\n7.8 g/t Au and 1.86m at 29.43g/t Au.\n \n \n \n \n Gold mineralization on the Property occurs within\nmixed, up to 60m wide (estimated true width), strong\nquartz-carbonate-sericite and talc-chlorite schists of sedimentary and\nultramafic to mafic volcanic protoliths, re...
