As a result, Opawica\nwas provided with a cohesive and informed geoscientific interpretation\nin efforts to help facilitate drill targeting on the Bazooka property.\nThe drill targets that were generated were derived from an\nunderstanding gained from Goldspot based on their analysis. Structural\ninterpretations and 3-D modelling were provided by Goldspot and led to\nthe development of an updated geological model which includes fold\nevents, numerous lithostratigraphic units, as well as faults.  The\nCompany completing 5,022 m of drilling over 21 drill holes on the\nBazooka and sent in a total of 1,658 rock samples, representing 2,092\nlinear metres for analysis (See Table 1).\n \n \n \n \n The 21 drill holes were completed on 18 setups testing\n18 different drill targets representing less than half of 48 drill\ntargets generated by Goldspot.  Thirty (30) Goldspot drill targets\nhave not been tested for gold mineralization.\n \n \n \n \n Gold mineralization on the property occurs within\nmixed, up to 60-metre-wide (estimated true width), strong\nquartz-carbonate-sericite and talc-chlorite schists of sedimentary and\nultramafic to mafic volcanic protoliths, respectively, and is referred\nto as the Main zone. The alteration and mineralization are spatially\nassociated with the Cadillac-Larder Lake. The break/fault zone is at\nthe base and is characterized by up to two-metre-wide (estimated true\nwidth), strongly graphitic fault. The graphitic fault generally marks\nthe contact between the sedimentary and ultramafic metavolcanic rocks.\nThis mineralization has been identified throughout the region in\nproducing gold mines like the Yorbeau Resources Inc.
