(TSX.V: OPW / OTC: OPWEF / FRANFURT: OE5A)("Opawica" / the "Company") announces further assay results from its 100% owned Atikwa Lake gold and copper property located near Kenora, Ontario.\nHole AT-10-02 contains the following gold and copper mineralization within the overall footwall corridor known as the "Maybrun FW" zone which has a true width of approximately 200m. Within the Maybrun FW zone are several gold and copper intercepts.\n\n\n >\n\n\nHole AT-10-02 was drilled about 65m on strike and at approximately the same vertical depth (300m) as hole AT-10-01 announced by the Company on April 23, 2010.\nAssay results are pending for AT-10-03 which is drilled on the same line as hole AT-10-02 and is about 150m deeper than holes AT-10-01 and 02. Hole AT-10-04 is drilled about 300m on strike from hole AT-10-03 to the same vertical depth of approximately 450m. All 4 holes drilled under the current program have intersected the 200m wide Maybrun FW corridor which underlies the near surface Maybrun Main zone and open pit mineral resources. The Maybrun FW is primarily represented by a breccia zone within altered andesites and some grey porphyry. These rocks contain varying amounts of intermittent sections, or stringers, of chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite.\nAssaying of the above drill core from the Atikwa Lake property was completed by Swastika Laboratories of Kirkland Lake, Ontario\nMr. Robert Laakso, P.Eng., is the Qualified Person for the Atikwa Lake property and he has reviewed the contents of this release.\n\nNeither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
