Core logging and\nsampling are ongoing.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n The drill program was designed to target the well-known\nCadillac shear zone and the campaign has intersected prospective\ngeology with varying amounts of visible gold, quartz veining,\nbrecciation and silicification, and quartz stockwork with associated\nsulphides.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Company has intersected a section of\n \n \n 16.9 meters\n \n \n (AR-22-04) of silicified mafic tuff interbedded with felsic lapilli\ntuffs, quart-feldspar veins, and quartz veins.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Company President and chief executive officer Blake\nMorgan commented, \"The drilling has progressed very well, and I\nreally like what I am seeing, especially from hole AR-22-04. It looks\nlike we are on the right track, in the right part of the world. We\nknow this area holds elephant sized deposits at depth, as the La\nRhonde mine held by Agnico Eagle is located next door to the Arrowhead\nProperty and goes to depths over 3,000m. The Opawica team is thrilled\nto be hitting visually exciting mineralisation at shallow\ndepths.”\n \n \n \n \n In drill hole AR-22-04, at 129.9m to 146.8m a section\nof well silicified mafic tuff interbedded with felsic lapilli tuffs,\nquart-feldspar veins, and quartz veins, with bedding measured at\n60⁰-50⁰ to core angle, pyrite varied from 1% to 10%, and trace\namounts of pyrrhotite were intersected.  Drill hole AR-22-04 was\ndrilled at dip of 55⁰ at 187Az to a depth of 270 m. The true\nthickness of this section is not known.
