[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, July 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OPUS ONE Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “OPUS ONE”) – (TSX Venture Exchange: OOR), is pleased to announce that it recently received assay results for gold from its winter diamond drill program on its Noyell property, located 25 km south of the town of Matagami. The property is located within the Casa-Berardi gold district, a few kilometres to the east of the former producer Vezza Mine. The drilling proposal consisted in a maximum of 10 holes totalling 2,500m. Unfortunately, because of Covid 19, only two holes could be completed before all operations were shut down by government decree. Hole N-20-01 was drilled steeply to the north (N355, -72º) to intersect the interpreted east-west striking and south dipping mineralized zones at the best possible angle. The hole was stopped at 447 m (core length) after intersecting the two interpreted gold bearing zones. The first gold zone (Zone 1) was intersected between 374.6 and 381.1 m. A first interval (one sample): 374.6 @ 375.8 m returned 6.76 g/t Au over 1.2m A second interval (two samples) : 379.5 @ 381.1 returned 3.0 g/t Au over 1.6 m The average grade for the interval 374.6 to 381.1 is: 2.05 g/t Au over 6.5 m The second gold zone (Zone 2) was intersected between 425.6 and 429.5 m. A single interval of 3 consecutive samples returned 1.60 g/t Au over 3.9 m Hole N-20-02 was also drilled steeply to the north (N355, -75º). It reached a final depth of 372m along the hole. The hole cut one major intersection and two minor ones. The major intersection is observed from 294.9 to 306.1 m and it is interpreted as being Zone 1. This interval is made up of 11 samples returning 3.54 g/t Au over 11.2 m This interval includes a richer portion of 7.96 g/t Au over 3.7 m Two other anomalous intervals were also returned from that hole: 238 to 239.7 m: 1.01 g/t Au over 1.7m and 358.8 to 360 m: 1.32 g/t Au over 1.2 m. Possibly Zone 2 Hole N-20-01: The mineralized zones consist of quartz-carbonate stockworks within a wacke carrying 5-10% Pyrrhotite, 1% Arsenopyrite and 1% Pyrite. Core angle is 55º indicating that true widths would be in the order of 70-80% of core lengths. These mineralized intervals are among the deepest (between 300 and 400 m vertical) ever returned from these structures in the...
