[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, Jan. 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imperial Mining Group Ltd. (\"Imperial\") (TSX VENTURE: IPG) is pleased to announce that geophysical and geological data compilation for the Opawica Gold project has been completed and has identified important gold targets for a 1,500-m diamond drilling program during the Winter 2020 period. The drilling will follow-up on areas of historical drilling from the Central Zone target area which returned up to 6.9 g/t gold (Au) over 3.8 m and 87.7 g/t Au over 1.5 m. The Central Zone has never been drill-tested below the 125 m vertical level and is open along strike and at depth. The 100%-owned Opawica gold property is located 20 km east of Desmaraisville and is accessible via Highway 113 from Val d'Or to Chibougamau, Quebec, and by a network of forestry roads (Figure 1). GROUND MAGNETIC GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY During Fall 2019, a GPS-positioned ground magnetic survey was completed on the property over the grid in which the OreVision™ Induced Polarization (IP) survey (see Press Release: November 7, 2018) was previously carried out by Abitibi Geophysics. This new ground magnetic survey was performed by Abitibi Geophysics of Val d’Or, QC and a total of 68-km was completed by a two-men crew on October 20th, 2019. Results of this survey provide more precise definition of the gold bearing structures on the property. The NE-trending deformation corridor can be traced for over 2.2 km and two highly magnetic features are identified within this corridor. From the magnetometer data, magnetic lows were identified in the western and eastern parts of the study grid, interpreted to be related to gold mineralization alteration zones. Interestingly, some of these interpreted magnetic features, within the deformation corridor, coincide with highly anomalous IP axis interpreted from the previous OreVision™ IP survey. 3D GEOLOGICAL MODEL The 3D geological model was completed by Geologica Group Conseil of Val d’Or, QC in November 2019. All previous boreholes were compiled with an emphasis on the modelling of the quartz-carbonate veins, gold-related sulphide mineralization and the various alteration zone types described in the historical drillhole records. This model was focused on the Central Gold Zone, characterized in historical drilling as a 75-150 m wide deformation and alteration corridor consisting of sev...
