Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE: A2PEAD) (OTCQB: OPWEF) has announced a comprehensive exploration update for its 100%-owned Arrowhead Gold Property in Quebec's Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The company has secured drill permits covering 25 drill-pad locations and is set to launch a roughly 10,000-metre drilling campaign to systematically test high-priority targets generated from extensive geological, geophysical, and AI-assisted studies.
The Arrowhead property, which has a century-long exploration history, includes historical high-grade gold occurrences and numerous untested targets. The upcoming program aims to test the continuity and extensions of known gold mineralization, as well as deeper targets, building on encouraging results from Opawica's inaugural 2022 drill campaign. That 4,306-metre program intersected gold zones in 11 of 14 holes, with highlights including 18.7 g/t Au over 0.35 metres and 1.52 g/t Au over 14.8 metres.
Strategically located adjacent to Agnico Eagle's producing LaRonde Complex, which has yielded over eight million ounces of gold, Arrowhead benefits from established infrastructure and a proven gold district. The property's geological setting, with shear zones and felsic tuffs hosting gold-copper mineralization, offers multiple targets for expansion.
Opawica's management believes that the combination of historical data, modern drilling, 3D modelling, and existing permits positions Arrowhead for a significant exploration phase. The planned drilling is designed to test scale and potentially unlock the property's full potential.
The company has engaged an independent Qualified Person to review the technical information, and forward-looking statements are subject to risks typical of exploration activities.
