Opawica Explorations Discovers Promising Gold Mineralization in Abitibi Gold Belt

Canadian mineral exploration company Opawica Explorations has revealed promising results from its 2025 exploration campaign at the Bazooka Property in the Abitibi Gold Belt. Drilling operations uncovered a substantial 76-meter mineralized zone containing visible gold, marking a potentially significant development for the company's exploration efforts.

The mineralized interval, located between 285 and 361 meters depth, includes visible gold discovered in drill hole OP-25-33 at 348.5 meters. The zone features consistent occurrences of arsenopyrite, fuchsite, and quartz veining, indicating complex geological conditions potentially favorable for gold deposits.

The exploration program completed ten diamond drill holes totaling 2,000 meters, with 610 core samples submitted for assay analysis. The drilling successfully intersected the historically significant Cadillac-Larder Fault multiple times, providing enhanced insights into local mineralization patterns.

The Bazooka Property is strategically located along the Cadillac-Larder Lake break, one of the world's most prolific auriferous structures. The property's geological setting, characterized by a mixed sequence of altered quartz-carbonate-sericite and talc-chlorite schists, suggests potential for significant mineral resources.

Blake Morgan, CEO of Opawica Explorations, emphasized the encouraging nature of encountering visible gold at an early stage of the exploration program. The company anticipates providing further updates and awaits final assay results to fully assess the site's potential.

The discovery highlights the ongoing exploration and potential economic opportunities within the Abitibi Gold Belt, a region known for its rich mineral deposits and historical mining significance.
