Opawica Explorations Commences Permitting Process in Newfoundland

(TheNewswire)



TheNewswire - June 1 6 2021 - Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV:OPW) (FSE:A2PEAD) (OTC:OPWEF) (the "Company" or "Opawica") is pleased to announce that it has commenced the permitting process for its mineral properties held in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Blake Morgan, President and CEO of the Company, commented: "Opawica has an extensive land position in Newfoundland including the Density, Mass, Eclipse, Enterprise, Chapel Island and Lil d'Espoir Lake projects.  We are now fully funded and enthusiastic to start the process to get our prospecting permits in place. We are excited to move forward our Newfoundland assets."

Density, Mass and Eclipse gold projects are located within Newfoundland's Central Gold Belt; a northeast trending structural zone bounded by the Red Indian Line (RIL) on the north and the Valentine Lake shear zone to the south. These regionally extensive fault zones are deep crustal sutures which localize deformation and fluid flow and host orogenic-style gold bearing quartz veins and stockwork zones within the Central Gold Belt. Geological maps and historical geophysical surveys show the complex architecture of faulting and folding characteristic of the Central Gold Belt. The host rocks are largely Early Cambrian to Late Ordovician Victoria Lake Supergroup consisting of calc-alkalic volcanic rocks that are intercalated with and overlain by volcanogenic sandstone and shale overlain by thick Caradocian graphitic shales.

Enterprise, Chapel, Lil d'Espoir Lake gold projects are located in the Exploits Sub zone. Gold deposition in the Exploits Subzone had been found in secondary and tertiary structures crosscutting siliciclastic sediments bounded by the Gander River Ultramafic Belt (GRUB line). The Exploits Subzone is a large, tectonically defined region within the Dunnage Zone in central Newfoundland.

The Exploits Subzone is characterized by where the volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Dunnage Zone are in structural contact with sediments of the Gander Zone along the GRUB line. The GRUB line is a major thrust fault and marks a zone of multiple faults and shears containing dismembered ophiolitic (ultramafic) rocks.

Newfoundland Projects – Regional Overview

Newfoundland has long been known to have a large number of gold occurrences with relatively little modern exploration. Historical production from the Hope Brook, Nugget Pond, and Point Rousse projects have been typical of the province's mines with relatively modest production from high grade deposits. More recently, important significant drill intersections such as those announced by New Found Gold Corp. include 146.2 g/t Au over 25.6m (New Found Gold Corp. press release May 21, 2021) 1 and those contributing to the growth of a premier gold exploration jurisdiction.  These continue to provide positive results leading to extensive staking and expanded land holdings within Newfoundland's Central Gold Belt giving rise to a modern-day gold rush.

Robert Wares, CEO of Osisko Metals (TSXV:OM,OTCQX:OMZNF), shared insights on the company's Gaspé copper project, highlighting strong government support and significant resource growth.

Ramp Metals Eyes Potential Copper Discovery at Saskatchewan Project, CEO Says

Following its recent gold discovery at the Rottenstone SW project in Saskatchewan, Ramp Metals (TSXV:RAMP) may again be sitting on a new potential significant discovery: copper.

“We found some really interesting stuff on site, especially at this new Rush target that we weren't really expecting,” said Jordan Black, CEO of Ramp Metals. The Rush target, identified as a 1,200 meter conductor, exhibits disseminated sulfides with malachite staining — a green patina often associated with copper deposits.

The discovery suggests the possibility of substantial underlying deposits.
