Opawica Explorations Mobilizes Crew for Gold Grain In Till Sampling and Prospecting on it Newfoundland Projects

(TheNewswire)



Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSX:OPW) (FSE:A2PEAD) (OTC:OPWEF) (the "Company" or "Opawica") is pleased to announce it is mobilizing a crew to undertake a Gold Grain In Till Sampling program on all its Newfoundland projects; Chapel Island, Density, Eclipse, Mass, and Lil d'Espoir  Lake claims

Blake Morgan, chief executive officer of Opawica stated, "I am very pleased to be providing this update on our Newfoundland gold projects. We anticipate an extremely busy next few months for our Opawica exploration team and are excited to continue this momentum through to our drill campaign and beyond".

The Company's inaugural gold grain in till sampling program is an important step to determine the number of gold grains in the glacial till in order to help locate the potential source of gold on the properties. Previous work has identified areas where gold grains in till are associated with the Valentine Lake Sear Zone and the Red Indian Line shear zones which are projected to cross Opawica's claims.

The Opawica 100% owned project areas cover more than 217 square kilometres along and between the Red Indian Line and the Valentine Lake shear zone in the Central gold belt of Newfoundland. The Company's prospective holdings extend for more than 50 km along the Central gold belt, a northeast-trending structural zone extending across Newfoundland.

Newfoundland has long been known to have many 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.

Derrick Strickland, P. Geo. (1000315), is the qualified person for Opawica Explorations and has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release. The reader is cautioned that the qualified person has verified mineralization in the surrounding areas.

Copper Prices Hit 22 Month High as Supply Concerns Mount

Copper prices hit a nearly two year high this week, and according to analystsat investment bank Citigroup (NYSE:C) that's a sign the red metal has entered its second secular bull market of the century.

Over the past two months, copper has surged by more than 15.75 percent, fueled by disruptions at mining operations that have threatened refined copper production in China, a major global supplier.

“The recent disruptions to major mines are starting to ripple through the industry,” said strategist Daniel Hynes of Melbourne's ANZ Bank. “A group of 13 major copper smelters in China is preparing for a possible 10 percent production cut due to a collapse in treatment and refining charges.”

Top 5 ASX Copper Stocks of 2024

Copper has hit record highs in recent years, and after setbacks at the start of 2024 its fortune has begun to turn.

Prices rebounded to 14 month highs at the beginning of Q2 on improved global manufacturing data, encouraging economic indicators in China and supply disruptions at key mines. In the longer term, many market watchers see tight supply and higher consumption from sectors like the electric vehicle industry creating a robust outlook for copper.
