Diverse Mineralization and New Veins at the Property
STRONG GOLD DEPOSITS
The discovery of mineralized intercepts on the property provides significant evidence of a diverse range of minerals.
These include gold-rich Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS), similar to those at Bousquet #2 and La Ronde Gold Mine, and gold-rich polymetallic veins like those at the Doyon and Mouska gold mines.
Additionally, the property features quartz-carbonate auriferous veins, commonly associated with regional East-West trending faults and shear zones, increasing its geological appeal.
Notably, two such veins, “A” and “B,” have been identified, dipping steeply to the north and aligning parallel to the surrounding rock’s schistosity.
Further exploration suggests the presence of new mineralized veins, hinted at by previous work.
Modern exploration techniques are crucial to validate and understand their economic potential, which could significantly enhance the property’s value and mining prospects.
- The IAMGold’s Mouska mine located 8 km East to Arrowhead Property. Agnico Eagle fully surrounds the Arrowhead property and has recently conducted a significant drilling campaign to the west and north.
- Historic resources from Arrowhead zones A and B, in 1936, indicated 3,864 tonnes at 17.21 g/t Au over 0.375 m, representing a total gold content of 1,940 oz.
- Historic drill holes on the property intercepted 40 goldcopper mineralized zones, highlighting the potential for quartz-carbonate auriferous veins associated with E-W trending faults.
- Fine visible gold throughout the historical drilling and on surface.
- Geochemistry survey conducted in 2015 shows favorable VHMS-style geochemical signatures and rock alteration on the property.
- In 2022, Opawica’s drilling program consisted in 4,306 meters over 14 drillholes.
Arrowhead Property - 2021 & 2022 Work

Arrowhead 2022 – Mineralization
- Gold anomalies (> 0.5 g/t Au) spread over 800 meters East-West, from surface down to 200 meters, in the western part of the property ; similar anomalies further East.
- Eight East-West-trending subvertical hydrothermal mineralization panels, modelled in 2021, control the spatial distribution of the mineralization.
Arrowhead 2022 – Potential
- The 2022 drilling program has confirmed the historical mineralization and validated the gold prospectivity potential of the East-West trends (modelled in 2021).
- Mineralization is open laterally and at depth
