Bazooka Property
Key Location in the Abitibi
Opawica’s Bazooka property is adjacent to Yamana Gold’s Wasamac property, which boasts a proven gold resource of 1,767,000 oz. Other gold majors, including Agnico Eagle Mines, are also nearby.
Exceptional Gold Discoveries
Drilling campaigns from 2003 to 2005 found extensive evidence of gold bearing minerals on the property. Gold concentrations reached up to 316.23 grams per tonne over a 1-meter section in Hole #BA-03-02A. The variations in gold content highlight the potential richness of the gold present within the minerals found during these exploration efforts.
Untapped Gold Wealth
Earlier exploration suggests an abundance of untapped gold deposits deeper underground. Opawica plans to drill these promising areas using the latest survey technology.
HISTORICAL EXPLORATION
Past Exploration Highlights High-Quality and Abundant Gold Bearing Minerals
- 77.18 g/t Au over 5.8m
- 7.70 g/t Au over 20.5m
- 25.77g/tAu over 7.5m

During the 2003-2005 drilling campaigns, significant gold was
found, ranging from small amounts to an impressive 316.23 grams
per tonne over a 1-meter section in Hole #BA-03-02A.
TAPPING INTO RICH GOLD DEPOSITS
Notable gold bearing minerals are observed within zones measuring 15m-60m wide, featuring grey or brownish quartz veins.
Historical drilling from 2003 to 2005 revealed remarkable gold concentrations, with the highest at 316.23 g/t over 1 meter.
Drilling included 125 holes totaling 29,595 meters, confirming a large gold zone 275 meters below the surface and extending 200 meters in length.
The gold zone extends deep underground, showing there is still much more to explore.
The property has also seen extensive underground work, including tunnels and sampling that has consistently found gold, highlighting the area’s richness.
Yamana Gold’s Wasamac property, located on the southwestern border, contains significant gold reserves: 1,767,000 oz proven, 2,588,000 oz measured and indicated, and 294,000 oz inferred.
