Visible Gold Found: Unlocking Untapped Wealth
Visible gold has been discovered in the rock, showcasing its rich promise. Past drilling revealed impressive gold amounts, with results of 1.02 grams per tonne over nearly 1 meter and 7.79 grams per tonne over 3 meters. These findings highlight the area’s rich potential and the exciting possibilities for significant gold discoveries.
Prime Location for Gold Investment
The McWatters property is next to the eastern boundary of the Yourbeau Astoria property, known for its mining history and potential for open-pit mining, highlighting strong regional
Tapping into New Gold Discoveries
Earlier exploration suggests the presence of gold bearing minerals at depth underground. Opawica plans to drill these promising targets using the latest survey technology.
- Strategic location along the Cadillac Fault Zone.
- Contiguous with the east boundary of the Yorbeau Astoria property where past mining has extended a shaft to 515 metres below surface. Between 1990 and 1995, 163 122 tons at 5.32 g/t Au were extracted from the Astoria mine.
- Visible gold reported (R-2 drill hole), associated with quartz veins in deformation zones.
- Historical drill results are:
- 1.03 g/t Au over 0.91 metres (W-1)
- 1.26 g/t Au over 0.34 metres (A-86-11)
- 1.1 g/t Au over 0.5 metres (87-14)
- 7.89 g/t Au over 3.05 metres (P.S.1)
- The McWatters property has seen limited past exploration, but several gold showings have been identified both within and in the surrounding area.
