OPAWICA ACQUIRES DRILL READY CORNWALL BC PROPERTY

Opawica Explorations Inc. has acquired the Cornwall property located in the Kootenay terrane of southeastern British Columbia.

Past work on the Cornwall property has outlined a 2.4-kilometre-long north-northwest-trending linear copper-in-soil anomaly. Zinc, lead and barium in soil define a linear feature of similar dimension and orientation, which is offset roughly 175 metres to the west of the copper horizon. This second feature has coincident chargeability, TEM (transient electomagnetic) and magnetic anomalies, suggesting potential for massive sulphide mineralization.

The copper showings on the Cornwall property consist of pyrite and chalcopyrite hosted in a quartz-rich amphibolite. Mineralization is consistent with Besshi-type or Cyprus-type VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide) exhalative sulphides deposited in a mafic volcanic environment. The South, Dunn Creek and Dunn Road showings appear to be on the same sulphide-bearing stratigraphic horizon which has been tentatively traced along a strike length of over two km. The North showing is similar in character but appears to be off stratigraphic trend from the other showings.

The copper horizon is clearly delineated by copper-in-soil anomalies in both the 1997 and 2011 surveys. The Zn-Pb-Ba anomaly is coincident with a distinct linear chargeability anomaly defined in a 1997 survey conducted by Phelps Dodge. The anomalous zone is also coincident with a strong conductor defined by a 2011 TEM survey. Phelps Dodge drilled the chargeability anomaly in 1997, but the holes appear to be short, and did not cross the core of the EM-defined conductor.

The linear conductor in the Dunn Creek area is the most interesting exploration target on the property. There are, however, several other sites with coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies that warrant further investigation.

• Target 1 possesses a number of encouraging coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies and is considered drill ready;
• Target 2 is a strong chargeability anomaly with coincident zinc-in-soil and magnetic susceptibility anomalies very similar to target 1. It is possible that this is a continuation of the tentative mineralized horizon located in the target 1 area which is offset along a northeast-trending fault;
• Target 3 possesses coincident chargeability, magnetic and barium anomalies, and is possibly a northwest-striking continuation of target 1;
• Targets 4 and 5 are isolated small conductors defined by the TEM survey that was conducted north of Cape Horn Creek.

The targets located on the property are summarized below:

• Target 1 (stratigraphic feature west of the Dunn Creek showings area):
  • Over two km long linear multiparameter anomaly;
  • Coincident zinc-, lead- and barium-in-soil anomalies;
  • TEM conductor;
  • Induced polarization chargeability feature;
  • Low resistivity -- sporadic high magnetic susceptibility.
• Target 2 (south of Dunn Creek):
  • Strong chargeability feature;
  • Coincident resistivity low;
  • High magnetic susceptibility;
  • Zinc-in-soil anomalies.
• Target 3 (northwest of target 1, possible continuation):
  • Chargeability feature;
  • Magnetic anomalies;
  • Barium-in-soil anomalies.
• Target 4 (north of Cape Horn Creek):
  • TEM conductor;
  • Copper-in-soil anomalies.
• Target 5 (North showing, Zappa trench):
  • Mineralization;
  • TEM anomaly.

The company has agreed to issue 10 million common shares and pay $20,000 in cash to arm's-length vendors. The agreement is subject to a 2-per-cent net smelter royalty of which 1 per cent can be purchased for $1-million.
