NEWS: Opawica Explorations Inc. Announces Atikwa Lake Drill Results

Posted by: AGORACOM on August 13, 2008 03:16PM

Opawica Explorations Inc. ("Opawica" / the "Company") (TSX: OPW) announces the following drill hole results from the in-fill drilling program of the Maybrun gold and copper deposit on the Company's Atikwa lake property located near Kenora, Ontario.

Opawica has previously reported on 43 of 69 holes drilled under the current program. The Company is now reporting assay results from 7 further holes.

Hole AT-08-049 has returned the most significant drill intercept to date at Atikwa Lake, for Opawica drilling, of 0.82 g/t Au (1.18 g/t Au uncut) and 0.462% Cu over 112m, including 30.40m of 2.45 g/t Au (3.77 g/t Au uncut) with 1.162% Cu, and within that interval 7m of 9.40 g/t Au(15.16 g/t Au uncut) with 3.866% Cu, and within that interval a 1m section that returned 30 g/t Au (70.29 g/t Au uncut) with 11.02 % Cu. This drill intercept ended in mineralization and is approximately 80 to 90% true width. The mineralization in hole AT-08-049 has been intersected about 20m from surface and is situated about 110m south and on strike to previously announced hole AT-08-001 which returned a true width of approximately 60m of 1.54 g/t Au with 0.389% Cu and also ended in mineralization. The gold and copper zone in hole AT-08-001 also commences about 20m from surface.

Complete assay results for the seven recently received holes are as follows:

The above drill intercepts are between 70 and 90% true width of the mineralized zones.
