Opus One Gold Corp. (OOR) has released new results from its winter drilling program at the Noyell Gold Project in Quebec.

The Noyell property is located 10 kilometres east of the Vezza Gold Mine, a historical gold producer in that area of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.

Opus One drilled 5,104 metres in 12 holes on the property this winter. The announcement today included unreleased results from three drill holes in the Main Zone:

  • NO-21-07, which intersected 2.38 g/t gold over 2 metres;
  • NO-21-08, which intersected 0.72 g/t gold over 0.6 metres; and
  • NO-21-12, which completed the program and intersected promising grades of 6.02 g/t gold over 2.5 metres.

The three holes were drilled near two successful holes from the 2020 drill program. So far, exploration has revealed that the Main Zone extends over 600 metres across and down 350 metres from surface.

Less than 10,000 metres of drilling has been completed on this zone so far, by four different operators, indicating that the discovery is still at an early stage of exploration.

Louis Morin, CEO of Opus One, commented that the company is happy with the results of its winter drill program.

“We got a better picture of our gold bearing ore body that remains totally open towards west and depth,” he remarked. “We found that our ore body has a remarkably simple geometry. This is especially encouraging as our drill holes were done at shallow depth and frequently, economical gold deposits tend to be located at depth in Abitibi area.”

“We achieved among the least expensive exploration program cost in Quebec province,” he added. “This is compliant to our commitment in using efficiently our investors money on the ground.”

All samples collected during the winter of 2021 drill program were prepared and assayed at ALS Minerals, a certified laboratory in Vancouver.

Opus One Gold Corp. is a mining exploration company that focuses on discovering gold deposits in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt in northwestern Quebec.

Opus One Gold Corp. (OOR) is steady, trading at $0.04 per share.
