History:
1939: Gold Base Mining Corporation, Ltd., carried out surface work at this location. The mineralized zone was exposed intermittently along the strike by means of pits and trenches for several hundred feet.
1997: Mr. Henry Veley in 1997 and 1998 completed considerable overburden stripping as well as cleaning out the original trenches. The mineralization was traced along the complete length of the property, a distance of 300 meters
2007: Opawica Explorations Inc. optioned the property from owner Henry Veley and completed diamond drilling and assaying.
Geology:
The deposit is situated along the contact between felsic intrusive and mafic metavolcanic rocks. The vein strikes in an east-west direction parallel to the greywackes and impure quatzites. The mineralized zone, which includes quartz, schist, and some limestone, ranges in width from a few inches to 5 feet. It has been exposed intermittently along the strike by means of pits and trenches for several hundred feet. The minerals in the zone consist mostly of pyrite, chalcopyrite, and malachite.
