Omega Pacific Commences Maiden Drill Program at Its Williams Property
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 20, 2024 / Omega Pacific Resources Inc. (CSE:OMGA)(OTCQB:OMGPF)(FSE:Q0F) ("Omega" or the "Company") announces the start of its 2024 drill program ("Phase 1") at the Williams Property in British Columbia's Golden Horseshoe. The current drilling focuses on expanding and extending the recently uncovered mineralization at drill hole WM22-02 at the properties GIC Prospect, which ended in mineralization during the project's last drill campaign in 2022.
Current and upcoming Phase 1 exploration highlights:
- Up to 2,000m of diamond drilling, including expansion drilling along strike and at depth surrounding drill hole WM22-02.
- WM22-02 returned 50 metres of 2.2 g/t gold in 2022 and ended in mineralization, leaving its full width unknown.
- Phase 1 will execute a total of three drill holes, all from the same drill pad at GIC.
- Omega Pacific has engaged APEX Geoscience Ltd ("APEX") to coordinate and execute its Phase 1 drill program. APEX has overseen several projects in the Golden Horseshoe, including Thesis Gold's Lawyers-Ranch Project and Newmont's Tatogga Project.
Jason Leikam, Omega Pacific's CEO, commented, "The commencement of drilling at Williams is a significant milestone for our team at Omega Pacific. To fast track a more detailed understanding of the mineralization at GIC, we have arranged to expedite assaying of the first hole, which will allow us to report on program results as soon as possible this summer. We look forward to leveraging the incredible geological understanding APEX has of the Toodoggone District, who have managed and overseen discoveries and maiden resources in close proximity to our land package."
