Opawica Explorations Inc. announce the acquisition of the Cornwall property located in the Kootenay Terrane of south-eastern British Columbia. Past work on the Cornwall Property has outlined a 2.4km 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 175m to the west of the copper horizon.

This second feature has coincident chargeability, TEM, 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 or Cyprus type VMS 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 2km. 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.
