QC Copper and Gold Inc. announced new assay results from its ongoing drill program on Opemiska. The majority of these reported intersections are within the Saddle Zone, a critical expansion area for the open pit. The Saddle Zone was never mined and existed in between the former producing Springer and Perry mines.

Several holes returned wide copper mineralized intervals, including OPM-21-123: 93 metres at .45% CuEq starting at 6 metres downhole, and OPM-22-126: 100 metres at .42% CuEq starting at 60 metres downhole. The composite intervals are quoted "as is" and do not necessarily represent true widths of mineralization. However within the deposit there are veins in several directions and these reported holes are all drilled to the south to intersect the east-west trending veins which dip to the north and suggests the intervals are near true width.

As of March 13 a total of 6,640 metres in 31 holes have been completed on the property for the winter 2022 drilling program.
