PowerOre Inc. announced that it has successfully compiled and validated results from 85 holes drilled by Explorateur Innovateurs de Québec Inc. ("ExIn") on the Opemiska Property for a total of 4,075 metres from previous drill programs conducted between 2006 and 2016. A total of four phases of drilling were undertaken on Opemiska each of which had specific objectives that were for the most part realized. In this news release Power Ore is only releasing the first phase of diamond drilling completed by ExIn that consisted of 52 near surface holes in five clusters. The drilling was targeted to intersect the crown pillars at shallow depth of several veins that were mined from underground. As ExIn is a private company the drill holes described below have never been in the public domain. Notable intersections of the 2010 drilling include: 9.0% copper equivalent, with 8.2% copper and 1.12 gpt gold over 7.5 metres in hole OP-2010-19, 2.5% copper equivalent, with 0.66% copper and 2.59 gpt gold over 24.0 metres in hole OP-2010-12, 1.0% copper equivalent, with 0.70% copper, 0.42 gpt gold and 5.1 gpt silver over 78.0 metres in hole OP-2010-03.
