Nobel Project Drill Hole Indicates Steeply West Dipping Vector

MONTREAL – Opus One Gold Corp reported that drill hole NO-25-17 from the winter drilling program on the Noyell project near the town of Matagami, Abitibi, Québec, Canada, returned 3.92g/t Au over 5.2 m from 411.5 to 416.7 m. The mineralized interval represents a true width of approximately 4.2 m within the Zone 1 structure. Hole NO-25-17 was drilled in the western portion of Zone 1 at an intermediate depth of 375m. This interval indicates that Zone 1 appears to be open to the west along a steeply west dipping vector observed up to the surface. This hole also returned an interval of 3.3 g/t Au over 2.2 m (true width of 1.8 m) in Zone 2 from 471 to 473.2 m.

Near surface hole NO-25-18 returned an interval of 3.24 g/t Au over 5.5 m (true width of 5.1 m) from 66.3 to 71.8 m. This results clearly indicate that Zone 1 remains open to the east, at least near surface. Hole NO-25-19 was drilled in the eastern portion of Zone 1 at an intermediate depth of 300 m. It clearly intersected Zone 1 but only a marginal interval of 2.07 g/t Au over 0.7 m was obtained from 375.4 to 376.1 m.

Louis Morin, CEO said, These results are again very important for the future of Zone 1. Hole NO-25-17 indicates that a steeply west dipping vector might keep the mineralized zone open to the west while hole NO-25-18 shows that the mineralization remains open to the east near surface.
