  Location

The “Opemiska” mining property, recently optioned by PowerOre, lies within the NE portion of the Abitibi volcanic belt, adjacent to the Municipality of Chapais, some 500 km north of Montreal, Quebec, Canada (Figure 1). The claims are located within the SW quadrant of Levy Township, on NTS Sheet 32-G15, and the mineral rights extend under most of the town of Chapais.
