MONTREAL, Nov. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OPUS ONE Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "OPUS ONE") ? (TSX Venture Exchange: OOR), announces that it has entered into an assignment and assumption agreement dated November 21, 2022 (the "AssignmentAgreement") among Clarity Gold Corp ("Clarity") and the two original optionors (the "Optionors") pursuant to which the Company has obtained the option to acquire a 100% interest (the "Option") in the property known as the Fecteau Property located in the Province of Quebec (the "Property"). Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, Opus One has assigned all of its rights and obligations with respect to a property option agreement dated June 20, 2016, as amended September 29, 2020 (the "Original OptionAgreement") to Clarity to acquire a 100% interest in the Property.
Highlights of the Fecteau Property
30km east of Osisko Mining's Windfall Lake Project and Bonterra Resources' Gladiator Project (Figure 1).
9 mineral showings including:
Lac Fecteau Est: 2.42g/t Au over 2.65m, 1.82 g/t Au over 4.9m in drill core
Buteux-Marceau: up to 4.11 g/t Au in grab samples
Lac Pistolet: up to 1.08 g/t Au and 1.91% Cu in grab samples
Desgagné: up to 1.00 g/t Au in a trench over massive sulphide
Lac Fecteau Nord: 1.71 g/t Au over 1.5m in drill core
Lac Fecteau Porphyry: up to 7.09 g/t Au in grab samples
5 new exploration targets generated from till sampling, some of which have been followed up with an IP survey.
"With Osisko and Bonterra's continued successes on this trend and the overarching tenure of gold in the Abitibi as a whole, we are excited to continue our exploration in the belt and this project shows the mineralization, alteration and structural complexity that we look for," stated James Rogers, CEO. "We are excited to get to work advancing the targets Opus has diligently worked to define."
The Fecteau Property
The property consists of one claim block containing 107 claims for a total of 5,979.02 hectares in the Urban-Barry Windfall mining district.
The property is known to host two types of mineralization: VMS (Cu-Zn-Au) and mesothermal gold. Both styles of mineralization will be targeted during the Company's program.
VMS targets are represented in the field by numerous gossans of semi-massive to massive sulphides located along and near an east-west trending rhyolite-dacite contact observed over 10 km of strike. Past drilling near surface intersected anomalous copper-zinc intervals associated with anomalous gold.
Mesothermal gold bearing quartz veins are observed at both ends of the property (western and eastern portions) where the volcanic sequence is folded. East-west striking metric wide shear veins developed parallel to the axial plan of the folds. This drilling program will target potential down dip or down plunge extensions of the known mineralization.

As consideration for the Option, the Clarity has agreed to pay Opus One a cash payment of $60,000, payable within 15 days of the date of the Assignment Agreement.
Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, the Clarity will assume all obligations of Opus One under the Original Option Agreement to acquire the Property including, but not limited to, making certain payments of cash and issuances of common shares in the capital of Clarity (each, a "Clarity Share") to the Optionors and incurring certain exploration expenditures on the Property as follows:
