SASKATOON, SK, May 8, 2025 /CNW/ - Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd. (TSXV: OMM) ("Omineca" or the "Company") is pleased to report the results from its 8 hole diamond drill program conducted in the winter of 2024 at the Wingdam exploration project in the Cariboo Mining District of south central British Columbia (see news release December 17, 2024 for more details). Gold mineralization was encountered in multiple zones in 6 of the 8 drill holes (see Figures 1 and 2 below). Drill holes were sampled top to bottom and from the total of 3740 meters drilled, where 2835 drill core samples and 253 QAQC samples were collected. Higher anomalous gold assay highlights include 15.10 meters of 227.25 ppb (0.23 g/t) including two meters of 870.00 ppb (0.87 g/t) gold in WD24-37. In hole WD24-35, 2.93 m of 0.224 g/t gold and 1607 ppm nickel including 0.7 m of 0.536 g/t gold and 1790 ppm nickel were intersected. These results now begin to validate the Company's theory that the lode source of the rich placer gold beneath Lightning Creek may be in the area west of the Eureka Thrust Fault, downstream of the Wingdam underground placer project. The Wingdam project is significantly underexplored and remains highly prospective for hydrothermal gold mineralization in and around the Eureka Thrust Fault.

(TSXV: OMM) (OTCQB: OMMSF) ("Omineca" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce the re-start of underground operations at the Wingdam placer gold project. D&L Mining, working with ground stabilization specialists BAT Construction Ltd., are currently setting up and preparing the underground workings in advance of re-entering the paleochannel containing gold bearing gravels beginning at the already established crosscut heading #3.

SASKATOON, SK, Sept. 13, 2024 /CNW/ - Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd. (TSXV: OMM) (OTCBB: OMMSF) ("Omineca" or the "Company") is pleased to outline the fall lode gold exploration program located in the Cariboo Mining District in south central British Columbia. The exploration program is aimed at locating the hard rock source of the rich underground paleoplacer gold found beneath Lightning Creek at Omineca's separate Wingdam underground placer joint venture project (see recent JV update news release Sept 6, 2024). From previous year's groundwork and drilling, this year's focus has narrowed substantially to a linear corridor along the NW striking Eureka Thrust Fault, which is importantly located downstream of the current underground placer workings at Wingdam. The 2024 Phase 1 drill program consisting of approximately 3,000 meters in 8 diamond drill holes has now been initiated. The drill rig has been mobilized to site with road access and drill pad construction currently underway. The Company will announce further details and updates once drilling commences.

SASKATOON, SK, Sept. 6, 2024 /CNW/ - Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd. (TSXV: OMM) (OTCBB: OMMSF) ("Omineca" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that after significant delays during the unseasonably high rainfall this summer, the company's joint venture partner D&L Mining has successfully reached the interior of the paleochannel at the Wingdam Project located in the Cariboo Mining District of south central British Columbia. In an unexpected development, even with heavy rainfall delaying haulage drift development, the interior of the paleochannel has been found to be devoid of significant water. Importantly, the dry condition of the paleochannel allows for the use of conventional mining and excavation methods using steel tunnel liner sections for ground support in place of the more complex and time consuming grouted spiling technique. The ability to use traditional mining methods is transformational for the Wingdam Project, allowing for significantly faster advancement, wider crosscuts, and lower costs without compromising safety.
