About Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd.

Omineca Mining and Metals' flagship Wingdam gold exploration and placer recovery project is located 45 km east of Quesnel B.C. on the Barkerville highway.  The Wingdam property includes mineral tenures totalling over 50,000 hectares (500 square km) and in excess of 15 linear kilometers of placer claims, both encompassing the Lightning Creek valley where topographic conditions created thick layers of overburden, which preserved a large portion of a buried paleochannel containing placer gold-bearing gravels.  Omineca also has a diamond drill program under way exploring for potential multiple hard rock sources of the placer gold at Wingdam.
