SASKATOON, SK, April 28, 2021 /CNW/ - Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd. (TSXV: OMM) ("Omineca" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Mutual Aid Agreement with Osisko Development Corporation's (TSXV: ODV) Barkerville Gold Mines division located 25 kilometers east of Omineca's underground project at Wingdam in the Cariboo Mining District of south-central BC. In the event of an emergency situation or rescue operation at either site, one participant can request of the other participant to mobilize additional emergency resources and assistance. Health, safety and rescue preparation and preplanning are of vital importance in any underground mining operation.

Omineca is pleased to be working with Barkerville Gold Mines to promote effective and safe mutual aid and rescue responses at our underground mine sites. With our operations in close proximity to each other, we look forward to developing a strong working relationship regarding health and safety.

About Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd.
Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd.'s flagship Wingdam gold exploration and placer recovery project is located along the Barkerville Highway 45 km east of the town of Quesnel. The property includes hard-rock tenures totaling over 50,000 hectares (500 square kms) and in excess of 15 linear kilometers of placer claims, both encompassing the Lightning Creek valley where topographic conditions created a thick overburden which preserved a large portion of an underground channel with placer gold-bearing gravels. Omineca also has a diamond drill program currently underway exploring for the potential multiple hard rock sources of the placer gold at Wingdam.
