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

underground mine sites. With our operations in close proximity to

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.
