April 8th, 2025 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, B.C. – Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE: A2PEAD) (OTC: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”), a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on precious and base metal projects in the Abitibi gold belt, is providing an update on its 2025 exploration campaign at the Bazooka Property (“Bazooka”) in Quebec, Canada. The Company has completed ten diamond drill holes for a total of 2000 meters of drilling and submitted 610 core samples for assays to determine the mineral composition and grade.


Of the ten drill holes collected, our team has successfully intersected the iconic Cadillac-Larder fault multiple times, revealing promising mineralization which underscores local understanding of mineralization patterns. The Cadillac-Larder Lake fault is a major structural element in the Abitibi greenstone belt, known for its rich mineralization and geological backbone supporting dozens of commercial mines in the region.


Sample drill hole OP-25-27 was completed at a depth of 171 m. Between 114 and 156.5 m, we intersected a fine-grained greenish-olive-grey rock. Serecite formation is present throughout, with localized occurrences containing fuschite and silicification pulses, slightly fractured except for a small area between 145.5 and 148.0 m, likely ultramafic, where two small shear zones are observed. Arsenopyrite is present at 1-2% up to 132 m, decreasing to trace levels beyond this depth. Fine pyrite occurs at 1-2% from 148 m onward, with local vein stockwork increasing to 15% from 152 m to 156 m. (see photo below).


The Company undertook XRF readings at the following points


118.50 m As 2.20%; Au 190 ppm; Ni 1,061 ppm; Cr 4,117 ppm

130.50 m As 795 ppm; Au 11 ppm ; Ni 643 ppm; Cr 2,475 ppm

143.95 m As 828 ppm ; Au 16 ppm; Ni 1,127 ppm; Cr 1,564 ppm

156.00 m As 354 ppm ; Au 8 ppm; Ni 458 ppm ; Cr 109 ppm



X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials such as drill core. XRF analyzers determine the chemistry of a sample by measuring the fluorescent (or secondary) X-ray emitted from a sample when it is excited by a primary X-ray source. The results only provide an indication of the amount of minerals present. Certified assaying of the core samples is still required to accurately determine the amount of base metal and precious metal mineralization.


Blake Morgan, CEO of Opawica Explorations, commented: “The current drill program is progressing exceptionally well, confirming our expectations with both mineralization and intercept length. Our wealth of data over the past few years has given us some very exciting drill targets. Based on previous data and past results, the team was confident that we could find significantly thicker intercepts, and that expectation has been confirmed. With over 10,000m of high priority targets on the Bazooka Property and 10,000m of high priority targets at the Arrowhead, we still have a long way to go. The assay results will reveal the full story, and we look forward to sharing them with the market as soon as possible. More drilling updates are coming soon.”


Assay core samples are being analysed at ALS Chemex lab of Rouyn-Noranda, 165 Rue Jacques-Bibeau, Quebec (an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited facility). The sampling program is undertaken by Company personnel under the direction of Mr. Yvan Bussieres, P.Eng., A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. The rock samples will undergo fire assays, 1E3 - Aqua Regia - ICPOES and select samples underwent gravimetries.


Samples of mineralization were taken at 0.5-to-1.5-meter intervals, with sample intervals being adjusted to respect lithological and/or mineralogical contacts and isolate narrow veins or other structures that may yield higher grades. The core was split in two separate sections: One half of the core, the other half is sent for analysis.


The Quality Assurance and Quality Control or QA/QC protocols are as follows: For each one hundred sample, 5 blank samples, 5 laboratory duplicates, 2 low-grade rock standards and 2 high-grade standards are inserted in the sample sequence.

Opawica Explorations' Bazooka Project: A Key Potential Asset in Abitibi Gold Rush

March 13th, 2025 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, B.C. – Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE: A2PEAD) (OTC: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”), a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on precious and base metal projects in the Abitibi gold belt, is pursuing ambitious growth objectives. With its 2025 exploration campaign at the Bazooka Property (“Bazooka”) already underway, Opawica is targeting 50-metre step-outs in areas where previous assays exceeded 10 g/t Au. In doing so, the Company aims to establish Bazooka as the next up-and-coming gold hotspot in the Abitibi Gold Belt.

Although Opawica’s market capitalization is only about $8.5 million (as of March 8, 2025) on a fully diluted basis, last year’s Lac Gold (Rouyn) Inc.’s acquisition of Yorbeau Resources Inc.'s Rouyn property set the floor on valuation expectations in the immediate region. The deal was structured with a total purchase price of C$25 million. Additionally, Lac Gold granted Yorbeau a 2% net smelter returns royalty on any minerals produced from the property.

The 2024 acquisition was driven by several strategic factors. Foremost, the Rouyn property boasts significant mineral resources with room for expansion. Furthermore, Quebec's Abitibi Gold Belt reputation as a world-class gold-producing jurisdiction played a key role in Lac Gold's decision, offering stability, investor-friendly policies, and well-developed mining infrastructure.

With the Lac Gold Rouyn Property holding a total Measured and Indicated Resources estimated at 247,000 t at 6.08 g/t Au containing 48,300 gold ounces, and Inferred Resources totaling 633,000 t at 7.79 g/t Au for 158,800 gold ounces*, Bazooka has yet to establish the same historical pedigree as Rouyn at the time of its sale. However, historical drilling campaigns from 2003 to 2005, 2017, and more recently in 2021 to 2022 have revealed significant gold mineralization on the property, with notable intercepts, including:

77.18 g/t Au over 5.8 m
7.70 g/t Au over 20.5 m
25.77 g/t Au over 7.5 m
7.86 g/t Au over 17 m
Historical high-grade intercept of 316.23 g/t Au over 1 m

These historical results indicate Bazooka’s potential—especially with the property located on the Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault Zone. This proximity holds immense significance due to its high gold potential, proven geological setting, existing infrastructure, and strong investor interest. This fault has historically hosted some of the richest gold mines in Canada, and any property in this region generally benefits from enhanced exploration success rates and commercial viability.

Along the fault zone, Bazooka covers approximately seven kilometers of this prolific geological structure, which is associated with numerous gold deposits. This mineralized zone is spatially associated with its boundaries, indicating a direct relationship between the property's gold potential and its proximity to this major structural feature.

Short- and long-term goals

With the 2025 drill program underway, the short-term goal for Opawica is simple: to execute the first phase (5,000 m) of a planned 20,000 m drill targets campaign. The Company has already conducted airborne geophysics, downhole geophysics, induced polarization (IP) surveys, ground sampling, and a Phase 1 drill program to better understand the mineralization. The ultimate objective is to confirm and expand known mineralization and work towards an official resource estimate—just as Yorbeau Resources accomplished at Rouyn.

In the long run, Opawica believes that successful execution of its plan will unlock a significantly greater valuation. This sentiment is backed up by corporate actions. Since joining Opawica in 2020, CEO Blake Morgan has become the company’s largest shareholder, personally investing between $800,000 and $1 million. This commitment exemplifies his confidence in the company’s trajectory and long-term prospects.

Fiscally, Opawica rests in a strong financial position to execute its plan after the Company raised $2.4 million between November and December 2024, bolstering its treasury for 2025. With gold prices exceeding US$2,900 per ounce and with interest in emerging gold projects at an all-time high, the Company is positioned to drive strong shareholder value in 2025.

In the meantime, investors await the next round of assay results from Bazooka, expected to be reported in the spring of 2025. Positive results could suggest that Bazooka is poised to become the next major underexplored gold discovery in the Abitibi Gold Belt. To illustrate the significance, one needs to look no further than Lac Gold’s Rouyn property, located directly to the east.

$OPWEF $OPW Opawica Drill Hole Targets 2D Seismic on the Arrowhead Gold Project in Quebec, Canada

https://www.thenewswire.com/press-releases/1LYzF2r8j-opawica-drill-hole-targets-2d-seismic-on-the-arrowhead-gold-project-in-quebec-canada.html

February 13th 2025 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, B.C. – Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE: A2PEAD) (OTCQB: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”), a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on precious and base metal projects.


One of the primaries aims of the forthcoming Arrowhead Drill Program is to evaluate targets identified through the Echo-Geotech's land-streamer 2-D seismic survey.


The Company identified four potential subvertical mineralized trends, marked in red (Figure 1). The two proposed drill holes are intended to intersect three of these trends. Historical drilling results from Arrowhead, specifically hole 81-06, which yielded 8.23 Au g/t over 0.5 m, and AR-22-14, which returned 3.91 Au g/t over 1.0 m, correspond with two of the identified trends. The upcoming drilling program aims to explore these trends at greater depths.


The blue projected drill hole (Figure 1) is set to investigate mineralized trends 8, 4, and 5. Additionally, five seismic reflectors (depicted in blue and black) will also be examined.


The green projected drill hole is designed to assess mineralized trends 8 and 4 at approximately 300 meters below the blue drill hole (Figure 1). Furthermore, six seismic reflectors (shown in blue and black) will be tested in this context.


Blake Morgan CEO stated, “Over the past few years the Opawica team has amassed a wealth of data by doing millions of dollars’ worth of exploration and drilling. The seismic survey we completed was one of the first of its kind in this region and is now used by multiple companies as it brings a data set, rarely seen by a junior mining exploration company. The Opawica team is going to use this data which shows multiple zones at multiple depth in its upcoming drill program. Abitibi is one of the most prolific gold bearing regions on earth and with multiple active mines all around us, proven high grade on the property and a massive data set. The team is confident it can deliver the high-quality results in its phase 2 drill campaign”


The drill targets were developed in partnership with ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd. and Opawica. The team combined a range of recent and historical drillhole datasets, encompassing geological, structural, alteration, mineralogical, geochemical, and 2D seismic data. This integration has enhanced the understanding of Arrowhead’s geology.


First prospecting started in 1920 on the major shear zone located in the northern part of the property. In 1926 the exploration works consisted prospecting, pitting, trenching and diamond drilling, mainly to test two shear zones containing quartz-carbonate veins with free gold. Gold values of up to 45.05 g/t were obtained over appreciable widths.

$OPWEF $OPW.V Opawica Receives Drill Permit On Its 100% Owned Bazooka Property On The Abitibi Green Stone Belt Quebecs

https://www.thenewswire.com/press-releases/1BQPFK484-opawica-receives-drill-permit-on-its-100-owned-bazooka-property-on-the-abitibi-green-stone-belt-quebecs.html

February 4th, 2025 – Vancouver, B.C. – TheNewswire - Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE: A2PEAD) (OTCQB: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”), a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on precious and base metal projects in the Abitibi gold belt in Quebec. Opawica Explorations Inc. has received a two-year drill permit on its 20 high-priority gold targets at the Bazooka Property.

The 20 drill targets were done in collaboration with ALS Geoanalytics (formally ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd). and Opawica. The team integrated various drill hole recent and legacy data sets, including geological, structural, alteration, mineralogical, and geochemistry. The interpretation of this updated drill hole database led to a cohesive three-dimensional model/geological model, fault network and orebody model, which have provided the foundation for a drilling exploration strategy at Bazooka Property.

The Bazooka Property occurs along one of the most prolific auriferous structures in the world, the Cadillac-Larder Lake Break/Fault. The Cadillac-Larder Lake Break/Fault, in part, marks the boundary between the Archean Abitibi sub-province in the north and the predominantly metasedimentary Pontiac sub-province south of the fault.

Gold mineralization on the Property occurs within mixed, up to 60m wide (estimated true width), strong quartz-carbonate-sericite and talc-chlorite schists of sedimentary and ultramafic to mafic volcanic protoliths, respectively, and is referred to as the Main Zone. The alteration and mineralization are spatially associated with the Cadillac-Larder Lake

The 20 drill targets identified at Bazooka total approximately 10,000 meters of drilling data. Using the Televiewer data the Company was able to identify four possible mineralized vein and schistosity structures that are striking northeast, west northwest, southwest and north-northwest. This resulted in the identification of two main families of mineralized veins, Family A and Family B. Family A veins predominantly strike at N042º and dip at 35º-40º, while Family B veins strike at N230º and dip at approximately 63º.


In one scenario, Family A and Family B represent an extension of veins and shear veins, respectively, in a shear-hosted gold mineralization setting. In another scenario, late northeast-striking brittle deformation is responsible for the northeast orientation of Family A, possibly indicating that the Family A and Family B veins were rotated along the northeast-striking deformation corridor.


The newly collected data was organized into thirteen wireframes, modeled using selected gold values over 0.2 g/t Au composites across four meters. This resulted in a structural model and trend that serves as the basis for the 2025 drill targets.


“CEO Blake Morgan States, The Opawica team is thrilled to now have the Bazooka drill permits in hand. With the large amount of geological data we have obtained over the past few years. The team feels very strongly about our high priority drill targets. We will now move aggressively to finalize our upcoming 2025 drill campaign.”

Other major gold mining companies, including Agnico Eagle Mines, are also located within close proximity*. Previous drilling campaigns from 2003 to 2005 found extensive evidence of gold bearing minerals on the property. Gold concentrations reached up to 316.23 grams per tonne over a 1-meter section in Hole #BA-03-02A.

The variations in gold content highlight the potential richness of the gold present within the minerals found during these exploration efforts. Opawica intends to drill these promising areas using the latest survey technology.

December 3rd, 2024 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, B.C. – Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE: A2PEAD) (OTCQB: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”), a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on precious and base metal projects. Opawica Explorations Inc. has received a two-year drill permit on its 25 high-priority gold targets at the Arrowhead property of the Abitibi gold camp. The permit allows 25 drill pad locations with short-range spacing, allowing the company to move forward quickly on any one of the targets once permitting is received.

Blake Morgan CEO and President states, “We are thrilled to have the drill permits in hand on the Arrowhead Project and we are expecting the Bazooka drill permits to closely follow. With high priority drill targets in play, the team at Opawica Explorations is eager to start drilling both its flagship properties in one of the most prolific gold bearing regions on earth. We expect to have more news regarding the drilling soon."

The 25 drill targets were done in collaboration with ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd. and Opawica. The team integrated various drill hole recent and legacy data sets, including geological, structural, alteration, mineralogical, geochemical and two-dimensional seismic data that have provided a deeper insight into Arrowhead's geology. The interpretation of this updated drill hole database led to a cohesive three-dimensional model/geological model, fault network and orebody model, which have provided the foundation for a drilling exploration strategy at Arrowhead property.

First prospecting started in 1920 on the major shear zone located in the northern part of the property. In 1926, the exploration works consisted of prospecting, pitting, trenching and diamond drilling, mainly to test two shear zones containing quartz-carbonate veins with free gold. Gold values of up to 45.05 grams per tonne were obtained over appreciable widths.
