Vancouver, B.C. – October 16th, 2024 - Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE:
A2PEAD) (OTCQB: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”) Gives company update.
Dear Fellow Shareholders & Investors,
Our objective is to build and grow a company with significant exploration upside resulting
in an increase in value for our investors. I am pleased to confirm we have achieved
significant accomplishments since 2020 as we consider the terrible market conditions
since 2022. The good news is that has all changed now. Opawica Explorations is ready
to press ahead, capture the turn in the market and all -time high gold prices. The 2024 -
2025 season is lining up to be our most exciting one yet. We plan to kick off our phase 2
drill program on the Bazooka Property. We are also planning our phase 2 drilling program
on the Arrowhead Property, fully surrounded by Agnico Eagle.
We are looking forward to an exciting end to 2024 and are delighted to have you all on
board!
Accomplishments since 2021:
• Identification of 59 High Priority drill targets on our Bazooka Property.

The continued development of corporate assets is a value generating event for Opawica
shareholders. Our overall plan is to maximize value through the growth of our identified
assets which will include the allocation of additional funds into the Rouyn-Noranda camp.
We anticipate identifying substantial drill targets to bring to market with the strategy of
understanding of the gold mineralization.
I am enormously excited to be working closely with our team and management to advance
all our projects. The immediate focus is on the Bazooka and Arrowhead Properties which
are both projects of considerable merit . I am extremely optimistic with our abilities to
advance our projects while enhancing the value proposition for all stakeholders.
With the Gold priced at all time high’s, we are well positioned with a good cash position.
Our assets have had over $5,000,000 spent on them since 2021, with 2 prior drill
programs. The assets have road access, water and hydro- electric power keeping
exploration costs low. We are in one of the most prolific gold earing regions on earth with
multiple active mines contiguous and within 7 KMS of our assets, showing this region has
massive upside.
We now have a great understanding based on the enormous amount of work completed
on the structure and gold mineralisation of the region. This will assist us with the phase
two drill program.
