Opawica ExploraƟons Inc. Announces a Conceptual ExploraƟon Target

VANCOUVER, B.C. – October 16th, 2025 - Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (OTC: OPWEF) (FRA:

OE5) (the “Company” or “Opawica”) is pleased is exploring for a Conceptual ExploraƟon Target at its

Bazooka Property, strategically located along the world-renowned Cadillac-Larder Lake Break (CLLB)

— one of the most prolific gold-bearing structures globally.

The Bazooka Property is adjacent to Yamana Gold’s Wasamac Project1, gold resource of, and lies within

a district acƟvely explored by major producers including Agnico Eagle Mines. This region conƟnues to

demonstrate potenƟal for great grade gold discoveries.

ExploraƟon Target Overview

The Company is exploring for a Conceptual ExploraƟon Target of:

 10 to 40 million tonnes

 Grading between 0.9 to 1.45 grams per tonne (g/t) gold

This exploraƟon target is based on current geological understaƟng and historical drilling, which

includes 210 drill holes totalling 51,219 meters 6. The known mineralizaƟon is hosted within a 60 -

meter-wide zone of quartz-carbonate-sericite and talc-chlorite schists, referred to as the Main Zone,

and is spa Ɵally associated with a strongly graphi Ɵc fault marking the contact between sedimentary

and ultramafic metavolcanic rocks.

The potenƟal quanƟty and grade of this Explora Ɵon Target are conceptual in nature. There has not

been sufficient drilling to define a mineral resource, and the current drill spacing is too limited to

classify any porƟon of the target as an Inferred Mineral Resource. There is no certainty that further

exploraƟon will result in the delineaƟon of a mineral resource.

Geological Highlights

The Cadillac-Larder Lake Break/Fault zone at Bazooka is characterized by a 20–60m-wide deformaƟon

corridor with intense alteraƟon including carbonate, silica, fuchsite, and tourmaline.

 Few examples of High-grade intercepts include:

 77.18 g/t over 5.79m (Hole BA5 )6

 25.77 g/t over 7.5m (Hole BZ81-3) 6

 5.0 g/t over 3.2m, including 9.8 g/t over 1.0m (Hole BA-03-01)6

 9.08 g/t over 2.11m, including 12.45 g/t over 1.0m (Hole BA-04-21)6

 11.46 g/t over 11.20m (Hole BRT-11-04)6

These intercepts confirm the presence of sulphide-bearing quartz veins with visible gold, hosted

within the most intensely altered zones of the Main Zone6.
