Opawica Identifies 25 High Priority Drill Targets on its Arrowhead Property in the Abitibi Gold Belt

Opawica Identifies 25 High Priority Drill Targets on its Arrowhead Property in the

Abitibi Gold Belt

Vancouver, B.C. – The Newswire – October 22nd, 2024 - Opawica Explorations Inc.

(TSXV:OPW) (FSE:A2PEAD) (OTC:OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”) is pleased to

announce that is has identified high-priority drill targets at its Arrowhead Property in the Abitibi

Gold Belt using the advanced artificial intelligence services of ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd

(“Goldspot”). Specifically, GoldSpot and Opawica generated gold targets using a “Smart

Targeting” approach which uses AI data-driven methods encompassing both numeric and

interpreted layers on a 5m x 5m x 5m grid cell stack of layers. Integrated results outlined 20 zones

of high-priority drill ready targets and additional targets for general exploration.

In the western part of the Property, 15 drill targets have been identified totaling 4,500 meters. The

majority of the proposed drill holes aim to test the continuity of gold mineralization focusing on the

highest gold values in the area with 100-300 meter spacing. In the eastern part of the Arrowhead

Property, three drill holes totaling 2,000 meters are proposed to test a fold hinge zone of an

interpreted local Z-shaped fold, which is associated with IP anomalies in a resistive zone. The

first drill hole will be drilled to the north to test the modeled mineralized seismic data.

Based on Echo-Geotech's 2021 land-streamer 2D seismic survey, four potential mineralized

trends were identified, leading to the proposal of two drill targets, each 1,000 meters deep.

Additionally, four drill holes totaling 1,500 meters are planned to follow up on high historic gold

values in hole 95-04, which is spatially associated with a VLF axis and a probable contact between

felsic and intermediate volcanic rocks. These drill holes are designed with 50-75 meter spacing

for more detailed follow-up.

"Our team is excited to leverage AI technology to optimize our ability to target known

mineralization targets on Arrowhead," said CEO Blake Morgan. "By integrating cutting-edge

machine learning with traditional exploration methods, we're able to uncover opportunities with

greater precision, thus increasing the probability of a significant discovery. We know this is one

of the most prolific gold bearing regions on earth, the team feels this drill program could really

showcase to the market that Opawica Explorations is on to something big. "
