OPAWICA PROVIDES UPDATE ON ARROWHEAD DRILLING PROGRAM
Vancouver, B.C. – June 22nd, 2022 - Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE: A2PEAD)
(OTC: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”) is pleased to provide an update on its first
phase of drilling at the Company's Arrowhead Property in the Rouyn Noranda camp of the
Abitibi in Quebec.
Highlights include:
• Twelve holes have been completed on the Arrowhead, comprising 3,603 metres. Core
logging and sampling are ongoing.
• The drill program was designed to target the well-known Cadillac shear zone and the
campaign has intersected prospective geology with varying amount s of visible gold,
quartz veining, brecciation and silicification, and quartz stockwork with associated
sulphides.
• The Company has intersected a section of 16.9 meters (AR-22-04) of silicified mafic
tuff interbedded with felsic lapilli tuffs, quart-feldspar veins, and quartz veins.
Company President and chief executive officer Blake Morgan commented, "The drilling has
progressed very well, and I really like what I am seeing, especially from hole AR-22-04. It looks
like we are on the right track, in the right part of the world. We know this area holds elephant
sized deposits at depth, as the La Rhonde mine held by Agnico Eagle is located next door to
the Arrowhead Property and goes to depths over 3,000m. The Opawica team is thrilled to be
hitting visually exciting mineralisation at shallow depths.”
In drill hole AR -22-04, at 129.9m to 146.8m a section of well silicified mafic tuff interbedded
with felsic lapilli tuffs, quart -feldspar veins, and quartz veins, with bedding measured at 60⁰ -
50⁰ to core angle, pyrite varie d from 1% to 10%, and trace amounts of pyrrhotite were
intersected. Drill hole AR -22-04 was drilled at dip of 55⁰ at 187Az to a depth of 270 m. The
true thickness of this section is not known. (See figure below for picture of the drill core from
AR-22-04.)
The Arrowhead Project is mainly covered by the metavolcanites of the Blake River Group.
Strata are oriented east-west and present a subvertical dip. Volcanic and sedimentary rocks
form a series of east -west-trending, steeply dipping monoclinal panels. The sequences are
separated by longitudinal contacts parallel to the lithologies. In the southern part of Joannes
township, the Cadillac Fault runs along an east-west axis over a lateral distance of about 150
kilometres. In the province of Quebec, more than 40 gold deposits that have produced over
60 million ounces of gold in the past hundred years and are associated with this major structure
and its subsidiary faults. *

Initial prospecting on the Arrowhead started in 1920 on the major shear zone located in th e
northern part of Opawica’s 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 g/t were obtained over appreciable
widths. Two main veins, designed as A and B, were explored. This work led to underground
exploration that started in 1936. A three-compartment shaft was sunk to a depth of 154 metres.
Levels were established at depths of 60.96 m (20 0 feet), 106.68 m (350 feet) and 152.40 m
(500 feet). Drifting and crosscutting were carried out on all three levels on the A and B veins.
Assays are still pending on the Bazooka property which is an ongoing frustration. The
Company is working with the labs to exercise a timelier process.
