https://www.otcmarkets.com/otcapi/company/dns/news/document/80164/content

February 11, 2025 – 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 in the Abitibi Gold Belt, is pleased to announce plans for an extensive drill program on its Bazooka Property (“Bazooka”).

In collaboration with ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd., Opawica has identified 45 drill targets across its Bazooka and Arrowhead Properties. By integrating extensive geological, structural, alteration, mineralogical, geochemical, and Televiewer data, the Company has gained deeper geological insights that support a 20,000-meter drill program.

Quebec: A Premier Mining Jurisdiction
Quebec remains one of the world’s leading mining jurisdictions, consistently ranked among the top regions for mineral exploration by the Fraser Institute. The Abitibi Gold Belt, home to some of the largest gold producers, has a rich mining history and has yielded:

Over 300 million ounces of silver
15 billion tons of copper
35 billion tons of zinc
Tier-1 Gold Producers Surrounding Bazooka and Arrowhead
The Bazooka and Arrowhead properties are strategically located in a region dominated by major gold producers:

Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. – One of the largest operators in the Abitibi, Agnico has produced over 5 million ounces of gold from its LaRonde mine and fully acquired the Canadian Malartic Mine in 2023.
Newmont Corporation – The world’s largest gold producer expanded its presence in the Abitibi with its $10 billion acquisition of Goldcorp Inc. in 2019, adding the Porcupine Gold Mines in Timmins, Ontario.
Hecla Mining Company – Expanded its Canadian footprint with the 2022 acquisition of Alexco Resource Corp., primarily focused on silver but with future gold exploration potential.
High-Grade Gold Potential at Bazooka
To date, only 15% of the Bazooka Property has been drilled and explored, leaving 85% untouched. Historical drilling has returned high-grade intercepts, including:

7.5 gpt Au over 25.77 meters
316.23 gpt Au over 1 meter (Hole #BA-03-02A)
With gold prices rising and continued discovery potential, Opawica is committed to unlocking the full gold mineralization potential of Bazooka through this extensive drill program.

$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.”

This preparation will enable us to mobilize quickly, ensuring we are ready to begin drilling as efficiently and quickly as possible once the permits have been granted. With drill permits already approved on the Arrowhead Project the team feel permits are very close regarding the Bazooka Property.”

Opawica’s Bazooka property is adjacent to Yamana Gold’s Wasamac property, which hosts a proven gold resource of 1,767,000 oz. 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.
