OPAWICA EXPLORATIONS ANNOUNCES NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT WITH $1,050,000 LEAD ORDER FROM STRATEGIC INVESTORS

Opawica Explorations Inc. has arranged a non-brokered private placement of up to $2.95-million through the issuance of a combination of flow-through (FT) common shares at a price of 17 cents per FT share and non-flow-through (NFT) units at a price of 15 cents per NFT unit.

Each NFT unit will comprise one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole NFT warrant is exercisable to purchase one common share at a price of 30 cents per share for a period of two years from the date of the close of the offering.

If, at any time after four months and one day following the closing date of the offering, the closing price of the company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is equal to or greater than 40 cents per share for 10 consecutive trading days, the company may, by notice to the holders of the NFT warrants (which notice may be given by way of a general news release), accelerate the expiry date of the NFT warrants to a date that is not less than 30 days following the date of such notice.

The company intends to pay finders' fees in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V. The offering is subject to approval by the TSX-V and all securities are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

Proceeds raised from the issuance of the FT units will be used by Opawica to incur Canadian exploration expenses on its Canadian gold and critical mineral properties, and will be used as deemed appropriate for qualifying expenses for the critical mineral tax credit (CMETC). Proceeds raised from the issuance of the NFT units will be used for general working capital.
