OPAWICA EXPLORATIONS INC. DRILLS 28M OF MINERALIZATION WITH STRONG XRF READINGS

Opawica Explorations Inc. is providing an update on its 2025 exploration campaign at the Bazooka property.

In drill hole OP-25-31, Opawica Explorations intersected a broad 28-metre zone of shearing, silicification, quartz veining and some arsenic. The drill hole intercepted the target zone from 307 to 335 m, consisting of well-sheared, silicified and quartz veining sediments. The XRF readings of arsenic range from 1,000 parts per million arsenic at the beginning of the zone to 200 ppm As at the end of the zone. The central part of the zone maintained 1,000 ppm As. A one-point XRF reading gave a reading of 92 grams per tonne gold.

Opawica has completed it first phase of its drill program on the Bazooka property. The program consisted of 3,359 m in drilling in 14 holes. All the drill core has been split and logged. A total of 1,384 m of core was sampled for a total of 1,112 samples. All the 1,112 samples are at the laboratory for analysis.

Blake Morgan, chief executive officer, stated: "With nearly 7,000 m of high-priority targets remaining on the Bazooka property and 10,000 m [of] high-priority targets remaining on the Arrowhead, the team is eagerly awaiting assays. With multiple thick intercepts with high XRF readings of 234 g/t Au, the team has decided to await assays before making its next drilling move. So far, we have been ecstatic with what we have been seeing: multiple thick intercepts with fantastic XRF reading for gold and nickel and, on top of that, visible gold. We will have some more updates shortly and hope to get the assays back over the next few weeks."

Assay core samples are at the ALS Chemex lab of Rouyn-Noranda, Que. (an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited facility). The sampling program is undertaken by company personnel under the direction of Yvan Bussieres, PEng. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. The rock samples will undergo fire assays, 1E3 (aqua regia) and ICP/OES, and select samples underwent gravimetries.

X-ray fluorescence is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials such as drill cores. XRF analyzers determine the chemistry of a sample by measuring the fluorescent (or secondary) X-ray emitted from a sample when it is excited by a primary X-ray source. The company notes the results only provide an indication of the amount of minerals present. Certified assaying of the core samples is required to accurately determine the amount of base metal and precious metal mineralization.

Samples of mineralization were taken at 0.5-metre-to-1.5-metre intervals, with sample intervals being adjusted to respect lithological and/or mineralogical contacts and isolate narrow veins or other structures that may yield higher grades. The core was split in two separate sections: one-half of the core and the other half were sent for analysis.

Yvan Bussieres, PEng, reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release. The qualified person has been unable to verify the information on the adjacent properties. Mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby and/or geologically similar properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the company's properties.
