(TSXV: OPW) (FSE:\nA2PEAD) (OTC: OPWEF) (the “Company” or “Opawica”), a Canadian\nmineral exploration company focused on precious and base metals in the\nAbitibi Gold Belt is providing an update on its 2025 exploration\ncampaign at the Bazooka Property ('Bazooka').\n \n\n\n Opawica has intersected a broad\n76-meter mineralized zone\n \n , starting at a depth of 285 meters\nand extending to 361 meters, at the contact with a graphitic horizon.\nThe interval includes visible gold, with consistent occurrences of\narsenopyrite, fuchsite, and quartz veining throughout.\n \n\n\n Visible gold was observed in drill\nhole OP-25-33 at a depth of 348.5 metres.\n \n (see below).\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n The Company has completed ten diamond drill holes for a total of 2000\nmeters of drilling and submitted 610 core samples for assays. Of the\nten drill holes completed, our team successfully intersected the\nCadillac-Larder Fault multiple times, revealing promising\nmineralization that enhances our understanding of local mineralization\npatterns. The Cadillac-Larder Lake fault is a major structural element\nin the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, known for its rich and its historical\nsignificance in mining.\n \n\n Blake Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of Opawica, stated: \"To\ndate, the drilling has progressed extremely well. It is encouraging to\nencounter visible gold at such an early stage of our program. Over\n2,000 metres of core have now been sent for assays, with multiple\nthick intercepts up to 76 meters in length. The Opawica team\nanticipates providing further updates soon and looks forward to\nreceiving the final assay results.”\n \n\n The Bazooka property occurs along one of the most prolific auriferous\nstructures in the world, the Cadillac-Larder Lake break/fault. The\nCadillac-Larder Lake break/fault, in part, marks the boundary between\nthe Archean Abitibi subprovince in the north and the predominantly\nmetasedimentary Pontiac subprovince south of the fault.\n \n\n Gold mineralization on the property is hosted within the Main Zone, a\nmixed sequence of strongly alte...
