February 13th 2025 – TheNewswire - 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.


One of the primaries aims of the forthcoming Arrowhead Drill Program is to evaluate targets identified through the Echo-Geotech's land-streamer 2-D seismic survey.


The Company identified four potential subvertical mineralized trends, marked in red (Figure 1). The two proposed drill holes are intended to intersect three of these trends. Historical drilling results from Arrowhead, specifically hole 81-06, which yielded 8.23 Au g/t over 0.5 m, and AR-22-14, which returned 3.91 Au g/t over 1.0 m, correspond with two of the identified trends. The upcoming drilling program aims to explore these trends at greater depths.


The blue projected drill hole (Figure 1) is set to investigate mineralized trends 8, 4, and 5. Additionally, five seismic reflectors (depicted in blue and black) will also be examined.


The green projected drill hole is designed to assess mineralized trends 8 and 4 at approximately 300 meters below the blue drill hole (Figure 1). Furthermore, six seismic reflectors (shown in blue and black) will be tested in this context.


Blake Morgan CEO stated, “Over the past few years the Opawica team has amassed a wealth of data by doing millions of dollars’ worth of exploration and drilling. The seismic survey we completed was one of the first of its kind in this region and is now used by multiple companies as it brings a data set, rarely seen by a junior mining exploration company. The Opawica team is going to use this data which shows multiple zones at multiple depth in its upcoming drill program. Abitibi is one of the most prolific gold bearing regions on earth and with multiple active mines all around us, proven high grade on the property and a massive data set. The team is confident it can deliver the high-quality results in its phase 2 drill campaign”


The drill targets were developed in partnership with ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd. and Opawica. The team combined a range of recent and historical drillhole datasets, encompassing geological, structural, alteration, mineralogical, geochemical, and 2D seismic data. This integration has enhanced the understanding of Arrowhead’s geology.


First prospecting started in 1920 on the major shear zone located in the northern part of the property. In 1926 the exploration works consisted 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.

$OPWEF $OPW.V Opawica Receives Drill Permit On Its 100% Owned Bazooka Property On The Abitibi Green Stone Belt Quebecs

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.”
