Vancouver, B.C. – May 26, 2020 – Opawica Explorations Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: OPW) announces that it has amended the terms of the proposed non-brokered private placement originally announced on April 30, 2020. The original offering consisted of the issuance of up to 10,000,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $500,000. The amended offering consists of the issuance of up to 10,000,000 Common Shares of the Company (each, a “Share”) at a price of $0.05 per Share for gross proceeds of up to $500,000 (the “Offering”).
All Shares issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to resale restrictions, expiring beyond the customary statutory hold period of four months and one day after closing of the Offering.

Any participation by insiders in the Offering will constitute a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) but is expected to be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.
The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Offering will be used for project development, further work on the Company’s mineral projects, payment of trade payables and debt and working capital.
Finders’ fees may be payable in connection with the Offering in accordance with the policies of the Exchange.
None of the securities sold in connection with the Offering will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no such securities may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
