Opawica Explorations Inc. Announces a Conceptual Exploration Target Opawica ExploraƟons Inc. Announces a Conceptual ExploraƟon Target

VANCOUVER, B.C. – October 16th, 2025 - Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (OTC: OPWEF) (FRA: OE5) (the “Company” or “Opawica”) is pleased is exploring for a Conceptual Explora�on Target at its Bazooka Property, strategically located along the world-renowned Cadillac-Larder Lake Break (CLLB)

• one of the most prolific gold-bearing structures globally.

The Bazooka Property is adjacent to Yamana Gold’s Wasamac Project¹, gold resource of, and lies within a district ac�vely explored by major producers including Agnico Eagle Mines. This region con�nues to demonstrate poten�al for great grade gold discoveries.

Explora�on Target Overview

The Company is exploring for a Conceptual Explora�on Target of:

• 10 to 40 million tonnes
• Grading between 0.9 to 1.45 grams per tonne (g/t) gold

This explora�on target is based on current geological understa�ng and historical drilling, which includes 210 drill holes totalling 51,219 meters⁶. The known mineraliza�on is hosted within a 60meter-wide zone of quartz-carbonate-sericite and talc-chlorite schists, referred to as the Main Zone, and is spa�ally associated with a strongly graphi�c fault marking the contact between sedimentary and ultramafic metavolcanic rocks.

The poten�al quan�ty and grade of this Explora�on Target are conceptual in nature. There has not been sufficient drilling to define a mineral resource, and the current drill spacing is too limited to classify any por�on of the target as an Inferred Mineral Resource. There is no certainty that further explora�on will result in the delinea�on of a mineral resource.

Geological Highlights

The Cadillac-Larder Lake Break/Fault zone at Bazooka is characterized by a 20–60m-wide deforma�on corridor with intense altera�on including carbonate, silica, fuchsite, and tourmaline.

• Few examples of High-grade intercepts include:
• 77.18 g/t over 5.79m (Hole BA5 )⁶
• 25.77 g/t over 7.5m (Hole BZ81-3) ⁶
• 5.0 g/t over 3.2m, including 9.8 g/t over 1.0m (Hole BA-03-01)⁶
• 9.08 g/t over 2.11m, including 12.45 g/t over 1.0m (Hole BA-04-21)⁶
• 11.46 g/t over 11.20m (Hole BRT-11-04)⁶

These intercepts confirm the presence of sulphide-bearing quartz veins with visible gold, hosted within the most intensely altered zones of the Main Zone⁶.

Strategic Posi�oning

The Abitibi is the largest Archean greenstone belt in the world. It’s roughly 150 km the Val d’Or/Rouyn- Noranda camp the second richest gold mining district in the Abitibi.

In addition, there is significant endowments of silver, copper, zinc and lesser quantities of lithium, nickel, cobalt, platinum, palladium and molybdenum.
