(TheNewswire)

VANCOUVER, B.C. – TheNewswire- October 16th, 2025 - Opawica Explorations Inc.(TSXV: OPW) (OTC: OPWEF) (FRA: OE5) (the “Company” or“Opawica”) is pleased is exploring for a Conceptual ExplorationTarget at its Bazooka Property, strategicallylocated along the world-renowned Cadillac-Larder Lake Break (CLLB) — one ofthe most prolific gold-bearing structures globally.

The Bazooka Property is adjacent to Yamana Gold’s Wasamac Project 1 , gold resource of, and lies within a district activelyexplored by major producers including Agnico Eagle Mines .This region continues to demonstrate potential for great grade golddiscoveries.

Exploration Target Overview

The Company is exploring for a Conceptual Exploration Target of:

• 10 to 40 million tonnes

• Grading between 0.9 to 1.45 grams pertonne (g/t) gold

This exploration target is based on current geologicalunderstating and historical drilling, which includes 210 drill holes totalling 51,219meters 6 . The known mineralization is hosted within a60-meter-wide zone of quartz-carbonate-sericite and talc-chlorite schists , referred to as the Main Zone , and is spatially associated with astrongly graphitic fault marking the contact between sedimentary andultramafic metavolcanic rocks.

The potential quantity and grade of this ExplorationTarget are conceptual innature . There has not been sufficient drillingto define a mineral resource, and the current drill spacing is toolimited to classify any portion of the target as an Inferred MineralResource. There is nocertainty that further exploration will resultin the delineation of a mineral resource.

Geological Highlights

The Cadillac-Larder LakeBreak/Fault zone at Bazooka is characterized bya 20–60m-wide deformationcorridor with intense alteration including carbonate, silica, fuchsite,and tourmaline .

• Few examples of High-grade intercepts include:

• 77.18 g/t over 5.79m (Hole BA5)

• 25.77 g/t over 7.5m (Hole BZ81-3)

• 5.0 g/t over 3.2m , including 9.8 g/tover 1.0m (Hole BA-03-01) 6

• 9.08 g/t over 2.11m , including 12.45 g/tover 1.0m (Hole BA-04-21)

• 11.46 g/t over 11.20m (HoleBRT-11-04)

These intercepts confirm the presence of sulphide-bearing quartz veins with visible gold, hosted within the most intensely alteredzones of the Main Zone 6 .
