Dear Fellow Shareholders & Investors,
Our objective is to build and grow a company with significant exploration upside resulting in an increase in value for our investors. I am pleased to confirm we have achieved significant accomplishments since 2020 as we consider the terrible market conditions since 2022. The good news is that has all changed now. Opawica Explorations is ready to press ahead, capture the turn in the market and all-time high gold prices. The 2024 - 2025 season is lining up to be our most exciting one yet. We plan to kick off our phase 2 drill program on the Bazooka Property. We are also planning our phase 2 drilling program on the Arrowhead Property, fully surrounded by Agnico Eagle.
We are looking forward to an exciting end to 2024 and are delighted to have you all on board!

The continued development of corporate assets is a value generating event for Opawica shareholders. Our overall plan is to maximize value through the growth of our identified assets which will include the allocation of additional funds into the Rouyn-Noranda camp. We anticipate identifying substantial drill targets to bring to market with the strategy of understanding of the gold mineralization.
I am enormously excited to be working closely with our team and management to advance all our projects. The immediate focus is on the Bazooka and Arrowhead Properties which are both projects of considerable merit. I am extremely optimistic with our abilities to advance our projects while enhancing the value proposition for all stakeholders.
With the Gold priced at all time high’s, we are well positioned with a good cash position. Our assets have had over $5,000,000 spent on them since 2021, with 2 prior drill programs. The assets have road access, water and hydro-electric power keeping exploration costs low. We are in one of the most prolific gold earing regions on earth with multiple active mines contiguous and within 7 KMS of our assets, showing this region has massive upside.
We now have a great understanding based on the enormous amount of work completed on the structure and gold mineralisation of the region. This will assist us with the phase two drill program.
*Wasamac deposit held by Agnico Eagle publish at December 31, 2023, in the first estimate of mineral resources of measured and indicated 2.2 milion ounces of gold (27.8 million tonnes grading 2.43 g/t gold) and inferred mineral resources were 0.8 million ounces of gold (9.2 million tonnes grading 2.66 g/t gold).
Sincerely,
Blake Morgan | CEO | President
