Opawica Identifies 25 High-Priority Drill Targets Using AI Technology on Arrowhead Property

Opawica Explorations Inc. has achieved a major breakthrough in mineral exploration through the identification of 25 high-priority drill-ready zones spanning 10,000 meters on its Arrowhead Property in the Abitibi Gold Belt. The company collaborated with ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd., a global leader in artificial intelligence for mineral exploration, utilizing their proprietary Smart Targeting technology to analyze geological data across a high-resolution 5m x 5m x 5m grid. This AI-driven approach represents a significant advancement in exploration methodology, integrating millions of dollars worth of geological information to deliver unprecedented precision in mineral targeting.

The upcoming drill program features four distinct target categories with specific geological significance. The Western Zone comprises 15 drill targets totaling 4,500 meters, focusing on high-grade continuity with spacing between 100 and 300 meters. The Eastern Zone includes three drill holes covering 2,000 meters, designed to test a Z-shaped fold hinge zone connected to induced polarization anomalies. Two deep holes of 1,000 meters each are based on Echo-Geotech's 2021 2D seismic survey, while four additional drill holes totaling 1,500 meters will target high-grade historic values near hole 95-04 with closer spacing of 50 to 75 meters.

Blake Morgan, CEO of Opawica, emphasized the transformative potential of combining AI technology with traditional geoscience. The company's initial drill program demonstrated exceptional results with gold hits in every hole, providing strong validation for the expanded campaign. The Arrowhead Property's strategic location adjacent to producing mines like Agnico Eagle's LaRonde Complex enhances its significance within one of the world's most prolific gold-producing regions. The integration of advanced AI analysis with substantial exploration investment positions Opawica for what could represent a major advancement in gold discovery methodology within established mining districts.

The technical content of this exploration program has been approved by independent Qualified Person Mr. Yvan Bussieres, P.Eng., though the qualified person has not verified information regarding the Abitibi greenstone belt itself. The company cautions that mineralization on adjacent properties does not necessarily indicate similar mineralization on Opawica's properties.
