The continued development of corporate assets is a value generating event for Opawica's 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.

I am enormously excited to be working closely with our team and management to advance all our projects. The immediate focus is on the Arrowhead and Bazooka 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.

Our assets have had over $6-million spent on them since 2021, with three drill programs now completed. The assets have road access, water and hydroelectric power keeping exploration costs low. We are in one of the most prolific gold-bearing regions on earth with multiple active mines contiguous and within seven kilometres 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 mineralization of the region. This will assist us with the phase two drill program.

Sincerely,

Blake Morgan, chief executive officer and president
