  Opawica Explorations Inc. 

Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire - April 7, 2022 - (TSXV:OPW) (FSE:A2PEAD) (OTC:OPWEF) (the "Company" or "Opawica") is pleased to announce that it will be a featured company on the educational documentary series "Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid" ( "Viewpoint" ). The long-running award-winning series, hosted by the well-known actor Dennis Quaid, produces educational documentaries on a range of topics including business, technology, travel, health, and culture with a focus on highlighting innovation around the world. Viewpoint is distributed nationwide in the United States through public television stations and major networks; including but not limited to CNBC, FOX Business, Bloomberg TV, Discovery Channel, History Channel, National Geographic and HLN.

 

  Background  

 

  In 2021, Viewpoint producers reached out to the CEO of Opawica Explorations Inc., Blake Morgan, as part of their search for a featured company to headline a planned episode on Junior Mining and Exploration in Canada. After several months of discussions with senior producers and writers, the Company was chosen and offered the chance to participate. Given the educational aim of the series, one of the primary goals of the episode will be to bring attention to Opawica and their impact on mineral exploration. Opawicas' use of AI technology, the CEO and elite projects fit the Viewpoint mandate and were significant contributing factors in the Viewpoint selection process.  

 

  Opawica Explorations management along with a Viewpoint production team will begin filming on May 24   th   , 2022, with content to be released to over 60 million homes in June/July of 2022.  In addition to the final products designed for television release, the Company will also retain all the high-definition raw footage (5+ hours) for potential future use.  

 

  Content & Distribution  

 

  There will be two segments produced for television release:  

 

  Public Television Segment  

 

  This documentary segment aims to educate its audience about the featured topic of the episode – in Opawicas' case – the business and technology of mining exploration in Canada. The segment is distributed via public television stations (including PBS) in all the United States. Each public television station will have the right to air the segment for one year, and on average these segments appear 45-60 times per quarter, reaching approximately 60 million households.  

 

  Educational Commercial Spot for Major Networks  

 

  This 60-second educational commercial segment is designed for distribution via major networks in the U.S.A. and it will air once nationally, and 400 times regionally in the top 100 most populous cities. Viewership is estimated at approximately   84 million households   , and all airings will occur between 6p.m. – 11p.m. prime time, in their respective time zones. Example networks which will carry the segment include CNBC, FOX Business, Bloomberg TV, Discovery Channel, History Channel, National Geographic and HLN.  

 

  Blake Morgan, President, and CEO of Opawica, noted: "We are thrilled to be selected as a featured company for Viewpoint. Opawica has been taking huge strides on its mission to become a major player in the mining industry. We have recently completed a successful drilling program with 22 holes drilled and with several of those holes containing visible gold. In addition to this remarkable feat, the Opawica team is also poised to start its phase two drill program on the Bazooka project and additionally begin drilling on its other flagship asset, the Arrowhead property, both beginning this month of April.  

 

  Opawica was responsible for paying a participation fee, and crew travel fees, for an aggregate of US$27,900. Most costs were covered through public television funding sources for the series. Viewpoint estimates that costs for a comparable, unsubsidized project (including filming, editing, airings, distribution, Dennis Quaid, ownership, licencing rights, etc.) would typically total more than US$250,000.

Copper Soars to All-time High as Trump Unveils 50 Percent Tariff on Imports

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday (July 8) that he plans to impose a 50 percent tariff on all copper imports, a dramatic escalation of his administration’s use of targeted trade restrictions on national security grounds.

Loyal to Acquire the High-Grade Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine

Loyal Metals Limited (ASX:LLM) (Loyal, LLM, or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a binding option to purchase the Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine in Queensland, Australia, one of the highest-grade copper mines worldwide, with past production totalling 3.65 million tonnes at 5.7% Cu and 260,000 tonnes at 4.5 g/t Au 1-9.

With over $4.4 million in funding, Loyal is well-positioned to revisit the high-grade Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine by deploying modern exploration techniques11.

​Copper​ Market Hit by Major Supply Squeeze as LME Inventories Drop

One of the sharpest copper supply crunches in recent memory is rattling global commodities markets, as inventories at the London Metal Exchange (LME) plummet and the spot price soars.

Bloomberg reported that as of Monday (June 23), copper for immediate delivery was trading at a premium of US$345 per metric ton over three month futures, the widest spread since a record squeeze in 2021.

That dramatic price divergence reflects the market’s acute concerns over access to physical copper, with readily available inventories on the LME falling by around 80 percent this year alone.
