Core Viewpoint - Great Pacific Gold Corp. is mobilizing a second drill rig to its flagship Wild Dog Project in Papua New Guinea to accelerate its drilling program, focusing on both epithermal and porphyry targets [1][3]. Company Developments - The second drill rig is being provided by Zenex Drilling, which will enhance the company's drilling capabilities at the Wild Dog Project [1][7]. - The current drill program has shown success, leading to increased confidence in the potential for significant mineralization at depth, particularly at the Sinivit target [3][4]. - The company plans to have the second rig operational by early November 2025 [3]. Project Details - The Wild Dog Project features a 15 km epithermal structural corridor with a vertical extent of over 1,000 meters, indicating substantial mineralization potential [6]. - High-grade drill intercepts have been reported, including 8.4 meters at 49.9 g/t AuEq and 7.0 meters at 11.2 g/t AuEq from the Sinivit target [6]. - The current Phase 1 drilling program is focused on shallow, potential open-pit mineralization, with only 10% of the epithermal target tested so far [6]. Future Plans - The second drill rig will facilitate the extension of drilling at Sinivit to greater depths and accelerate the completion of the planned 28 holes [6]. - The company aims to step out to the Kavasuki target and initiate drilling at the Magiabe porphyry target as soon as groundwork is completed [4][6]. Exploration Portfolio - Great Pacific Gold has multiple exploration-stage projects in Papua New Guinea, including the Kesar and Arau Projects, which also show promising mineralization potential [11][12].
