Core Insights - South Pacific Metals Corp. has announced the discovery of new gold-copper mineralized zones at Golkona South, part of the Anga Project in Papua New Guinea, which is adjacent to K92 Mining's tenements in a highly prospective gold-copper district [1][4]. Summary by Sections Highlights - A 2.2 × 1.1 km gold in soil anomaly has been identified, with peak values reaching 1080 ppb Au, marking the highest soil gold values reported on the Anga project to date [5]. - Two zones of high copper (over 1000 ppm Cu) and silver (over 250 ppb Ag) have been detected, with peak results of 3,397 ppm Cu and 2,160 ppb Ag [5]. - Panned concentrate samples from streams in Golkona South show up to 282 ppm Au, indicating a local source [5]. - The anomalous area aligns with mobile MT conductivity features, correlating with known deposits in the Kainantu region [5]. Next Steps - The company plans to continue geochemical sampling at Golkona South and the adjacent Golkona prospect, along with geological reconnaissance and mapping to better understand the mineralization [5]. - This information will assist in defining initial drill targets for further exploration [5]. Company Overview - South Pacific Metals Corp. is an emerging gold-copper exploration company with a land package of 3,100 km² and four projects in Papua New Guinea, including Anga, Osena, Kili Teke, and May River [13][14]. - The company is strategically located within the high-grade Kainantu Gold District, with potential for similar mineralization as that found in K92 Mining's tenements [14].
