Great Pacific Gold Provides Wild Dog Drilling Update: Kavasuki KVH-03 Completed Following Up KVH-01 58.9 m @ 2.50 g/t AuEq; Kasie Ridge Drilling Intersects Hydrothermal Veining with Visible Chalcopyrite

Core Viewpoint - Great Pacific Gold Corp. is advancing its exploration drilling at the Wild Dog Project in Papua New Guinea, focusing on the Kavasuki epithermal gold vein system and the Kasie Ridge copper-gold target, with promising initial results from ongoing drilling activities [1][3][4]. Drilling Activities - Two drill rigs are currently operational at the Wild Dog Project, with one rig focused on the Kavasuki vein system and the other conducting the first drill test at the Kasie Ridge target [2]. - The Kavasuki vein system has a strike length of approximately 900 meters and is part of a broader 15 km mineral corridor [7][36]. - The first drill hole at Kasie Ridge (KAS-01) has shown signs of hydrothermal alteration beneath the lithocap, which is considered encouraging for the exploration model [4][20]. Kavasuki Highlights - Drill hole KVH-01 returned significant results, intersecting 58.9 meters at 2.50 g/t AuEq, including 4.6 meters at 8.56 g/t AuEq and 18.1 meters at 2.14 g/t AuEq [9][10]. - Geological logging of KVH-03 confirmed strong silica flooding and multi-phase quartz veining, indicating a robust mineralized system [3][14]. - Drilling has progressed to KVH-04, which aims to further evaluate the structural controls and continuity of mineralization within the Kavasuki vein system [15]. Kasie Ridge Highlights - The initial drilling at Kasie Ridge has intersected strong propylitic alteration with visible chalcopyrite, suggesting potential for copper-gold mineralization [4][19]. - Observations from KAS-01 indicate hydrothermal alteration beneath the lithocap, which aligns with the company's exploration model [20]. Project Overview - The Wild Dog Project is characterized by a structurally controlled mineral corridor that hosts multiple epithermal gold targets and porphyry copper-gold potential, identified through recent geophysical surveys [4][36]. - The company aims to systematically drill test these targets as part of its 2026 exploration program [5].
