About Great Pacific Gold
Great Pacific Gold’s vision is to become the leading gold -copper development company in Papua New
Guinea ("PNG"). The Company has a portfolio of exploration-stage projects in PNG, as follows:
• Wild Dog Project: the Company’s flagship project is located in the East New Britain Province of
PNG. The project consists of a large -scale epithermal target, the Wild Dog structural corridor,
stretching 15 km in strike length, with geophysical data suggesting significant depth extent . The
survey also highlighted the Magiabe porphyry target, adjacent to the epithermal target and
potentially 1,000 metres in diameter and over 2,000 metres deep. Drilling of the epithermal
structure on the Sinivit target has yielded high-grade results, including WDG-08 which intercepted
8.4 metres at 50 g/t AuEq from 154 metres. The current drilling program will extend into 2026
with the second drill rig now operational.
• Kesar Project: located in the Eastern Highlands Province of PNG and contiguous with the mine
tenements of K92 Mining Inc. ("K92"), the Kesar Project is a greenfield exploration project with
several high -priority targets in close proximity to the property boundary with K92. Multiple
epithermal veins at Kesar are on strike and have the same orientation as key K92 deposits, such
as Kora. Exploration work to date by the Company at the Kesar Project has shown that these veins
have high grades of gold present in outcrop and very elevated gold in soil grades, coincident with
aeromagnetic highs. The Company conducted a diamond drill program on key target areas at the
Kesar Project from November 2024 to May 2025 and have developed a follow-up Phase 2 program
for 2026.
• Arau Project: also located in the Eastern Highlands Province of PNG, the Arau Project is south of
and contiguous to the mine tenements of K92. Arau contains the highly prospective Mt. Victor
exploration target with potential for a high sul phidation epithermal gold -base metal deposit. A
Phase 1 Reverse Circulation drilling program was completed at Mt. Victor in August 2024, with
encouraging results. The Arau Project includes the Elandora licence, which also contains various
epithermal and copper-gold porphyry targets.
The Company also holds the Tinga Valley Project in PNG.
