Great Pacific Gold Corp. announced results and updates from its Wild Dog Project ("Wild Dog" or the "Project"), located on the island of New Britain, East New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea ("PNG"). Diamond drilling at the Sinivit epithermal gold-copper target has been ongoing since May 2025, with recent drilling focused on testing the down-plunge extension of the Northern Sulphide high-grade shoot.
These faults have likely broken up the main zone of silicification hosting the mineralization. WDG-18 intercepted the Wild Dog Structure at Sinivit target, northern depth extension with assay results pending. While awaiting results, rig temporarily moved to Kavasuki Target.
First hole KVH001 has reached 100m depth, intersecting a breccia-dominant, silica-flooded vein system characterized by multi-phase quartz veining, strong brittle fracturing and zones of well-developed sulphide mineralization including pyrite and chalcopyrite. Geological features are consistent with a robust, structurally controlled hydrothermal system. Second diamond drill rig has arrived in the Port of Rabaul, approximately 50km from the Wild Dog Project site and is being mobilized to site for drilling starting at the Kasie Ridge target.
"The Northern Sulphide Shoot is developing to be approximately 150 metres in vertical extent and approximately 500m in strike length to date, with the system remaining open at depth to the north. Hole 18 will be critical to refining understanding of the plunge of the system. As a result, the company have elected to await assay results and a fully updated model of the Northern Sulphide Shoot prior to drilling the next hole.
Based on prior shallow drilling, the company are targeting two high-grade ore shoots at Kavasuki, and the first hole has intersected a strongly mineralized, breccia-dominant quartz vein system with well- developed sulphide mineralization. Wild Dog Project: the company's 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 and potentially over 1,000 metres deep based on a recent MobileMT geophysics survey.
The current drilling program will extend into 2026 with second drill rig expecting to be operational in February 2026. The Company conducted a diamond drill rig expected to be operational in February 20 26. The company conducted a diamond drill rig with a total of 100m depth of 100m depth.
