Drilling Update At The Wild Dog Project

VANCOUVER – Great Pacific Gold Corp. reported on the Wild Dog 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.
Sinivit Target – Northern Sulphide Shoot highlighted by intercepts: 1) WDG 15: 13.5m @ 8.08 g/t AuEq from 210.22 m (7.41 g/t Au, 0.31% Cu, 16.37 g/t Ag). 2) WDG 08: 8.4 m @ 50.12 g/t AuEq from 154.0 m (46.46 g/t Au, 1.90% Cu, 59.63 g/t Ag). 3) WDG 14: 9.5 m @ 13.72 g/t AuEq from 200.77 m (12.61 g/t Au, 0.59% Cu, 16.36 g/t Ag), and WDG 09: 5.0 m @ 4.93 g/t AuEq from 169.0 m (4.49 g/t Au, 0.22% Cu, 7.98 g/t Ag).
The WDG-16 and WDG-17 intercepted the main Wild Dog structure below the high-grade shoot. Both holes encountered a strong degree of faulting and argillic alteration with minor zones of silicification. 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 our understanding of the plunge of the system. As a result, we have elected to await assay results and a fully updated model of the Northern Sulphide Shoot prior to drilling the next hole. In the meantime, we are encouraged by the first drill core from the Kavasuki target. Based on prior shallow drilling, we 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.
Rig 2 is currently mobilizing to Kasie Ridge, which is located at the northern end of the Wild Dog Structural Corridor and has the potential for a large-scale high-sulphidation epithermal target beneath an advanced argillic lithocap extending approximately 1.5 to 2.0 kilometres in strike length and several hundred metres in width,” stated Greg McCunn, CEO. “Kasie Ridge represents a potentially significant discovery opportunity approximately 4.5 km north of Sinivit.”
