Great Pacific Gold Provides Wild Dog Project Exploration Update

Exploration Progress at Wild Dog

• Two diamond drill rigs are actively operating at the Kavasuki and Kasie Ridge targets within the 15-km Wild Dog structural corridor in Papua New Guinea.
• Kavasuki drilling has completed approximately 1,200m of a planned 1,950m program, delivering multiple high-grade gold intercepts and initiating step-out holes to test down-dip and horizontal continuity.
• The maiden Kasie Ridge hole (KAS-01) successfully intersected a large, vertically extensive sulphide-bearing hydrothermal system beneath the lithocap that remains open at depth, with assays pending.
• H2 2026 plans target 13,000m of total drilling across the Main Zone and South Zone.
• South Zone field exploration is advancing eight prospects for 2027 drilling, with high-grade gold sampled across 5km of largely unexplored epithermal vein structures.

Execution vs. Expectations

• The June 15 update is a direct follow-up to the company's previously announced 13,000m H2 2026 drilling plan and the mobilization of two rigs. It confirms that operations are proceeding exactly as outlined in prior releases.
• The Kasie Ridge maiden hole intersecting a sulphide-bearing hydrothermal system open at depth is technically encouraging but aligns with the geological model presented in earlier updates. It does not represent a new discovery or a change in the project's scale.
• The Kavasuki step-out drilling and South Zone prospecting are incremental steps in a long-term district-scale exploration campaign. No new high-grade intercepts or resource definition milestones are reported in this release.

Corporate Profile

• Great Pacific Gold Corp. is a pre-revenue exploration-stage company focused on advancing its flagship Wild Dog Project in Papua New Guinea.
• The company recently completed the spin-out of its Australian Walhalla Gold Project into a separate listed entity (Walhalla Gold Corp., CSE: WAU) in April 2026, allowing GPAC to concentrate capital and management focus on PNG assets.
• The company retains a 2% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on the Walhalla project.
