Great Pacific Gold Intersects 59.9 m @ 1.43 g/t AuEq at Kavasuki, Including 14.0 m @ 2.69 g/t AuEq, Wild Dog Project
“Wild Dog’s Kavasuki Vein Delivers New Near‑Surface Gold‑Copper Intercept, Reinforcing District‑Scale Potential”
Great Pacific Gold announced drill hole KVH‑104 intersected 59.9 m @ 1.43 g/t AuEq (including 14.0 m @ 2.69 g/t AuEq and 7.5 m @ 2.78 g/t AuEq) at the Kavasuki target of its flagship Wild Dog Project in Papua New Guinea. The hole confirms a broad, structurally complex epithermal system extending >1 km north of the historic Sinivit deposit along the 15‑km Wild Dog corridor. Geological logging shows well‑developed quartz‑carbonate veining, hydrothermal brecciation and sulphide mineralisation from surface to ~33 m depth, indicating vertical continuity. Assays are pending for KVH‑105 but the geological evidence supports a continuous mineralised envelope.
- New information: The intersect is the first near‑surface, >50 m interval reported at Kavasuki with confirmed grades and structural continuity. Earlier releases (e.g., 58.9 m @ 2.5 g/t AuEq on 2026‑03‑11) demonstrated high grade but over a shorter length; KVH‑104 adds both length and near‑surface exposure.
- Market relevance: The Wild Dog corridor is the company’s primary value driver. Extending the known mineralised envelope improves confidence in a district‑scale resource, which can materially affect valuation models used by analysts.
- Expectation vs. surprise: While continued drilling success was anticipated (the program has been “high‑grade”), the specific combination of length (>59 m) and near‑surface continuity exceeds routine expectations, justifying a Material – Positive rating.
- Alignment with prior guidance: The company previously projected that Kavasuki would host a >1 km continuous epithermal system. This result validates that projection and narrows geological uncertainty.
Great Pacific Gold Corp. is a junior explorer focused on gold‑copper epithermal systems in Papua New Guinea, principally the Wild Dog Project (15 km structural corridor). The project hosts multiple targets: historic Sinivit vein, Kavasuki vein system, Kasie Ridge high‑sulphidation prospect, and the Magiabe copper‑gold porphyry. Exploration strategy combines airborne MT geophysics, detailed mapping, systematic diamond drilling, and surface sampling to delineate a district‑scale resource.
