0.8m @ 127 g/t AuEq in Surface Sampling and 5.0m @ 4.9 g/t AuEq in Drilling at Great Pacific Gold's Wild Dog Project
Executive Summary
- Expanded Phase 1 diamond drill program at the Wild Dog Project delivered multiple high‑grade intercepts, including 0.8 m @ 127 g/t AuEq and a 5.0 m @ 4.9 g/t AuEq interval (with 2.0 m @ 11.1 g/t AuEq) from hole WDG‑09.
- A second drill rig is being mobilized, increasing capacity to complete the planned 28‑hole program into early 2026 and accelerating testing of the Sinivit target.
- LiDAR survey of 187 km² completed; data will support geological modelling, drill planning and infrastructure design across the Wild Dog corridor.

Second drill rig mobilization underway; additional camp capacity under development.
-
LiDAR Survey
- Fixed‑wing airborne LiDAR and large‑format imagery covering 187 km² completed.
-
Produces Digital Terrain Model with <10 cm vertical accuracy for topographic control, structural mapping, and infrastructure layout.
-
Assay Methodology & QA/QC
- AuEq calculated using $2,000/oz Au, $27.50/oz Ag, $4.50/lb Cu; recovery assumptions: Au 92.6 %, Ag 78.0 %, Cu 94.0 %.
-
Samples processed at Intertek Minerals (ISO 9001) with fire‑assay and multi‑element MS48 analysis; QA/QC inserts ≥5 % of intervals.

Additional Drill Hole Data (selected from Table 2)
- WDG‑02: 7.0 m @ 5.49 g/t Au, 68.84 g/t Ag, 2.96 % Cu → AuEq 10.91 g/t.
- WDG‑04: 6.0 m @ 8.31 g/t Au, 27.56 g/t Ag, 2.37 % Cu → AuEq 12.35 g/t (incl. higher‑grade sub‑intervals).
-
WDG‑08: 3.8 m @ 93.30 g/t Au, 128.72 g/t Ag, 4.74 % Cu → AuEq 102.2 g/t; plus 0.8 m @ 322 g/t Au, 84.5 g/t Ag, 4.26 % Cu → AuEq 329.65 g/t.

Geological Interpretation
- Intercepts confirm continuity of the main Wild Dog structure northward and reveal zonation with high‑grade gold overlying copper‑silver sulphide zones.
- MobileMT geophysics indicates potential for a large porphyry Cu‑Au system adjacent to the epithermal corridor, analogous to PNG’s Wafi‑Golpu deposit.
Notable Quotes
- “The intercept with the main Wild Dog structure supports the continuity of the system… we are increasingly confident in our geological model.” – Greg McCunn, CEO & Director
- “High‑grade results in the veins exposed in the historic pit confirm the high‑grade nature of the system.” – Greg McCunn, CEO & Director
