Great Pacific mobilizing second drill rig to Wild Dog

Executive Summary

• Great Pacific Gold Corp. is mobilizing a second drill rig to the Wild Dog project in PNG, targeting deeper drilling at the Sinivit epithermal zone and accelerating work on the adjacent Magiabe copper‑gold porphyry target.
• The company highlights high‑grade historic intercepts (WDG‑08: 8.4 m @ 49.9 g/t AuEq; WDG‑02: 7.0 m @ 11.2 g/t AuEq) and a 15‑km structural corridor with >1,000 m vertical potential.
• The second rig is expected on‑site in early November, enabling completion of the planned 28‑hole, ~5,000 m Phase 1 program and faster step‑out drilling to the north (Kavasuki target).

Key Details

• Second Rig Mobilization: Provided by Zenex Drilling; slated for early November deployment.
• Project Scope: Wild Dog structural corridor – 15 km strike length, >1,000 m vertical extent per MobileMT geophysics.
• Historic High‑Grade Intercepts:
• WDG‑08 – 8.4 m @ 49.9 g/t AuEq (46.5 g/t Au, 1.7 % Cu, 66.3 g/t Ag) from 154 m depth.
• WDG‑02 – 7.0 m @ 11.2 g/t AuEq (5.5 g/t Au, 3.5 % Cu, 68.8 g/t Ag) from 65 m depth.
• Magiabe Porphyry Potential: Geophysics indicates a target ~1.5 km west of Wild Dog, up to 1,000 m diameter and >2,000 m deep.
• Current Phase 1 Program: Focused on shallow epithermal mineralization (Sinivit); max drilled depth ≈100 m; only ~10 % of the 1.5‑km strike length tested.
• Planned Drilling Activities with Second Rig:
• Extend Sinivit drilling to greater depths.
• Accelerate completion of the remaining 28 holes (≈5,000 m total).
• Step out northward to the Kavasuki target.
• Prepare for initial drilling at Magiabe porphyry once groundwork is complete.
• QA/QC Protocols: Core submitted to Intertek Minerals Ltd.; fire assay with MS48 analysis; blanks and certified standards inserted per industry best practice; all assays passed QA/QC tolerances.
• Qualified Person: Callum Spink, VP Exploration (MAIG), reviewed and approved technical content under NI 43‑101.
