GPAC · Price

Executive Summary

  • Great Pacific Gold Corp. has doubled its Phase 1 diamond drill program at the Wild Dog project from 2,500 m to 5,000 m (28 holes), targeting the Sinivit corridor and extending drilling into early 2026.
  • High‑grade intercepts already reported include 7.0 m @ 11.2 g/t AuEq (WDG‑02) and several other > 8 g/t AuEq intervals, with additional assay results pending for holes WDG‑08 and WDG‑09 in September 2025.
  • The company is commencing a 200‑km² high‑precision airborne lidar and large‑format imagery survey (Teledyne Galaxy sensor) slated to start August 2025, intended to feed Phase 2 drill planning and regional target generation.

Key Details

  • Program Expansion: Phase 1 drilling increased from 2,500 m to 5,000 m; total of 28 diamond holes planned, with the final “step‑out” hole targeting the northward gap toward Kavasuki.
  • High‑Grade Intercepts (reported):
  • WDG‑02 – 7.0 m @ 11.2 g/t AuEq from 65 m depth.
  • WDG‑04 – 6.0 m @ 8.6 g/t AuEq from 62 m.
  • WDG‑06 – 3.5 m @ 13.1 g/t AuEq from 12 m.
  • WDG‑07 – 10.0 m @ 4.0 g/t AuEq from 153 m.
  • Pending Results: Assays for holes WDG‑08 and WDG‑09 expected September 2025.
  • Drilling Status (as of May 2025): Nine holes completed; the 10th hole currently underway; two additional holes (WDG‑08, WDG‑09) finished but awaiting assay.
  • Lidar Survey: ~200 km² area; Teledyne Galaxy lidar + Vexcel UltraCam Eagle imaging; sub‑10 cm vertical accuracy; scheduled launch August 2025. Data will be integrated with MobileMT geophysics for Phase 2 target definition.
  • Technical Review: Qualified Person – Callum Spink, VP Exploration (MAIG, NI 43‑101).
  • QA/QC Protocols: Core sent to Intertek Minerals Ltd.; fire assay + MS48 analysis; blanks and standards inserted per industry best practice; all batches to date within tolerance.

Notable Quotes

“The success of the phase 1 diamond drilling at the Sinivit target to date has led us to expand our program, and we expect to continue drilling at Sinivit into early 2026,” – Greg McCunn, Chief Executive Officer.


Materiality Assessment: Material – Positive (significant expansion of a high‑grade drill program and initiation of advanced geophysical surveying that could materially affect the company’s valuation).
