Omega Pacific Reports Strong Geological Setting and Expansion Potential at GIC Gold Prospect

OMGA · Price

Executive Summary

  • Omega Pacific released a comprehensive EDA for the GIC Prospect on its wholly owned Williams Property, confirming a robust, structurally controlled gold system with ≥ 750 m of strike continuity and open‑ended potential.
  • The analysis identified high‑confidence drill targets, highlighted strong geochemical–structural vectors (pyrite >15% correlating to ≥0.2 g/t Au), and revealed a secondary ROI Prospect 2 km east showing copper‑molybdenum and gold‑bismuth‑tellurium anomalies indicative of porphyry‑style mineralization.
  • The company will commence a targeted 2026 drilling program focused on extending known mineralization and testing the new ROI target, with budgets to be defined shortly.

Key Details

  • Project Scope: GIC Prospect (Williams Property, Toodoggone District, BC) – integrated historic & recent drill data, multi‑element geochemistry, structural measurements, soil geochemistry, and geophysics into a 3‑D geological model.
  • Gold Mineralization: Continuous across a ≥ 750 m strike length within a mafic volcanic horizon; mineralized horizons remain open in all directions (depth & laterally).
  • Geochemical Vectors:
  • Pyrite‑rich intervals (>15% pyrite) associated with an >80% probability of gold grades ≥0.2 g/t Au.
  • Gold hosted alongside hydrothermal pyrite, bismuth and tellurium – useful for real‑time XRF‑based drill targeting.
  • Structural Controls: Faulting and bedding orientation identified as primary controls; mineralized zones open along strike and potentially down‑/up‑dip.
  • Advanced Clustering: Portable XRF classifiers can now differentiate mineralized mafic rocks from background lithologies during drilling.
  • Secondary Target – ROI Prospect (≈2 km east of GIC): Soil geochemistry shows Cu‑Mo and Au‑Bi‑Te anomalies consistent with porphyry‑style systems; adds a second discovery style within a 4.6 km prospectivity corridor.
  • Next Exploration Phase:
  • Follow‑up drilling to test extensions of the GIC mineralized zone along identified structural/stratigraphic trends.
  • Full‑suite modern soil geochemical survey over priority targets, including ROI Prospect.
  • Continued refinement of 3‑D models to optimize capital allocation.
  • Budget & Timeline: Detailed budget and drilling schedule will be disclosed once defined; the company emphasizes aggressive advancement of the project in 2026.

Notable Quotes

“We are seeing at GIC the transition from isolated drill success to a coherent discovery story… The data now clearly define an extensive gold system with an understanding of its controls, and most importantly where it’s obvious extensions.” – Jason Leikam, CEO

“The integration of historical data, modern geochemistry, and 3‑D geological modeling has materially reduced geological risk and sharpened drill targeting.” – Jason Leikam, CEO
