Great Pacific Gold - Updated 5,000 Metre Drill Program at Sinivit-Kavasuki
Wild Dog drill campaigns push toward district-scale potential in PNG
Executive Summary
- The most recent release (2026-02-26) provides an update on the Sinivit and Kavasuki targets within GPAC’s Wild Dog Project in Papua New Guinea. Highlights include completion of 18 drill holes at Sinivit delineating multiple high-grade shoots and the initiation of drilling at Kavasuki with a broad hydrothermal breccia zone and sulphide mineralization observed. Management confirms a disciplined, corridor-wide approach with an additional 5,000 metres planned to evaluate continuity and scale across the Sinivit-Kavasuki corridor.
- Prior releases in the period reinforce the same theme: ongoing expansion and acceleration of drilling across multiple targets along the 15-kilometre Wild Dog Structural Corridor (Sinivit, Kavasuki, Kasie Ridge, Magiabe porphyry target). Notable items include the Kasie Ridge drill start (KAS-01) testing high-temperature advanced argillic alteration and the Northern Sulphide Shoot results (e.g., high-grade intercepts and depth extension). A second drill rig was mobilized to advance Kasie Ridge and other targets.
- Earlier news in 2025 highlighted: a Walhalla 1:1 spinout (Walhalla Gold Corp), governance/financing steps to unlock a district-scale Australian gold project, and multiple private placements to fund PNG exploration (Wild Dog and Kesar/Arau projects). The stock has benefited from progress updates on the Wild Dog program, including strong near-surface intercepts (e.g., WDG-08, WDG-12) and MobileMT geophysics underscoring potential depth and corridor-scale mineralization.
- The company’s updates consistently emphasize: (i) the Wild Dog corridor as a district-scale system with multiple high-priority targets, (ii) progression from near-surface epithermal shoots to deeper testing, and (iii) integration of geophysical platforms (MobileMT, LiDAR) to steer drill targeting. The news flow has been positive and incremental, with routine program expansion and new target testing, rather than a single transformative discovery.
Material Impact
- Summary: GPAC’s latest news reinforces ongoing, methodical advancement of the Wild Dog project. It confirms the ability to expand the drill program (another 5,000 metres planned), continues to delineate two high-grade shoots at Sinivit, and introduces the Kavasuki target with early mineralization signals. The Kasie Ridge test underscores potential for a large epithithermal system and the Magiabe porphyry target adds a longer-term potential for a porphyry Cu-Au system adjacent to epithermal veins.
- Impact assessment: Routine - Positive. The information is incrementally positive and confirms progress toward a broader, district-scale assessment, but it does not yet present a standalone, material new asset or a proven-resource upgrade. The continued expansion of drilling, joint geophysical interpretation, and multi-target testing is supportive of downstream valuation but remains exploratory-stage. The Walhalla spinout and PNG-focused funding activity add optionality and balance sheet flexibility, but the immediate stock impact hinges on assay results and drill success in 2026.
- Key items to watch for materiality in the near term:
- Assay results from WDG-08 and WDG-09 (and other 2026-phase holes) and the plunge geometry/refined models for Northern Sulphide.
- By- region drill readouts from Kasie Ridge and Kavasuki to confirm continuity and potential scale of high-grade zones.
- Updated geological models and new drill-ready targets within the 15 km corridor.
- Any update on the Walhalla spinout progress and related funding/financing milestones.
- Relation to previous expectations: The updates are consistent with the prior narrative of a district-scale Wild Dog system, multi-rig testing, and a push toward depth and strike extension. They align with management’s repeated emphasis on rapid ramp-up and target-rich exploration along the corridor.

Company Overview
- Great Pacific Gold Corp. is focused on the Wild Dog Project in Papua New Guinea, a district-scale exploration endeavor along a 15-km structural corridor. The flagship Sinivit target has produced near-surface high-grade intercepts, with ongoing drilling planned to test down-plunge extensions and to advance multiple targets within the corridor. The Kasie Ridge and Magiabe targets add depth and scale considerations to the project portfolio. The Wild Dog system is described as a high-sulphidation epithermal gold-copper system with potential porphyry copper-gold components.
