Great Pacific Gold Provides Field Exploration Update at Wild Dog Project

The most recent news (March 16, 2026) provides a field exploration update for the Wild Dog Project in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Key highlights include high-grade channel samples at the Magiabe West vein (up to 90.9 g/t Au) and an 8-metre composite interval of 17.10 g/t Au. Additionally, the Morgan Vein system strike length was expanded four-fold to 850 metres. This follows the March 11 and March 3 updates, which reported the first drill results from the Kavasuki target, notably hole KVH-01 intersecting 58.9m @ 2.50 g/t AuEq. While KVH-01 was a success, the company noted that KVH-02 (drilled from the same pad at a steeper angle) did not contain significant mineralization, highlighting the structural complexity and "nuggety" or shoot-based nature of the deposit.

The news is Routine - Positive. While the grades from channel sampling are exceptionally high (90.9 g/t Au), they are surface samples and follow-ups to previously known anomalies. The market was already aware of the high-grade nature of the Wild Dog corridor from the 2025 Sinivit drilling (e.g., 8.4m @ 50 g/t AuEq). The expansion of the Morgan Vein and the successful (though singular) hit at Kavasuki (KVH-01) confirm that mineralization is not limited to the historic Sinivit mine area. However, the failure of KVH-02 to find continuity down-dip at Kavasuki introduces a note of caution regarding the continuity of these high-grade "shoots." The impact is positive as it builds a pipeline of targets, but it does not yet represent a "game-changing" resource definition.

Great Pacific Gold (GPAC) is a PNG-focused explorer. Its flagship is the Wild Dog Project (East New Britain, PNG), which contains the historic Sinivit mine. The project is characterized by a 15km structural corridor hosting high-grade epithermal gold-copper-silver. The company is also exploring the Kesar Project (contiguous to K92 Mining) and the Arau Project.
