Great Pacific Gold Completes Phase 2 Sampling Program at Kesar Creek Project in Papua New Guinea
Great Pacific Gold Corp. (GPAC) has completed Phase 2 sampling at the Kesar Creek Project in Papua New Guinea. The program collected 667 soil samples and 8 rock chip samples. Kesar Creek is located near multiple epithermal vein and porphyry deposits, adjacent to K92 Mining Inc.'s project. Previous GPAC sampling revealed high-grade gold results aligning with K92's Kora Deposit, which has 2.3M oz at 10.24 g/t Au equivalent (M&I) and 3.9M oz at 8.6 g/t Au equivalent (Inferred).
The Phase 1 program yielded high-grade assays, including 244 g/t Au from underground workings and 116 g/t Au from outcrop. GPAC's COO, Rex Motton, expressed optimism about future results and plans for additional work, including trenching of key areas.
Great Pacific Gold Corp. (GPAC) ha completato il campionamento della Fase 2 presso il progetto Kesar Creek in Papua Nuova Guinea. Il programma ha raccolto 667 campioni di suolo e 8 campioni di roccia. Kesar Creek si trova vicino a diversi depositi epithermali e porfirici, adiacente al progetto della K92 Mining Inc. I precedenti campionamenti di GPAC hanno rivelato risultati d'oro ad alta legge in linea con il deposito Kora della K92, che ha 2,3 milioni di once con una legge di 10,24 g/t equivalente (M&I) e 3,9 milioni di once con una legge di 8,6 g/t equivalente (Inferred).
Il programma della Fase 1 ha prodotto analisi ad alta legge, compresi 244 g/t Au da lavori sotterranei e 116 g/t Au da affioramenti. Il COO di GPAC, Rex Motton, ha espresso ottimismo riguardo ai risultati futuri e piani per ulteriori lavori, inclusa la trincea di aree chiave.

Great Pacific Gold Corp. (GPAC)는 파푸아 뉴긱에서 Kesar Creek 프로젝트의 2단계 샘플링을 완료했습니다. 이 프로그램은 667개의 토양 샘플과 8개의 암석 칩 샘플을 수집했습니다. Kesar Creek는 K92 Mining Inc.의 프로젝트에 인접한 여러 열수광맥과 포르피리 광상의 근처에 위치해 있습니다. 이전 GPAC 샘플링 결과는 K92의 Kora Deposit과 일치하는 고품질 금 결과를 보여주었으며, Kora Deposit은 2.3M 온스의 10.24 g/t Au(검증)과 3.9M 온스의 8.6 g/t Au(추정)를 보유하고 있습니다.
1단계 프로그램은 244 g/t Au의 지하 작업에서, 116 g/t Au의 노두에서 고품질 시료를 산출했습니다. GPAC의 COO Rex Motton은 향후 결과에 대해 낙관적이며 주요 지역에 대한 추가 작업 계획도 밝혔습니다.

Le programme a collecté 667 échantillons de sol et 8 échantillons de roche. Kesar Creek est situé à proximité de plusieurs gisements épithermaux et porphyriques, adjacent au projet de K92 Mining Inc. Les échantillonnages précédents de GPAC ont révélé des résultats en or de haute qualité correspondant au gisement Kora de K92, qui compte 2,3 millions d'onces avec un équivalent de 10,24 g/t Au (M&I) et 3,9 millions d'onces à 8,6 g/t Au (Estimé).
Le programme de la Phase 1 a donné des analyses de haute qualité, y compris 244 g/t Au provenant des travaux souterrains et 116 g/t Au provenant des affleurements. Le COO de GPAC, Rex Motton, a exprimé son optimisme quant aux résultats futurs et aux plans pour des travaux supplémentaires, y compris le creusement de zones clés.
Great Pacific Gold Corp. (GPAC) hat Phase 2 der Probenahme abgeschlossen im Kesar Creek Projekt in Papua-Neuguinea. Im Rahmen des Programms wurden 667 Bodenproben und 8 Gesteinsproben gesammelt. Kesar Creek liegt in der Nähe mehrerer epithermaler Erzgänge und Porphyrvorkommen, angrenzend an das Projekt der K92 Mining Inc. Frühere Probenahmen von GPAC zeigten hochgradige Goldwerte, die mit dem Kora-Vorkommen von K92 übereinstimmen, das 2,3 Millionen Unzen mit 10,24 g/t Au (M&I) und 3,9 Millionen Unzen mit 8,6 g/t Au (angeschätzt) aufweist.
Das Phase-1-Programm ergab hochgradige Analysen, darunter 244 g/t Au aus unterirdischen Arbeiten und 116 g/t Au aus Aufschlüssen. Der COO von GPAC, Rex Motton, äußerte Optimismus hinsichtlich zukünftiger Ergebnisse und Pläne für zusätzliche Arbeiten, einschließlich der Ausgrabung wichtiger Bereiche.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Great Pacific Gold Corp. ("Great Pacific Gold,” “GPAC,” or the "Company") (TSXV: GPAC) (OTCQX: FSXLF) (Germany: 4TU) is pleased to announce the completion of the Phase 2 soil and chip sampling program at the Kesar Creek Project in Papua New Guinea (see Figure 1).
Highlights:
- 667 soil samples and 8 rock chip samples collected during this phase of work
- Kesar Creek Project is short distance from multiple epithermal vein and porphyry deposits and targets identified on the adjacent K92 Mining Inc. project (see Figure 2).
- Previous assays from GPAC sampling include multiple high-grade gold results obtained from veins that align with the orientation and strike of K92 Mining Inc.’s prolific Kora Deposit of 2.3 M Oz at 10.24 g/t Au equivalent Measured and Indicated plus a further 3.9 million ounces Inferred at 8.6 g/t Au equivalent (Sept 12, 2023).
The Kesar Creek Project consists of one exploration license, EL 2711, and is contiguous with the K92 Mining Inc. tenements, approximately 10 km to the northwest and along strike from the Kainantu Gold Mine owned and operated by K92 Mining Inc (Figure 2).

During this Phase 2 program, 667 soil samples along with 8 rock chip samples were obtained by technical team members. This follows up on a Phase 1 sampling program that consisted of 332 soil samples taken over a strike length of 5.5km which included a high grade assay of 20.9 g/t Au in soil and 32 rock chip samples from outcrop and artisanal underground works and returned high-grade assays including 244 g/t Au (underground working), 116 g/t Au (outcrop), 36.5 g/t Au (float) and 33.4 g/t Au (underground working) (see GPAC News Release dated May 13, 2024 for details).

The extent of the current geochemical program is presented as white dots (Figure 3) as infill and extensional grid-based sampling. The East Vein Zone is where the itinerant mining is currently being undertaken and is associated with the granodiorite – sediment contact.
GPAC Chief Operating Officer and Director, Rex Motton, states, “Geochemical sampling and mapping have progressed very well with strong community support and involvement which has expedited the entire exploration process. We look forward to further excellent assay results from the highly prospective Kesar Creek project, which are expected in approximately one month. Additional work on site is planned, including trenching of key areas, using local labour, that would supplement the drill targeting.”

Quality Assurance / Quality Control
All assays were subject to quality control measures appropriate for reconnaissance rock chip sampling with duplicates, blanks and commercially available standards with the expected results from the samples submitted. All assays were conducted by Intertek Minerals Ltd (ISO: 9001), located in Perth, Western Australia, using fire assay techniques with a 30g charge and ICP-OES finish. The quality control results are consistent.
About GPAC
Great Pacific Gold has a portfolio of high-grade gold projects in Papua New Guinea (“PNG”) and Australia.
In PNG, Great Pacific Gold recently assembled a 2500 sq. km mineral exploration land package in PNG. The land package comprises of exploration licenses (EL). It includes both early-stage and advanced-stage exploration targets with high-grade epithermal vein and porphyry-style mineralization present.
The Arau Project consists of two exploration licenses, located in the Kainantu region, and includes the Mt. Victor Prospect, where previous drilling found a multiple phase intrusion complex hosting copper and gold mineralization.
The Wild Dog Project consists of two granted exploration licenses, EL 2761 and 2516, located on the island of New Britain and about 50 km southwest of Rabaul and Kokopo, PNG.
The Kesar Creek Project consists of one exploration license, EL 2711, and is contiguous with the K92 Mining Inc. tenements.
The Tinga Valley Project consists of one exploration license, EL 2720. The OK Tedi Copper Gold Mine is 140km to the northwest along the same belt is a superb geological comparison to the Tinga Valley Property.
