Great Pacific Gold - Exploration Update: 58.9m at 2.5 g/t AuEq In First Hole At Kavasuki, New High-Grade Targets, Drilling Ongoing

Mar 17, 2026
Greg McCunn, President and CEO of Great Pacific Gold, outlines rapid exploration in Papua New Guinea and recent drill highlights. He discusses a 58.9m result at Kavasuki, plans to test a 1 km undrilled gap in the Wild Dog corridor, maiden drilling and chalcopyrite at Kasie Ridge, and high-grade channel samples at Morgan and Magiabe West. Ongoing two-rig drilling and a $10M working capital position drive the 2026 plan.

Kavasuki Maiden Hole Shows Shallow High-Grade Continuity

  • Great Pacific Gold hit 58.9 m at 2.5 g/t AuEq in the first Kavasuki hole, indicating open-pittable, shallow high-grade mineralization.
  • The company sees multiple vertical high-grade chutes and confirmed an additional 18 m at 2.1 g/t AuEq deeper in the same hole, suggesting a stacked system.

Sinovit And Kavasuki Could Be One Continuous System

  • Kavasuki likely links to Sinovit across an undrilled ~1 km gap, forming a continuous Wild Dog corridor of high-grade veins.
  • MobileMT geophysics and lineament analysis support the structural connection and guide planned 2026 gap drilling to test continuity.

Changing Drill Direction Revealed Near Vertical Veining

  • Initial drill geometry misinterpreted vein orientation, causing hole two to miss because the vein is near-vertical with a west dip.
  • The team changed to drilling from the west and downhill, improving chances to intersect the brecciated epithermal zone (hole three awaited lab assays).
