Geopacific Resources Ltd has reported further strong gold results from its ongoing drilling campaign at the Woodlark Gold Project in Papua New Guinea, highlighting continued potential to expand its current 1.67 million-ounce resource.
The latest results confirm multiple high-grade zones at the Great Northern and Kulumadau deposits, as well as a promising new discovery at the Kamwak exploration prospect.
At the Great Northern deposit, several drill holes returned significant gold intercepts, including 5 metres at 2.16 grams per tonne from 185 metres, 6 metres at 2.43 g/t from 208 metres, and 9 metres at 3.88 g/t from 145 metres. Mineralisation in the area remains open at depth, with further assays expected in the coming weeks.
Drilling at the Kulumadau deposit also yielded encouraging results. A deep geotechnical hole intersected 20 metres at 2.09 g/t gold from 281 metres, below the current pit design, suggesting potential for additional resource growth. High-grade intercepts of 1 metre at 13.3 g/t and 1 metre at 13.6 g/t gold were also recorded. The main lode at Kulumadau remains open to the south, and four more drill holes are planned to test extensions of the resource.
Meanwhile, at the Kamwak prospect, a new high-grade interval of 2 metres at 8.67 g/t gold was recorded from 86 metres. Kamwak lies adjacent to the 711,000-ounce Kulumadau deposit and is considered a potential new discovery. Diamond drilling is underway to build a geological model to support follow-up drilling.
Geopacific CEO James Fox said: “These results continue to reinforce the significant exploration and growth potential that remains at Woodlark. Our drill campaign is systematically testing extensions to the existing resource areas while advancing multiple new targets. With consistent results across several deposits and more assays due shortly, we are confident of delivering further resource growth beyond the current 1.67 million-ounce base.”
The current drilling program at Woodlark is divided into three main areas: resource development, exploration targets, and potential new mineral resources. To date, 37 reverse circulation and diamond holes covering nearly 4,865 metres have been completed, with additional drilling planned over the next 2–3 months at Little MacKenzie and Wayai Creek.
Exploration at these areas follows promising surface sampling, trenching, and previous drilling, aiming to confirm near-surface mineralisation and expand the existing resource base. The campaign is expected to provide detailed geological data to inform updated resource models and support further growth of the Woodlark Gold Project.
