Geopacific Resources Limited is pleased to announce significant gold results from surface auger sampling at the Wayai Creek SSW and Little MacKenzie prospects within its 100% owned 1.67 Moz Woodlark Gold Project in Papua New Guinea (‘Woodlark’, the ‘Project’).
The auger sampling is part of an ongoing program of field mapping and sampling activities focussed on the under-explored southwest corner of the Project, part of the Woodlark King Mining Centre (Figures 1 and 2). The area is highly prospective and is supported by favourable host lithology, complex magnetic responses, favourable structures, and anomalous geochemistry, indicating significant potential to host economic gold mineralisation.
Analysis of the results has highlighted several large coherent >0.1 g/t gold anomalies with peak result to 63.6 g/t Au at the northernmost sample line at Little MacKenzie where it remains open to the north, and numerous adjacent samples of over 1.0 g/t Au in both locations (refer Table 1, Figures 3 and 5, and JORC Table 1 at the end of this release for further information on the sampling and assaying methodology).
These prospects will be progressively advanced through further surface sampling and trenching prior to drilling later in 2025 as part of the current exploration drill program. A total of 30,000 metres of RC and diamond drilling is scheduled to commence in June 2025 to extend known gold mineralisation and test new targets to increase mineral resources.
Geopacific CEO James Fox said: “These results confirm the strong prospectivity of the Woodlark King area, with high-grade auger results and extensive surface anomalies extending known mineralisation. The Little MacKenzie and Wayai Creek targets are shaping up as compelling additions to our pipeline and with a major 30,000 metre drill program set to commence this month, we are excited by the potential to build on our 1.67 Moz resource base.”
