Adyton Resources Corporation has engaged Global Ore Discovery to advance an integrated exploration programme at its 100% owned Feni gold-copper project in Papua New Guinea.
The appointment brings Global Ore’s epithermal and porphyry expertise to support targeting and technical oversight as Adyton seeks to expand resources at the Kabang prospect and assess district-scale potential across Feni Island. The work will be undertaken alongside Adyton’s in-house technical team, including expert consultant Dr. Erin Johns.
Global Ore consultants have already completed a site visit, relogging drill core to assess alteration, lithology and structural controls on gold mineralisation at Kabang. Adyton said preliminary observations indicate similarities between the geological and structural setting at Feni and those at the Lihir gold mine, owned and operated by Newmont, supporting the project’s large-scale potential.
The engagement follows a technical workshop held in late October 2025 at Global Ore Discovery’s headquarters, where historical and current datasets were reviewed alongside comparable alkalic-style gold-copper systems globally. The review culminated in a technical action plan to guide next steps.
Global Ore has initiated an integrated reinterpretation of geological, structural, geophysical and hyperspectral data, with the aim of delivering a high-resolution three-dimensional geological model to optimise drill targeting for ongoing resource expansion at Kabang.
The consultants have also identified priority areas for follow-up sampling of outcropping gold mineralisation and visually confirmed higher-grade copper mineralisation in drill core beneath and lateral to the existing resource.
“Engaging Global Ore Discovery marks the next significant expansion of our discovery efforts at Feni Island,” said Tim Crossley, Adyton’s chief executive officer.
Crossley said that this is a deliberate shift from Adyton’s initial focus on near resource drilling to a more aggressive program; exploring for resource expansion at Kabang while we also accelerate an exciting strategic approach to evaluation of multiple compelling epithermal gold prospects and targeting of large-scale concealed copper-gold porphyry mineralization within a ‘Whole of Island’ district scale thinking.
Global Ore will assist Adyton’s team in accelerating this expanded exploration strategy, he added.
The consulting programme is designed to support drill targeting for resource expansion, advance drill testing of known epithermal prospects and assess the potential for concealed porphyry-related copper-gold mineralisation across the island, including areas such as Danmagal.
Global Ore Discovery has worked across major porphyry and epithermal belts in the Americas, Australasia and Central Asia, and has contributed to discoveries and expansions including Batu Hijau and Toka Tindung in Indonesia and the Wafi-Golpu resource in Papua New Guinea.
Adyton said the engagement will focus on near-term deliverables expected in the first quarter of 2026, including detailed core documentation, spectral mineral mapping, prioritisation of targets beyond the current Kabang resource footprint and completion of an integrated 3D geological model to define new high-priority drill targets.
The Feni gold-copper project is located on the Lihir Island chain, a region known for world-class gold-copper deposits, and remains a core asset in Adyton’s portfolio.
