V3H Great Pacific Gold Corp

Great Pacific Gold Corp. (“Great Pacific Gold,” “GPAC,” or the “Company”) (TSXV: GPAC) (OTCQX: FSXLF) (Germany: V3H) is providing an update on its 100% owned Reedy Creek Project in Victoria, Australia, a non-core asset for the Company. In a previous news release (September 5, 2024) the Company announced a focused exploration strategy for its core assets including Kesar, located in Papua New Guinea and contiguous with K92 Mining’s Kainantu Mine, where a diamond drilling program is set to commence. As part of the focused strategy, the Company announced that it was undertaking a process of evaluating its non-core assets in Australia to maximize value from these assets.

The Reedy Creek project comprises two exploration tenements covering 445km2 of historic workings together with limited modern exploration work conducted by Great Pacific Gold.

Highlights of Reedy Creek

• Located immediately north and contiguous to Southern Cross Gold’s Sunday Creek Project where a 50,000 meter drilling campaign is underway (Figure 1)
• Historic production from the Reedy Creek Goldfields and Welcome Reef/Providence mines
• Permits and key land access agreements in place
• GPAC reverse circulation drilling at Reedy Creek included highlight intercept of 8.0m at 42.4 g/t Au from 68 meters (Table 1)
• Recent shallow RAB drilling by GPAC intercepted 4.0m at 30.4 g/t from 20 meters at the Weineroider Ridge target in preliminary assays (Table 1)

GPAC CEO and Director, Greg McCunn, notes “Earlier this month, Great Pacific Gold announced a focused and targeted exploration plan for the coming year. With drilling to commence soon at our Kesar Creek Project in PNG, adjacent to K92 Mining, we have started to execute on this mandate. We look forward to capitalizing on GPAC’s success to-date on the ground at Reedy Creek by monetizing the asset to assist in funding what will be a significant ramp up of activity in PNG in the coming year. We anticipate significant interest in Reedy Creek from Australian and Canadian listed issuers.”

About Great Pacific Gold

Great Pacific Gold has a portfolio of exploration stage projects in Papua New Guinea (“PNG”) and Australia. The Company is focused on developing gold-copper resources from its highly prospective land packages. Its core projects include:

• Kesar – located in the Eastern Highlands province of PNG and contiguous with K92 Mining’s mine tenements, Kesar is a greenfield exploration project with several high priority targets in close proximity to the property boundary with K92. Multiple epithermal veins at Kesar are on strike and have the same orientation of key K92 deposits such as Kora. Exploration work to date by GPAC at Kesar has shown that these veins have high grades of gold present in outcrop and very elevated gold in soil grades, coincident with aeromagnetic highs.
• Arau – located in Eastern Highlands province of PNG, the Arau Project contains the highly prospective Mt. Victor exploration target with potential for a high sulphidation epithermal gold-base metal deposit. A Phase 1 Reverse Circulation drilling program was completed at Mt. Victor in August 2024, with results pending. The Arau project includes the Elandora licence which also contains various epithermal and copper-gold porphyry targets.
• Wild Dog – located in the East New Britain province of PNG, Wild Dog is a brownfield exploration project with a history of small-scale gold mining. The project contains numerous epithermal and porphyry hydrothermal-magmatic targets evidenced by previous exploration and operations. The Company completed a road refurbishment in August 2024 and access to the project has been established for baseline environmental and exploration work.
• Lauriston – located in the state of Victoria, Australia, the Lauriston project is located on the southern extension of the Fosterville Goldfield Belt and is adjacent to Agnico Eagle’s extensive Fosterville tenements and mine operations. Lauriston contains the Comet-Trojan target, a 4.5km long epizonal orogenic system. The discovery hole at Comet intersected 8m at 105 g/t gold and a follow-up drilling program was completed in Q3 2024. The Company is consolidating its information on the Lauriston project and expects to publish an NI 43-101 compliant technical report.
• Walhalla – located in the state of Victoria, Australia, the Walhalla project consists of over 1,400km2 of concessions including the numerous historical mining operations and the recently acquired Woods Point land package. The Company is consolidating its information on the Walhalla project and expects to publish an NI 43-101 compliant technical report. Walhalla contains a high-priority greenfield target called Pinnacles. Extensive soil geochemistry has highlighted a 400m x 1,100m gold mineralized aplitic dyke which contains disseminated sulphides and outcrops at surface. The Pinnacles target is fully permitted and ready for drilling.

The Company also holds a number of other exploration projects including the recently acquired Tinga Valley Project.
