The Board of Geopacific Resources Limited (“Geopacific”) is pleased to provide an exploration update of the Kou Sa Project in Cambodia.

Geopacific’s strategy is to develop Kou Sa to generate revenue that will support expansion. Targeting a ‘kickstarter’, maiden resource and scoping study to take the project into production, with ongoing exploration increasing the scale of the project, well beyond the initial resource.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Thick sulphide intersections continue

  • Thickness of dilation zone increases

  • Open at depth and to the north-west

Managing Director, Ron Heeks said,

“… The thickness of this zone at Prospect 160 indicates that the source of mineralisation at Kou Sa must be substantial to be able to pump mineralised fluids into 40 metres of host rock… This zone is expected to add considerably to the metal inventory of the project.”

PROSPECT 160 EXTENSIONAL DRILLING

Prospect 160 is one of the most advanced areas at Kou Sa and is expected to form part of a maiden resource. Ongoing infill and extensional drilling at the prospect continues to define a thick zone of copper-sulphide mineralisation that forms the central core of the mineralised structure.

Figure 2 displays the zone of greater than 20m-thick copper mineralisation and highlights that it is open to the north-west. The current strike length of the Prospect 160 mineralisation is 300m. Drilling continues to test the depth.

On 22 October Geopacific announced a 42m wide intersection of sulphide mineralisation in KRC199, the 1m splits have returned the following results from 55m depth:

  • KRC199: 41m at 1.64% Cu and 3.58g/t Ag for 1.69% Cu eq. incl. 6m at 3.05% Cu and 4.05g/t Ag for 3.10% Cu eq.

Also announced were the 4m composite results for KRC184 and KRC 159 from the thick central core of the Prospect 160 mineralisation. The 1m splits have been returned, results include:

  • KRC159: 18m at 2.56% Cu and 7.64g/t Ag for 2.65% Cu eq.

This is higher grade and slightly narrower zone than the 4m composites.

  • KRC184: 27m at 3.48% Cu and 6.04g/t Ag for 3.55% Cu eq.

  • The grades are almost identical to those of the 4m composites, demonstrating the consistency of grade within this thick zone of mineralisation. Results of the 1m splits from the central portion of the zone are provided in Table 1.

Holes KRC184 and KRC199 collapsed due to unfavourable RC drilling conditions, both ended in mineralisation.

Drillholes KRC201, KRC203 and KRC209 are RC pre-collars that will be extended with diamond tails to test for extensions of the zone which is expected to combat the unfavourable RC drilling conditions that resulted in holes KRC184 and KRC199 collapsing and will allow Geopacific to test the full depth extent of the mineralisation.

Managing Director, Ron Heeks said

“There are numerous occasions over kilometres of strike length at Kou Sa where thick zones of mineralisation have formed, indicating the presence of a primary source at depth which is significant enough to be capable of pumping copper and gold rich fluids into a massive host rock.

The results from recent drilling at Prospect 160 have continued to confirm and improve the thickness and grade of copper and silver mineralisation. The core zone, which is at least 40m thick, is another example that an underlying source is generating multiple deposits.

Continued drilling of the Prospect 160 zone is a priority, with a diamond drill-rig being used to test the mineralisation at depth. This zone will add considerably to the metal inventory of the project”

Ongoing exploration

Exploration at Prospect 160 continues with diamond drilling of RC pre-collared holes both down dip and across strike of the mineralisation. The smaller diamond rig on site has now been replaced with a larger, track-mounted rig that will initially be drilling at the Prospect 160 area. The second diamond rig is currently drilling west of the Prospect 100 area where a zone of copper mineralisation was identified in first pass drilling. The RC rig will move to Prospect 120 to undertake the first drilling, targeting the area below the trenching, which was undertaken several months ago and identified broad zones of >0.1% Cu at surface.

The local village of Chep and Geopacific exploration camp, which are located on a bitumen highway, are situated just to the west of the licence. All current prospects at Kou Sa are marked and overlain on the IP chargeability geophysics (IP). The IP has been invaluable in accurate drill-targeting, with over 80% of drillholes resulting in mineralisation. Areas of high chargeability are shown in red and white. An overview of the project with this in mind indicates the prospectivity of Kou Sa.

Resource drilling
Prospect Commodity Summary
The majority of the prospect area is now drilled on a 40m x 40m pattern with some infill on
a 20m x 20m pattern. Understanding of the structure and orientation of the zone is now
high. A deep feeder zone to the near surface mineralisation is currently being assessed.
P150 Cu, Au, Ag
Most of mineralisation contains copper, gold and silver with some extremely high grades.
Depth of the mineralisation is currently less than 70m from the surface. Some infill and
extensional drilling remains to be completed.
The geometry of the deposit is now fairly well understood. The zone has an extremely,
thick core of copper sulphide mineralisation that tapers towards the sides of the zone. The
P160 Cu, Ag, (±Au) zone has a strike length of 300m. Drilling continues to extend the mineralisation down
plunge. There is potential for gold mineralisation combined with the copper sulphide at
depth, as mineralisation approaches what is thought to be the feeder zone.

Prospect Commodity Summary
mineralisation near surface. Further drilling is required to extend the zone to depth and
alongstrike.
P128 Cu, Ag, (±Au) The Prospect 128 mineralisation has been systematically drilled on a 40m x 40m pattern.
The mineralisation is predominantly copper sulphide of good grade and is near surface,
forming a zone 40 to 50m wide, 200m long and up to 25m thick. Further drilling is planned
to extend zone to the north and further along strike. Potential also exists for further zones
of mineralisation of a similar style nearby as several nearby holes have intercepted
significant mineralisation.
Advanced
Prospect Commodity Summary
P117 Cu, Ag, (±Au) Initial drilling of the Prospect 117 mineralisation was difficult to interpret but, further
drilling and a recent reassessment of all the available data including radial IP work has
shown that the zone dips to the west and strikes north-northwest. Several recent holes
have confirmed this new interpretation. Potential exists for further drilling to extend the
three zones identified to depth and along strike to the north and south. There is excellent
chance of findingfurther zones repeated to the east and west of the current drilling.
P190
(Gold)
Au, Ag Several initial holes have been drilled into the Prospect 190 (Gold) area. Results have
yielded broad zones of near-surface, low-grade gold mineralisation and several zones of
deeper gold-mineralisation including a narrow but very high-grade zone. This area is
currently interpreted to be the upper level of an epithermal system. The area is being
assessed with deeper IPgeophysics before further drillingis undertaken.
P190
(South)
Cu, Ag Three areas of shallow copper-sulphide and silver mineralisation have been identified from
first-pass drilling. A deep IP geophysics program is currently in progress over the area to
helptarget the next stage of drilling.

Prospect Commodity Summary
P120 Cu, Au A significant but discrete zone of gold and copper soil geochemistry was identified and
follow-up gradient array geophysics has confirmed the presence of an IP anomaly. Several
lines of RC drillingover thegeophysics areplanned to be undertaken in the near future.
P170 Au, Ag Prospect 170 has a large base-metal and gold geochemical anomaly associated with other
geochemical signatures that would suggest the mineralisation came from a deep source.
An assessment of airborne magnetics also suggests that a deep mineralising source is
nearby. A few holes drilled over the anomaly produced scattered copper and gold results
with extremely wide zones of anomalous silver. This would also suggest we are at the top
of the system and that deeper holes need to be drilled. A deep IP geophysics program will
be undertaken to further define the deeper zone before drillingcommences.
P180 Cu, Au, Ag Prospect 180 was identified from broad copper and gold geochemistry and IP geophysicis.
First-pass drilling intercepted wide low-grade copper mineralisation in oxide and sulphide
zones. This indicates the presence of mineralising system, potentially located at depth.
Further drillingis required to allow a better assessment of the Prospect 180 area.

WHY DO THE COMMODITIES DIFFER BETWEEN PROSPECTS?

The mineralisation at Kou Sa is thought to be derived from a deep intrusive source. Geochemistry,

==> picture [340 x 235] intentionally omitted <==

geophysics and petrology all point to a deep source as the origin of the near-surface mineralisation. As the intrusive cooled, mineralising fluids under pressure have taken the path of least resistance to the surface. In places the solutions have hit an impermeable layer and as pressure has built up under the layer, the fluids have moved sideways into the rock units that fracture most easily. The first fluids emplaced are predominantly copper-sulphides. If the

pressure buildup is significant enough to crack the impermeable horizon there is a rapid decrease in fluid pressure that causes the gold and silver solutions to deposit in the area of the pressure decrease. Therefore, as you move away from the area of the cracking the mineralisation transitions from being gold and silver rich, to gold, silver and copper rich and then to predominantly copper sulphide. In areas where the seal does not crack, mineralisation is predominantly just copper rich. There can be multiple episodes of cracking and emplacement of solution, which can considerably improve the grade of the mineralisation.

ABOUT GEOPACIFIC AND KOU-SA, CAMBODIA

Kou Sa Project

Geopacific is actively exploring for copper and gold in Cambodia and Fiji. In Cambodia, its rapidly advancing Kou-Sa copper-gold project is a well-funded exploration vehicle in a highly prospective district. Project highlights include high grade, near surface deposits, excellent logistics, low cost environment, compelling geology and exceptional initial metallurgy results. With a proven management team and focused strategy to target a maiden resource and scoping study, exploration success is expected to continue and add to the potential of the project.

Ownership

In 2013, Geopacific (85%) and their JV Partner The Royal Group (15%) signed a purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the Kou Sa Project from the vendor. The Kou Sa Project covers 158km2.

The Royal Group is the largest, commercial conglomerate in Cambodia. They have entered into corporate ventures in Cambodia with the likes of ANZ and Siemens.

Location

Kou-Sa is in Cambodia’s Chep district in the province of Phreah Vihear. The Project is a 3-hour drive from Siem Reap international Airport or alternatively a 5-hour drive from the capital city of Phnom Penh, both routes follow high-quality bitumen highways.

Discovery

Kou-Sa was identified by French geologists in the 1960’s, pre-dating the Vietnamese and regional civil wars. In 2009, the Vendors began shallow drilling along parts of visibly outcropping mineralisation. In 2013, after agreeing to purchase the Project, Geopacific commenced detailed exploration with airborne magnetics (3,800 line kms), regional soil geochemistry (approx. 8,000 samples) and detailed IP and EM geophysics. The work undertaken allowed Geopacific to identify a number of high priority prospects in an East – West arc across the project area. Geopacific has continued exploration with encouraging results.

Appendix B – JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Sampling was conducted using percussion drilling (RC).
Sampling of RC drilling comprised four metre composites
taken using a PVC tube/spear with one metre samples
collected using rifle splitter within zones of interest.
Samples were sent for fire assay gold and four-acid
multi-element analysis. Blank, duplicate, and standard
samples were inserted in at various intervals based on
Geopacific’s QAQC procedure to ensure sample
representivity and repeatability of the sampling results.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg
was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
RC samples comprised four metre composites collected
using a PVC spear, and one metre splits collected using a
rifle splitter.
The RC samples were then sent for sample preparation
where they were crushed, pulverised, and split to a
nominal 200g sample size for analysis.
Samples were sent for fire assay gold analysis using a 30g
charge, as well as multi-element analysis using multi-acid
digest with ICP finish.
Drilling
Techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and
details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth
of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).
RC drilling was completed using standard face sampling
RC drill hammers.
Drill Sample
Recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
Bulk RC drill samples were visually inspected by the
supervising geologist to ensure adequate sample
recoveries were achieved. Any wet/moist samples were
flagged and recorded in the database to ensure no
sampling bias was introduced.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
RC drilling was undertaken using industry best practice
with geological supervision at all times to ensure good
sample recovery.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
Sample recovery was good to moderate throughout the
drill holes. Possible preferential loss of ore material
could have resulted in some zones, but the majority of
the samples had good recovery.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically
and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies
and metallurgical studies.
All drill chips were geologically logged by Geopacific
geologists using the Geopacific’s logging procedure.

Page 12

==> picture [563 x 98] intentionally omitted <==

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography.
Drill chips were logged both qualitatively (e.g. lithology,
alteration, structure, etc.) and quantitatively (e.g.
mineralisation percentage). Samples of the drill chips
are stored in plastic chip trays in our exploration core
yard.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
All holes are logged their entire length.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or
all core taken.
No diamond drilling results are reported in this
announcement.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.
Initial four metre composites are sampled using a PVC
tube/spear; with one metre samples collected using a
rifle splitter.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
Samples are crushed to a nominal 2mm by a jaw crusher,
with the whole sample pulverised and then split to two
final 200g samples. One sample is stored on site with
the other sent for analysis.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise representivity of samples.
Field blank, duplicate, and standard samples are
introduced to maximise the representivity of the
samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected, including
for instance results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
Field duplicates are inserted in accordance with
Geopacific’s QAQC procedure.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of
the material being sampled.
Sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.
Quality of
assay data and
laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.
Fire assay Au and four-acid digest ICP analysis are
thought to be appropriate for determination of gold and
base metals in fresh rock, and are considered to
represent a total analysis.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining
the analysis including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
No results from geophysical tools, spectrometers, or
handheld XRF instruments are reported in this release.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of
bias) and precision have been established.
Field and lab blank, duplicate, and standard samples
were used in the drilling. Results from these QAQC
samples were within the acceptable ranges.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
Significant intersections were inspected by senior
geological staff.
The use of twinned holes. No holes reported in this announcement are twins of
previous drilling.

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures,
data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
Primary assay data is sent from the lab to our database
administrator and then entered into Geopacific’s
database and validated by the database administrator
and senior staff.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No adjustments were made or required to be made to
the assay data.
Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Drillhole collars were located using a Garmin handheld
GPS and measured from nearby surveyed locations.
These collars will be accurately located in the next round
of surveying. Downhole survey tools are used and
calibrated on a regular basis.
Specification of the grid system used. Coordinates are recorded in WGS84 zone 48 south.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. A digital terrain model of the various prospects was
created from detailed LiDAR data and is used to set the
RL of the drill collars.
Data spacing
and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. These holes represent the drill-out and extension phase
of the mineralisation at Prospect 160. The drill spacing is
set to a nominal 40m x 40m grid pattern, infilled where
necessary.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
No Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimations have
been made based on these results.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. Results that refer to RC drilling are a combination of 4m
composites and 1m splits, and are labelled as such in the
results table.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which
this is known, considering the deposit type.
Interpretations of the mineralised zone at Prospect 160
suggest that the drill orientation does not introduce a
significant bias to the sampling.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and
the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.
An interpretation of the mineralisation has indicated
that no significant bias has been introduced by the
orientation of the drill holes reported herein.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. All samples are collected by GPR staff and put into
numbered calico bags, which are immediately tied and
placed in larger polyweave bags with other samples.
These polyweave bags are tied and secured, and are
then sent with a consignment notice direct to ALS in
Phnom Penh using Geopacific staff.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
QAQC data is monitored on a batch-by-batch basis. An
audit of the database by a geochemical consultant has
shown that the current procedures are adequate.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership
including agreements or material issues with third
parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding
royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness
or national park and environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting
along with any known impediments to obtaining a
licence to operate in the area.
Geopacific has entered into a sale agreement with
Golden Resources Development Co. Ltd (“GRD”), a South
Korean controlled Cambodian company, for an option to
acquire an 85% interest in the highly prospective Kou Sa
Copper Project in Northern Cambodia. The remaining
15% has been acquired by a subsidiary of WWM’s
Cambodian partner, The Royal Group.
Exploration
done by other
parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
This announcement is based on work done solely by
Geopacific Resources Limited and makes no reference to
work done by other companies.
Geology Deposit
type,
geological
setting
and
style
of
mineralisation.
The geology of the tenement is dominated by andesitic,
dacitic and rhyolitic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks with
minor lenses of limestone and sediments. Quartz-
feldspar porphyry intrusions are noted in the drilling
with outcropping dacitic porphyry observed in the west
of the tenement. Known mineralisation on the tenement
comprises
structurally-hosted
semi-massive
copper
sulphide veins.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information for all Material
drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above
sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis
that the information is not Material and this exclusion
does not detract from the understanding of the report,
the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is
the case.
Refer to tables in Appendix A.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques,
maximum
and/or
minimum
grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off
grades are usually Material and should be stated.
No top-cuts were used in the reporting of these
significant intercept. The interval selected using a cut off
value 0.5% CuEq, and were calculated using weighted
averaging.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of
high grade results and longer lengths of low grade
results, the procedure used for such aggregation should
be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
Shorter intercepts of higher grade within larger reported
intercepts are subsequently highlighted within the
summary drilling table.

Page 15

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
Due to the polymetallic nature of the Project, copper
equivalent values were calculated on the significant
intervals with the calculation and assumptions reported
below the relevant tables.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect
(e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).
Information from other drilling in the area as well as
geological mapping indicate that the downhole intervals
may be fairly close to the true width, but more structural
information is needed to determine the exact
orientation of the mineralised zones.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
Diagrams relevant to the report content are included in
the body of the report.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable, representative reporting of
both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
Refer to tables in Appendix A.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material,
should be reported including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density,
groundwater,
geotechnical
and
rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
The references to IP geophysics refers specifically to
chargeability results from various methods of induced
polarisation geophysics unless otherwise specified.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests
for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale
step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological interpretations
and future drilling areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
