HIGH GRADE RESULTS – TARGETING RESOURCE

16 SEPTEMBER 2015

GEOPACIFIC RESOURCES LIMITED ACN 003 208 393

ASX Code: GPR

[email protected] www.geopacific.com.au

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

Geopacific’s aggressive exploration program is ‘kicking goals’ in line with the strategy of targeting a maiden resource while increasing the potential of new areas and simultaneously completing a scoping study. The company is fully funded to achieve this strategy with the $23M fundraising package being successfully completed in early August.

PROJECTS

CAMBODIA: Kou Sa Copper

Drilling continues to return impressive results with intersections including:

  • KRC122 - 0.55m at 51g/t of gold - Prospect 190 (Gold)

  • KRC145 - 24m at 8.47% Cu eq from 4m incl. 16m at 12.39% Cu eq from 8m - Prospect 150

The one RC and two diamond drill rigs are on-site and making good progress through the Cambodian wet season. Drilling commenced in July following the announcement that funding for 12 months had being secured.

Drilling results

FIJI: Sabeto/Vuda Gold-Copper Rakiraki Gold Nabila Copper-Gold

The drilling program has two focus areas, infill drilling and testing of new areas that have been identified by Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysics. Intersections continue to return high-grade results, helping move the project forward on the strategy of targeting a maiden resource while testing new areas and completing a scoping study.

Infill drilling

Infill drilling is underway at Prospects 150 and 160, which are the two most advanced prospects at Kou Sa.

A potential feeder zone has been identified at Prospect 150 in hole KRC145 which recorded

  • 24m at 11.48g/t Au and 1.33 %Cu for 8.47% Cu eq from 4m

Figure 1 details the Prospect areas and highlights significant near-surface results from the current drilling. The relationship between high chargeability in the IP Geophysics (in red and white) and base metal zones continues to be confirmed by drilling results. The potential to discover more zones of mineralisation in untested IP chargeability anomalies is evident.

Figure 1: Significant near surface results on IP Geophysics map of the prospect areas

Prospect 150

Diamond and RC drilling has extended the current mineralisation to the north, east and very significantly to the north-west where a potential feeder zone to the main mineralisation has been identified. This zone strikes north north-west and has been intercepted in four holes. The zone was targeted after the results from a deep looking IP survey identified a potential deeper anomaly.

The mineralisation defined to date at all Prospects can be seen on the fly through video.

Prospect 160

An RC rig has moved to Prospect 160 this week to begin infill drilling. Results will be released in the coming weeks and months.

Drill testing new areas

The twelve IP anomalies tested since July have all confirmed base metals and / or gold and silver mineralisation. Targets identified by IP Geophysics are being tested to increase the overall potential of the project. IP Geophysics continues to locate drill targets that successfully identify mineralisation.

At Prospect 128, a new zone of mineralisation has been identified to the south-west including:

  • KDH124 -2m at 2.05% Cu eq from 72.4m incl. 1.6m at 4.79% Cu from 72.4m

  • KRC133 - 16m at 1.73% Cu eq from 16m

  • KRC140 – 16m at 0.68 Au g/t and 0.56% Cu from 48m incl. 8 metres at 1.24 Au g/t and 0.53% Cu from 48m

Gold mineralisation has also been encountered in this area for the first time. Further IP geophysics and drilling will be used to interpret the geological formations and potential of Prospect 128.

At Prospect 190 (Gold), significant gold mineralisation continues to be identified by diamond drilling which Includes:

  • A high-grade zone of 0.55m @ 51g/t Au and 75.2g/t Ag.

  • Broad at-surface mineralisation

==> picture [253 x 280] intentionally omitted <==

The gold zone at Prospect 190 is thought to be at the top of an extended mineralising system. This system may produce base metal zones at depth, similar to those identified in the base metal zones at Prospect 190 (South), which are directly south of the gold area. The location of the two zones in Prospect 190 can be seen above in Figure 2 .

This will be tested with deeper looking IP geophysics to identify drill targets.

The base metal zone at Prospect 190 (South) continues to intersect good copper and silver mineralisation, with wide zones of zinc, up to 14% in individual samples also being encountered.

Ongoing exploration

RC drilling has been testing the Prospects 128 and 150, moved to Prospect 160 this week and will move to Prospects 120 and 190 in the coming months.

IP geophysics has identified further areas for drill testing as the survey fills-in and extends previous coverage.

A recent review of all exploration data has also identified the need to assess several areas that may have deeper intrusive sources. Considerably deeper penetrating geophysics will be used to determine if these sources are the drivers for the nearer surface mineralisation currently being identified.

News flow on exploration results will continue over the coming weeks and months.

Geophysics

The style of sulphide mineralization at Kou Sa is readily identified by the current technique of IP geophysics, leading to the high level of success in continuing to confirm mineralisation associated with geophysical anomalies. IP geophysics has been dubbed the ‘silver bullet’ for Geopacific on the Kou Sa Project, leading to over 80% of drill holes resulting in mineralisation.

Additional geophysics are underway with results expected later in the year. The results are anticipated to increase the potential of the project by identifying new anomalies both at surface and at depth and confirming the results of geochemistry.

Scoping study

The scoping study is underway with an investigation into the factors that will have an impact on taking the Kou Sa project into production. The initial investigation and following study will give Geopacific an understanding of the logistics, financial matters, power and other infrastructure availability, metallurgy as well as construction and mining costs.

Geopacific has engaged in discussions with the Cambodian Electricity Commission. They have indicated that energising the recently constructed power lines is on schedule for later this year. This means that Geopacific will have access to the national grid-power in the local village of Chheb. Chheb is only 5km from the site on a bitumen highway that extends to Siem Reap.

The power is generated by a hydroelectric system, which is considerably more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than diesel generated power.

A significant reduction to power costs will be hugely beneficial to the overall viability of the project because power is anticipated to be a major cost associated with developing and running the mine in future.

Managing Director, Ron Heeks said

We are focussed on achieving our strategy – growing the overall potential of Kou Sa while targeting a maiden resource and completing a scoping study. We are working though our action plan to deliver the milestones toward the strategy and look forward to continually updating you on the progress we are making.

The results in this release continue to highlight the potential of our most advanced prospects, while providing encouraging results from exploring new areas.

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, Golden Resources Development Co (GRRC). The Kou Sa Project covers 158km2.

The Royal Group is the largest 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, predating the Vietnamese and regional civil wars. In 2009, the Vendors (GRRC) 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.

NOTES:

All RC results are highlighted in green and are 4m composites. Any interval marked with an asterisk (*) are wet samples.

Intervals are selected on a 0.5% Cu eq. or 0.5g/t Au cutoff.

Equivalent grades are based on a US dollar gold price of $1,300/oz, copper price of $7,000/tonne, and silver price of $20/oz. Equivalent grades were calculated as follows:

Cu % (Eq) = Cu % + [((Au g/t x Au price per gram) ÷ Cu price per tonne) x 100] + [((Ag g/t x Ag price per gram) ÷ Cu price per tonne) x 100]

Initial metallurgical testwork suggests that metal recoveries for the 150 Prospect will be in the range of: copper >95%, gold >92% silver >90% (ASX release 26 March 2015). Metallurgical testwork has not been undertaken on other prospects at this time.

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 diamond drilling (DD) and
percussion drilling (RC).
Sampling of the diamond drilling comprised quarter core
samples taken based on lithological, alteration, and
mineralisation breaks observed in geological logging.
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.
IP geophysical surveys completed include gradient array
geophysics at Prospects 150, 117, 128, 170, 180, and 190
as well as a dipole-dipole IP surveys at Prospect 100 and
150. Survey data was monitored on a day-by-day basis
by the consultant and company representative, and the
data was deemed to be of high quality.
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.
Core was cut using a core saw in half then one side
quartered. RC samples comprised four metre
composites collected using a PVC spear, and one metre
splits collected using a rifle splitter.
The DD and 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.).
Diamond drilling was undertaken using triple tube
methodology in a variety of core sizes including PQ and
HQ and NQ depending on the ground conditions and
depth of investigation.
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.
Core recovery is recorded by measuring the core
recovered from the drillhole against the actual drilled
metres.
Bulk RC drill samples were visually inspected by the
supervising geologist to ensure adequate sample
recoveries were achieved.

Page 15

==> picture [595 x 113] intentionally omitted <==

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
The use of triple tube drilling as well as shorter runs in
zones of broken ground were used to maximise the
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 throughout the drillholes,
consistently above 90%, and as such there is no sample
bias introduced as a result of sample recovery. There
were small zones of core loss within a couple of holes
that resulted in sample loss.
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 core and chips were geologically logged by
Geopacific geologists using the Geopacific’s logging
procedure.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography.
Drill core and chips were logged both qualitatively (e.g.
lithology, alteration, structure, etc.) and quantitatively
(e.g. veining and mineralisation percentage, structural
orientation angles, etc.). Drill core is photographed both
dry and wet and is stored in plastic core 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.
Core is sawn quarter core, with one quarter sent for
sample preparation and analysis. The remaining core is
stored in the core trays.
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. All RC intervals reported in this
announcement were of dry samples.
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.

Page 16

==> picture [595 x 113] intentionally omitted <==

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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.
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 are being measured from accurately located
data points (RTK GPS survey data) using tap- and-
compass method for more accurate data. These collars
will be accurately located in the next round of surveying.
IP geophysical sampling points were located using
handheld GPS.
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. The majority of drill holes discussed in this report
represent the exploration phase drill-out of new areas.
Holes were drilled on regionally selected exploration
targets and do not represent a resource drill-out stage.
Where drilling was infill in nature, the spacing of the
drillholes is a maximum of 40m.
IP geophysical surveys were completed using the
following spacings:

Gradient array: 25m dipoles on 100m spaced
lines
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. Exploration in this
area is still in an early stage and therefore this point is
not applicable for this announcement.

Page 17

==> picture [595 x 113] intentionally omitted <==

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Whether sample compositing has been applied. Results released in this announcement that refer to
diamond drilling are not subject to compositing. The
results that refer to RC drilling are all 4m composites.
One metre splits will be sent in from significant zones.
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.
The majority of the results reported are from new
prospects where orientation of the mineralised zones is
not currently well defined. The mineralised zone at
Prospect 128 is interpreted to be flat lying and as such,
no significant bias has been introduced. Some of the RC
drilling at Prospect 150 may be drilling at a slightly acute
angle to the structure but this has not been fully verified
and as such the current interpretation suggests no bias
has been introduced.
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 to the
diamond drillholes 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

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.

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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.
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.

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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.
