ABOUT GEOPACIFIC AND KOU-SA, CAMBODIA
The Company
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. With a proven management team, focused strategy and compelling results, exploration success is expected to continue and add to the potential size of the project.
Kou Sa 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 158km[2] .
The Royal Group is the largest conglomerate in Cambodia. They have entered into corporate ventures in Cambodia with the likes of ANZ and Siemens.
Kou Sa 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.
Kou Sa Discovery
Kou-Sa was identified by French geologists in the 1960’s, predating the Vietnamese and regional civil wars. In 2009, the Vendors (GRD) 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.
