Drilling in the area of the Kulumadau West deposit targeted depth extensions of the mineralisation with success. Results returned strong zones of high-grade mineralisation within 100 metres of the base of the 2012 pit design, increasing certainty around inferred mineralisation identified in historic drilling.

Drilling to the north of the Kulumadau East deposit continued to return broad zones of near-surface mineralisation, which remains open along strike and at depth.

Focused drilling assessing depth extensions at Kulumadau and Busai confirms broad gold mineralisation below 2012 pit designs

Ongoing development drilling at Busai has confirmed the presence of broad gold intercepts below the Busai Main deposit. These results compliment previously released intersections and confirm the continuation of gold mineralisation below the 2012 pit design.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Depth extensions confirmed below pit designs

• Broad zones of mineralisation at Busai and Kulumadau

• Continuity of mineralisation confirmed

Kulumadau:

• 18m @ 10.29g/t Au from 231m

Geopacific Managing Director Ron Heeks said

“ We are pleased that these results continue to demonstrate the potential to expand Woodlark. They confirm the mineralisation continues down-dip and below the 2012 pit designs at both the Kulumadau and Busai deposits. Kulumadau East also continues to produce positive results .

Depth extensions at the Kulumadau West deposit

Kulumadau West is the main area of the Kulumadau deposit, characterised by broad, strong zones of gold mineralisation. This mineralisation is generally associated with cataclaisite breccias and related clay alterations.

Recent drilling at Kulumadau West aimed to define depth extensions to the mineralisation and to improve inferred resources below the base of the 2012 pit design. Results have confirmed and extended the down-dip continuity of mineralisation which remains open at depth. The depth of the 2012 pit design varies between 130 to 150 metres, with current results within 100 metres of the pit base.

The high-grade nature of the Kulumadau deposit’s central zone can clearly be seen in the longitudinal section with impressive results including:

• 11m @ 36.3g/t Au

• 36m @12.52g/t Au

• 48m @ 10.39g/t Au

• 52m @ 4.72g/t Au

Drillhole KU17DD011 intersected 18m @ 10.29g/t Au from 231m , confirming the high-grade, down-dip continuity of Kulumadau West mineralisation.

New results are marked with the yellow labels. Mineralisation remains open at depth.

Further drilling success to the north of the Kulumadau East deposit

Previous results in this area were announced on 21 March and 15 June 2017 with new results demonstrating continuity. New significant intercepts include:

• 22m @ 2.8g/t Au from 53m

• 30m @2.08g/t Au from 28m

Geopacific’s geological team were able to use their growing knowledge of the deposit to target mineralisation, returning results that continue the trend of broad intersections of mineralisation from surface. The grades and style of mineralisation are consistent with the Kulumadau East deposit. Mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth, with further drilling underway to test the dimensional aspects of the mineralisation.

Mineralisation in this area falls outside the current Reserve inventory and is approximately 100m north-east of the 2012 proposed East Kulumadau pit boundary as seen in the drillhole location plan Figure 3.

Mineralisation at Kulumadau East is “blind” , covered at surface by a thin layer of soft coronus material (limestone). The coronus covers a large portion of the island and has hindered exploration in the past. Geophysical techniques present the opportunity to unlock the exploration potential of Woodlark by aiding further discoveries of this nature.

Drilling and results at the Busai deposit

Recent drilling was designed to test the potential for strike and down dip extensions of gold mineralisation at Busai, focusing primarily on the Busai Main portion of the deposit where earlier drilling indicated the likelihood for mineralisation to continue at depth. These drill results confirm the continuity of mineralisation up to 70 metres below the 2012 pit design.

Geological logging has identified a correlation between higher gold grades and complex, multiple phases of breccia development.

Gold grades are higher where brecciation is accompanied by cherty haematite, haematite alteration, quartzcarbonate veining and particularly the presence of minor base metal sulphides such as galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. Modelling of the breccias can then be used to predict the orientation of the gold zones.

Using the recently-developed breccia logging system established by Geopacific, modelling indicated a strong possibility for the mineralised system to persist down dip as shown in Figure 4 below.

Figure 4: Cross section showing selected results and the alteration phases in the breccia units .

Diamond hole BS17DD018 was drilled to test for continuity of complex mineralised breccias down dip from previously announced gold mineralisation intersected in BS17DD007. The hole successfully intersected strongly mineralised breccia at predicted depths.

Recent diamond drilling beneath the Busai Main deposit confirms the down-dip continuity of gold mineralisation and remains open down dip. Figure 5 represents an oblique section of drilling completed by Geopacific and shows both down-dip and down-plunge potential for additional mineralisation.

(In order to simplify the image, results for historical drillholes are not included in Figure 5)

Shallow RC drilling in the northern portion of Busai Main, designed to test for possible extensions of gold deposited at the unconformity between underlying volcanicalstics and much younger coronus marine sediment cover, continued to define relatively thin zones of gold mineralisation.

The location of recent drillholes is indicated on the drillhole location plan in Figure 6.

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) or RC drilling. Sampling of the diamond drilling comprised half core samples taken based on lithological, alteration, and mineralisation breaks observed in geological logging. RC samples were collected on a 1m interval with approximately 2kg collected from a riffle splitter. Samples were sent for fire assay gold and four-acid multi-element analysis by ICPMS method. Blank, duplicate, and standard samples were inserted in at various intervals based on Geopacific’s QAQC procedure to ensure assay results are representative and repeatable.
	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 50gm 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 in half using a core saw. Where core competency was low, whole core was wrapped in plastic clingfilm to help maintain integrity of the sampled interval while being cut. RC samples of approximately 2kg were collected on 1m intervals. Samples were prepared on the on-site sample prep laboratory operated by ITS Pty Ltd PNG (Intertek Services Ltd). Standard preparation of samples is to crush ~2kg through a jaw crushed, with a blank bottle wash between each sample. Crushed sample is then transferred to a LM-2 pulveriser for reduction to pulp. A 150gm pulp sample is split from the master sample and submitted for analysis. Coarse reject material and pulps are bagged and stored on site for future reference. Samples were sent for fire assay gold analysis using a 50g charge, as well as multi-element analysis using multi-acid digest with ICP finish at Intertek’s Townsville laboratory.

CRITERIA	JORC CODE EXPLANATION	COMMENTARY
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.).	Hole with an RC suffix were drilled by Reverse circulation drilling (RC), using a 139mm hammer. Holes with a DD suffix were drilled PQ or HQ diameter triple tube. All core is oriented using Reflex digital ori tool for all core diameters. Holes with a RD suffix were PQ or HQ diamond drill holes with a RC pre-collar
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 drill hole against the actual drilled metres. RC samples are weighed for each metre and assessed for recovery, contamination and effect of water if present.
	Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.	Triple tube barrel for diamond drilling plus closely monitored drill mud regime. Short drill runs used in areas of broken ground. RC drilling on 1 metre basis using cemented pvc casing to 12m to ensure tight collar seal and minimise outside circulation.
	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 data shows good recovery throughout the drill holes, consistently above 90%, and as such there is no sample bias introduced because of sample 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 core and chips was geologically logged by Geopacific geologists using Geopacific logging procedure. Geotechnical logging of Rock Quality Designation (RQD), hardness, degree of fracturing and weathering is undertaken by Geopacific staff using Geopacific’s logging procedure.
	Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography.	Drill core and chips was 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	If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.	Core is halved, with one half sent for sample preparation and analysis. The remaining core is stored in the core trays on site.

and sample preparation	If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.	RC samples weighed, and if dry, riffle split using a three-tier system generating a collective 12.5% split of the original metre sample for analysis. In areas of un-mineralised material, a 4-metre composite is taken by 25% splitting each component 1m sample and combining for a single sample for submission. Residual original split material is reserved should anomalous values be encountered and individual metre samples be required. Wet samples are placed in a clean container, mixed and spear sampled, mixed again and spear sampled, with resultant sub sample mixed and spear sampled again for submission.
	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; one 150gm sample for submission with residue stored on site.
	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 at a nominal 1 duplicate in every 20 samples which is in line with industry standards.
	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.

	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.	Drilling results released in this announcement indicate new areas of unrecognised mineralisation that may or may not add to a future resource calculation. Data points are somewhat isolated from surrounding information and require additional drill holes to support interpretations and subsequent inclusion in future ore resource calculations.
	Whether sample compositing has been applied.	No composite sampling in announced results.
Orientation of data in relation to	Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.	Current interpretations of the mineralised zones in all areas indicate that the orientation of the drill holes has achieved unbiased sampling of the structures.

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 is negotiating a Joint Venture agreement with Kula Gold Ltd (ASX:KGD) to acquire a 75% interest by spending AUD$18.65m over three tranches. In Tranches 1 and 2, Geopacific must spend AUD$8m within the first two years to earn an initial 35% interest in operating company WML. Should Geopacific delineate a Reserve base of >1.2M Oz Au within the two-year period it will be deemed to hold a 51% interest in WML. Geopacific can increase its ownership to 60% of WML by completing the earn in expenditure (Tranche 3) without delineating the Reserve target of 1.2M Oz Au. Should that target be met as part of Tranche 3 expenditure, Geopacific will be deemed to have earned a 75% interest in WML.

Geology	Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.	Most of Woodlark Island is covered by a veneer of Plio-Pleistocene limestones (coronus) of variable thickness with associated marine clays and basal conglomerates. A central elevated portion of the island (horst structure) contains Miocene volcanic rocks intruded by late stage, high K porphyritic intrusives and contains the known historical mines. Gold mineralisation within the Woodlark Island Gold Project is principally hosted by andesites and their sub-volcanic equivalents within the Miocene age stratigraphic unit known as the Okiduse Volcanics. The mineralisation is variously associated with lodes, quartz veins, stockwork zones and breccias developed within proximal phyllic and marginal propylitic alteration envelopes regionally associated with intrusive breccia complexes. Gold mineralisation is consistent with low sulphidation, base metal carbonate, epithermal systems typical of the south-west Pacific.
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.	See Appendix A, Table 1.
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 0.5g/t Au and were calculated using weighted averaging.

CRITERIA	JORC CODE EXPLANATION	COMMENTARY
	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.	N/A
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 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 Appendix A, table 1.
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.	Refer to text.
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.
