On Market Share Sale to Existing Shareholders

Geopacific Resources Ltd (Geopacific ASX: GPR ) notes that Pacific Road Capital has today sold its 6% shareholding in Geopacific on market to a range of existing institutional and sophisticated shareholders.

Pacific Road became a shareholder in Geopacific through acceptance of Geopacific’s takeover offer for Kula Gold Limited in 2017. The Geopacific shares were held in a Pacific Road fund that is approaching the end of its term.

Geopacific welcomes the support of its existing shareholders which purchased the Pacific Road holding. The share trade was facilitated by Petra Capital.

As previously advised, Geopacific remains on track to complete the Definitive Feasibility Study for its Woodlark Gold Project by the end of September 2018. The Pre-Feasibility Study, released on 12 March 2018, demonstrated the potential for Woodlark to be a robust, low cost and low stripping operation capable of processing the current 1 million ounce Reserve[1] .

A major regional exploration campaign across Woodlark Island is now underway with the objective of growing the current 1.57 million ounce Mineral Resource. A regional sampling program underway has returned high-grade rock chip sampling and identified a number of major gold soil anomalies. The first drilling of a number of these exciting new targets will begin in October 2018.

Geopacific has also engaged Ironstone Capital to assist with securing finance for the Woodlark project.
