New results from gold discovery at Woodlark

The Board of Geopacific Resources Ltd (Geopacific) is pleased to provide assay results showing new gold intersections from the Boscalo area of the Woodlark Gold Project (Woodlark) in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

Highlights

  • Additional, near-surface gold mineralisation identified

  • Results include:

  • 11m @ 6.75g/t Au

  • 7m @ 5.87g/t Au

  • 3m @ 11.99g/t Au

  • Potential for repetition across large regional goldfield

New zones confirmed

Originally thought to be an extension of Kulumadau East mineralisation, Geopacific confirmed in December 2017 that Boscalo represents the discovery of a significant new zone of gold mineralisation situated beneath shallow cover adjacent to the Kulumadau East deposit.

The main zone strikes to the north-west and is currently delineated over a two hundred metre strike length using shallow RC drilling. Mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike. In addition to the main zone, a parallel zone of mineralisation between Boscalo and Kulumadau East has also been identified, further confirming the significant potential for additional gold discoveries in the area.

Boscalo

Boscalo was first identified with several broad and high-grade intercepts in June (released 15 June 2017: Woodlark – Success continues 18m @ 8.99g/t Au) .

The close proximity of Boscalo and the parallel zone to the Kulumadau East deposit is evident in the drillhole location plan, showing the potential for this mineralisation to be included into future pit designs.

Figure 2: Drillhole location plan showing results at the Boscalo discovery, north of Kulumadau East.

The mineralisation at Boscalo is typical of low sulphidation epithermal deposits. Mineralisation is associated with intensely hydrothermally-altered breccias developed within volcanic rocks. The orientation of the mineralised zone at Boscalo is different to Kulumadau East, striking to the north-west as opposed to the more north-south strike of Kulumadau East. Higher grade zones fall within a much broader, mineralised envelope, as indicated on the oblique section in figure 1. The majority of holes have been drilled to a shallow depth of 120 metres with some holes reaching 140 metres.

Managing director, Ron Heeks said

“The Boscalo discovery is an indicator of gold mineralisation that lies hidden beneath the shallow limestone veneer. Woodlark’s existing deposits only scratch the surface of the regional potential and our work to identify attractive exploration targets is progressing well. We are excited by the apparent discovery potential across our 60km[2] mining lease and 580km[2] of exploration licences.”

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 Reverse Circulation
Drilling (RC).
RC drilling samples were collected in 1m intervals
from a cyclone and weighed. The entire sample is
riffle split using a 75%/25% splitter, yielding
approximately 3kg sub split for assaying. The 75%
split is stored in plastic sample bags and removed
from site on the completion of the hole to a bag
farm for future reference if required.
The sample splitter is cleaned with compressed air
and water if necessary to ensure no contamination
between samples.
1 in 50 samples is a duplicate sample, collected as a
re-split of the residual sample material.
All samples were submitted to ITS Pty Ltd PNG
(Intertek
Services
Ltd)
-
operated
sample
preparation laboratory on site.
Sample pulps were sent for fire assay gold and four-
acid multi-element analysis by ICPMS method at
Intertek Genalysis Townsville analytical laboratory.
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.
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 kiln dry
samples, crush ~2kg through a jaw crusher, 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.).
Geopacific Resources RC drilling utilised a dual-
purpose Sandvik D880 rig, capable of drilling RC and
diamond. RC drilling used a 139mm face sampling
hammer and cyclone return. All RC holes were pvc
collared to 12m minimum. A 350psi / 850cfm
compressor plus booster compressor were utilised
for RC drilling.
All holes were downhole surveyed using a Reflex EZ
Gyroscope
Drill
Sample
Recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
RC drilling samples were all weighed on collection
form the cyclone, with relative moisture content
noted. A back-calculation of sample weight relative
to estimated specific gravity is made to assess for
potential downhole blowouts (where the hole
diameter gets enlarged by the action of the
compressed air against the wallrock at certain
intervals,
potentially
causing
downhole
contamination).
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
RC drilling utilised a booster compressor to assist
with keeping holes dry as deep as possible. All holes
are cement collared to prevent outside circulation
sample loss.
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.
Historically, some diamond drill core loss was
recorded in particularly poor ground, especially at
Kulumadau
West
diamond
drilling.
Gold
mineralisation in the cataclasite zones is typically
preferentially within the fine, muddy breccia matrix
as opposed to the harder, resistant breccia clasts.
Unless great care is taken through these zones, DD
drilling
may
inadvertently
wash
away
the
mineralised clays, resulting in overall core loss and
significantly reduced gold grades in the sampled
interval.
Geopacific has gone to great lengths to improve
drilling methodology and practice and as a result,
has consistently achieved good core recoveries.
Overall, there is no discernible bias recorded against
gold values and sample recoveries in Geopacific DD
and RC holes.
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 samples were geologically logged by
Geopacific geologists using Geopacific’s 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.

Drill core and RC 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.

and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter,
half or all core taken.
NA
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.
RC drilling used a cyclone and riffle splitter for dry
samples. If samples were damp, cuttings were
heaped, quartered, spear sampled, with the process
repeated 8 times per sample to generate a
representative sample. Unless drilling a precollar,
RC drilling is terminated if the sample cannot be
delivered dry. For precollar RC drilling, RC drilling is
outside the target ore zone and as there is no
expectation of encountering mineralisation, there is
minimal
concern
over
potential
sample
contamination for this section of the drill hole if the
sample is delivered wet. 4 metre composite samples
are collected for this style of drilling to ensure
analytical coverage of the entire hole.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and

sample
preparation
technique.
Samples are kiln dried, crushed to a nominal 2mm
by a jaw crusher, with the whole sample pulverised
to 85% passing 75µm 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. Two blank samples, two reference
standard samples and two duplicate samples are
included per 100 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. This includes two
blank samples and two field duplicate samples. Field
duplicated for RC drilling are created by splitting a
1m sample twice into two separate samples. For DD
core, core is quartered, with quarter core per
sample interval used.
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.

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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.
50gm 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 included in this
report.
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 drilling. Laboratory blanks, duplicates
and reference standards are routinely used. Results
from these QAQC samples were within the
acceptable ranges, with the only exception being
the detection of very low values of gold in a blank
sample. The weak gold value in a blank sample was
attributed to a preceding sample containing
significant amounts of free gold, which appeared to
have contaminated the jaw crusher in the sample
prep laboratory. A full review of equipment cleaning
and increased attention to the bottle wash process
has eliminated any repeat of this occurrence.
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.
Not applicable.
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 total station
surveying instrument. Survey control points were
established in 2007 across the project and provide
excellent ground control for total station surveying.
Downhole surveys using a Reflex EZ Gyro were
conducted on all drillholes with readings recorded
every 5 metres downhole.
Historical drilling utilised both a single shot down
hole camera and a multi shot downhole camera to
determine downhole dip and azimuth readings.
Specification of the grid system used. Coordinates are recorded in PNG94 geodetic system

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. LiDAR survey data obtained over the licence area,
tied in to total station collar readings provide sub-
metre accuracy.

Data spacing for reporting of resource calculation
results.
Drilling reported in this report relates to infill and
extensional drilling within Kulumadau and are
nominally spaced 50m x 25m, dependant on
accessibility to terrain.
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 report confirm
mineralisation delineated in previous drilling and
confirm both grade and geological continuity.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. Some RC drilling utilised 4m composites for initial
sampling of zones considered unlikely to host
mineralisation. All samples were split at 1m
intervals
and
where
deemed
appropriate,
composited using a 75/25 riffle splitter. Where
composite samples returned a gold value greater
than 0.25g/t Au, the zone was re sampled using
original 1 metre sample splits collected when the
hole was drilled.
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.
Current interpretations of the mineralised zones in
all areas indicate that the orientation of the
drillholes has achieved unbiased sampling of the
structures.
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 sampling bias has been introduced
to the drillholes reported herein.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security. All samples are collected by GPR staff and put into
numbered plastic bags, along with a corresponding
sample ticket, which are immediately sealed and
placed in order on a pallet with other samples in an
area directly adjacent to the onsite sample
preparation laboratory. The pallet containing the
sealed samples is then delivered directly into the
onsite sample prep lab, where chain of custody
hands over to ITS Ltd.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
QAQC sample data is constantly collected and
reviewed for each sample submission.

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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.
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.

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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’).
The orientation of drilling relative to strike and dip
of mineralisation encountered suggests there is
some variability to how perpendicular drillholes
have intersected mineralised zones. All drilling
attempts to intersect mineralised as close to
perpendicular as is possible. All intercepts are
downhole and not true width calculations.
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 body of the Report.
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.
