GEOPACIFIC – QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD TO 31 December 2010
Geopacific Resources NL (“Geopacific”) is pleased to provide the following report on corporate news and exploration activities undertaken at the Company’s Fiji projects during the three month period ending 31 December 2010. Additional information about the Company is available on Geopacific’s website at www.geopacific.com.au .
Highlights
Data from recent ZTEM and VTEM geophysical surveys has been processed and is being evaluated. The ZTEM system is very recently developed technology designed to seek large, buried mineral deposits to depths of up to 1.5 to 2 kilometres. Most of Geopacific’s exploration properties in Fiji have been covered in order to locate large ‘world class’ deposits and appropriate drill targets.
The results show many interesting features which include:
1. Two potentially large buried conductor targets at Nuku. These have been mapped and correspond to areas of clay-pyrite alteration and quartz-magnetite veining which could reflect underlying porphyry copper type deposits.
2. A deep resistivity anomaly south of the Faddy’s Gold Deposit (extends to over 500 metres depth) and could indicate an underlying gold mineralised system.
3. A deep resistivity target at Cakaudrove which is located beneath surface gold and pyrite occurrences and may be the expression of a large gold-mineralised intrusive system.
4. Numerous other anomalous features which are being assessed.
Exploration Activities
1. Helicopter-Borne Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) and Aeromagnetic Geophysical Survey
During mid to late 2010 Geotech Ltd (Geotech) carried out a helicopter-borne geophysical survey over the Nabila, Nadi South, Vuda-Sabeto, Raki Raki, and

Cakaudrove project areas (Figure 1). The principal geophysical sensors included a Z-Axis Tipper electromagnetic (ZTEM) system, and a caesium magnetometer. Ancillary equipment included a GPS navigation system and radar altimeter. A total of 2288.4 line-kilometres were completed in the survey which covered a total area of 960 square kilometres.
Preliminary and final data processing, including generation of final digital data and map products were undertaken at the offices of Geotech in Aurora, Ontario. In late 2010 Geotech reported the results of the work and these are summarised below. Further processing and interpretation of the data is currently being undertaken by Southern Geoscience Consultants Pty Ltd of Perth.

Four distinctive conductive trends were identified by Geotech. Two closely follow the trend of the two main mountain ridges in the area. Magnetic data show two large, semicircular magnetic blocks on both sides of one of the conductive features and another small circular magnetic anomaly was also

identified. The conductive features include shallow, narrow zones as well as deeper conductive bodies.
The Faddy’s gold deposit is located at the northern end of the surveyed block characterised by a contrasting high resistive area (Figure 2), potentially related to intrusive rocks and/or silica alteration zones, capped by more conductive layer-like conductive areas, which may indicate argillic alteration and/or marly rocks. ZTEM inversion of the Faddy’s – old Mistry Gold Mine area shows that a two kilometre long resistivity anomaly is oriented north-south and is located between both deposits. The resistive feature may represent a deep sulphide target and is clearly anomalous at depths of over 475 metres. The anomaly has a steep westerly dip and could present a deep drill target in this area.
1.2 Nadi South ZTEM Survey
Eight distinct conductive trends were identified by Geotech and six have a north east strike. They are located in the north of the area and can be interpreted across all frequencies. The magnetic signal in the south of the area is higher than in the north and shows small scattered magnetic anomalies trending west to east.
At shallow depths, all of the conductive trends are associated with local, modelled conductive anomalies and as the depth of each increases the modelled resistivity distribution show a large, conductive volume in the north in contact with moderate to large resistive blocks in the south.
Geopacific’s Togo porphyry prospect is marked by a plume of relative high chargeabilty values located near ground surface to depths greater than 400 metres and a large area of low resistivity, located west and north of the chargeability anomaly, flanks a small zone of higher resistivity values.
1.3 Vuda and Sabeto ZTEM Survey
Geotech has recognised eight conductive trends in the survey area and these correlate with high topography and magnetic highs. An interesting circular high resistivity anomaly occurs in the western part of the area and corresponds with a topographic basin.
Near the centre of the surveyed block, magnetic anomalies align in three distinctive trends with west-east directions. In the east, the most prominent alignment changes to a northwest strike and one conductor is underlain by a high resistive body that widens with depth. In the west, three conductive trends appear to be shallow anomalies which become poorly resolved at depth. Geotech noted an interesting circular, high-resistivity anomaly in the southcentral part of the survey area and this corresponds to an isolated magnetic high.
Geotech described a comparison of resistivity patterns from east to west that may relate to mineralized areas. Vuda has numerous surface gold mineralised

Figure 2. ZTEM inversion showing a depth plan at -475 metres RL (475m below sea level). A resistivity anomaly oriented north-south is located between the Faddy’s Gold Deposit and the old Mistry Gold Mine. The Mistry deposit has a recorded production of 23.2kg of gold, 6.4kg of silver and 20.3t of lead from 1,720 tonnes of ore between 1947 and 1957 (average gold grade of 13.5 g/t).

prospect areas (including Natalau, Ista’s, Teitei, and Crown) with soil and shallow gold anomalies correlated with structural trends and alteration zones. In this area, Geotech’s resistivity map at 350 metre depth shows a potential association of conductivity trends with geological structures. Geotech also noted two eastern areas of interest and these are associated with high resistivity anomalies.
1.4 RakiRaki ZTEM Survey
Six conductive trends were highlighted by Geotech and at high frequencies each of these appears as a distinctive, narrow stripe which correlates with high topography. At low frequencies the conductive trends become broader and connect. A few high magnetic anomalies are scattered over the RakiRaki area and a low magnetic band with northwest strike is located in the southwest.
At shallow depths, four of the conductive lineaments are represented by narrow modelled conductive features. One is moderately conductive, and appears to dip to the north. Another has no indication of any conductor close to ground surface, but at depth the resistivity decreases.
Resistivity patterns near the known mineralized area of the BR Grid (which contains near surface gold at prospects including Qalau and 4300E) show a potential correlation of conductive trends with structural features (Figure 3). Geotech also identified an anomalous area with a similar structural setting to the east of the BR Grid.
1.5 Cakaudrove ZTEM Survey
Geotech identified four conductive trends and all appear as distinctive stripes coinciding with higher topography. A resistivity high with a possibly circular shape is bounded by two of the conductive trends. The west side of the survey has a regional magnetic low. Near the resistivity high, magnetic anomalies become more pronounced and steep in gradient.
In the east of the Cakaudrove survey area, isolated magnetic highs are widely distributed and a prominent deep resistivity anomaly is apparent (Figure 4). This is located directly beneath a known gold (Dakuniba Gold Prospect) and pyritequartz vein occurrences which have been investigated by shallow trenching by Fiji Government geologists but which have not been explored by modern geochemical surveys or deep drill testing. Geopacific plans to undertake mapping and sampling as initial follow-up of this target and others in the Cakaudrove survey area. Future exploration may include deep drilling to test the depth extent of this large anomaly.

2. Helicopter-Borne VTEM Geophysical Survey at Nuku
Two prominent conductive anomalies were located by the VTEM (electromagnetic) survey undertaken at Nuku (Figure 1). The Nuku VTEM survey was flown at the time of the ZTEM work by Geotech Ltd and utilised the same helicopter and geophysical crew.
Conductor anomaly A (Figure 5) is located in the southern central part of the tenement and extends for approximately 1.5 kilometres along a NW-SE trend. The conductive rock is a possible clay alteration zone which could cap a deposit of porphyry copper type mineralisation. Anomalous metals occur at surface including elevated gold, zinc and silver and geologic mapping during late 2010 has shown that the anomaly corresponds to a clay and quartz-pyrite-clay altered dioritic intrusive rock with zones of vein stock working of quartz-pyrite-magnetite (Figure 5, top right). Anomaly A includes two small magnetic features and is surrounded by larger magnetic high anomalies between 0.5 kilometres to a kilometre long. Outcropping gold and zinc mineralisation occurs at Wailoaloa skarn, the eastern magnetic feature and Wailoaloa as well as the other magnetic, non conductive anomalies are interpreted as skarn deposits which appear to radiate from a central, porphyry system centred beneath the clay alteration at Anomaly A.
Anomaly B is located above a zone of quartz-magnetite-pyrite veining and alteration which may also reflect underlying rocks with potential for a large low grade porphyry copper type target. This anomaly corresponds with a magnetic high zone which may suggest a considerable depth to potential underlying mineralisation. Interpretation of Anomaly B is made difficult due to the location of a regional electrical transmission line which crosses the project area in the northern part of the feature.
Geopacific will consider further follow-up with induced polarisation groundbased geophysical surveys and deep drilling to test for large, buried mineralised deposits beneath Anomalies A and B.

3. Drilling at the Faddy’s Gold Deposit (Faddy’s)
Two diamond drill holes were completed during the period (FAD049 and FAD050, Table 1, Figure 6) and high gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper intervals were returned from by diamond drill core from holes peripheral to the known mineralisation (FAD047-FAD050, Table 2).
The high-grade mineralised intervals intersected peripheral to near-surface gold mineralisation at Faddy’s confirm that the deposit extends for at least 200 metres south west along strike as well as to the north of the deposit (Figure 6).
FAD050, located to the south west of Faddy’s contained 1.20 metres (from 47.9m) of 14.17g/t gold and 49.7g/t silver including 0.6 metres of 21.7g/t Au from 48.5 metres. High grades were also intersected in FAD049 where 0.60

Maximized core recovery for the drill holes was important and Exploration Drilling Services Pty Ltd (EDS) continued to provide excellent drill core recoveries of close to 100%. Drill core was geologically logged and photographed. Drill core from mineralized intervals of each hole was sampled (cut as half core) and forwarded to the ALS Chemex sample preparation laboratory in Suva where each sample was processed and sent to Australia for gold, silver and base metal analyses.
4. Drilling at Red Ridge Prospect, Nadi South
Two diamond drill holes (RRD001 and RRD002) were completed at the Red Ridge Prospect in the Nadi South Project. Both were drilled beneath gossanous and ferruginous basaltic volcanics with surface gold mineralisation in a steep dipping fracture zone. Costean surface samples on the ridge north of RRD001 and 2 were collected by CRA Exploration Pty Limited in 1988 and included 50 metres averaging 3.28g/t gold and 35 metres averaging 6.6g/t gold.
RRD001 was completed to 177.5 metres and RRD002 was finished at 254.3 metres. Both drill holes intersected strongly fractured basaltic volcanic rocks intruded by basic dykes. Wide zones of chlorite-quartz-magnetite-epidote alteration were intersected. Assays of drill core of both holes were completed in mid January. Gold assays were generally low with five intervals recording more than 0.5g/t gold (Table 3). The drilling results confirm that the high-grade gold located by soil sampling and trenching is supergene enriched.
