HIGHLIGHTS

  • Drilling at the Sabeto Project returned a 32m zone of anomalous gold and copper grading 0.24g/t Au and 0.12% Cu from 90m downhole within altered sanidine porphyry intrusive, plus epithermal gold-base metal mineralisation grading up to 5.1g/t Au over intervals between 0.5 and 2m.

  • The drilling confirms the prospectivity of Sabeto for both gold-rich disseminated porphyry related gold copper mineralisation and low temperature epithermal vein style gold base metal deposits.

  • Previously unsampled zones of fracture-controlled base-metal sulphide mineralisation, similar to that associated with high gold values at Faddy’s, identified in historic drillholes from Mistry prospect.

  • Meetings held with Fiji’s Attorney General and Australia’s Shadow Foreign Minister.

PROJECTS & ACTIVITIES

NABILA PROJECT

SPL1216 - 100% Millennium Mining (Fiji) Ltd (subsidiary of GPR) SPL1415 - 100% Millennium Mining (Fiji) Ltd (subsidiary of GPR)

Re-assaying Mistry Core

During a technical review of the project at the end of May 2012, fracture-controlled base metal mineralisation, similar to that associated with high-gold values at Faddy’s, was noted in unsampled intervals of several historic drillholes in the Mistry mine area. These holes occur in an arcuate zone of alteration and anomalous geochemistry which extends about 2km to the Faddy’s prospect.

Re-logging of these holes has commenced, with re-sampling due for completion in Q3 2012.

This development significantly increases the size potential for the Faddy’s/Mistry target.

Structural Interpretation

Geopacific’s technical staff conducted a structural interpretation of the Faddy’s Prospect area. This interpretation was completed using local geological knowledge of the project area as well as utilising various satellite and geophysical images. Below is a summary of the major findings:

  • Five major structural trends are observed in the Nabila area; E-W, NW-SE, NNW-SSE, NNESSW and NE-SW.

  • At Faddys, gold mineralisation is associated with the NE-SW and ENE-WSW.

  • These are mainly thrust faults and, in some places, strike slip faults.

  • Gold mineralisation can be found in the flatter part of the thrust faults and also along strike slip faults, running northeast to north northeast.

  • Weak to moderate gold and base metal mineralisation can be found along the NNW and the NNE structures in other parts of Nabila area.

These interpretations, along with planned ground magnetics in the area, will allow Geopacific to understand the structural architecture of the Faddys trend, allowing for the potential identification of more mineralised structures in the area.

Diamond Drilling

During the quarter two drillholes were completed at the Sabeto Project for a total of 564.3 metres. Due to severe bad weather in April and May, the drilling program was delayed, restricting access to the drill sites.

The holes were designed to test the Sabeto resistive ZTEM anomaly, as well as fracture-controlled gold mineralisation and alteration defined by surface mapping and geochemistry. Significant gold mineralisation was intersected in both holes.

Hole SBDD0001 intersected a 32m zone of anomalous gold and copper averaging 0.24g/t Au and 0.12% Cu from 90m downhole, including a 4m zone of unsampled core, for which null values were assumed in the calculation of intercepts, with a best assay of 1.49 g/t Au and 0.50% Cu over two metres from 114m downhole. The mineralisation comprises very fine bornite disseminated within an altered sanidine porphyry intrusive.

Hole SBDD0002 encountered numerous 0.5 to 2 metre zones of epithermal carbonate-base metal veining, with assays received to date up to 5.1g/t gold, 0.2% Cu, 0.3% Pb, and 0.7% Zn (see Table 2 below).

Figure 3: Plan map of the Sabeto diamond drilling

The drilling confirms the presence of a multiphase intrusive complex, intruding the Sabeto volcanics. Lithologies intersected by the drilling comprised biotite monzonite, sanidine feldspar porphyry, and basaltic andesite intrusions within Sabeto volcanics.

Alteration is dominated by weak to moderate chlorite-epidote alteration, with minor fracture-coat and disseminated pyrite. Epithermal quartz-calcite veins are observed within the core of both drill holes, with illite-smectite alteration selvages, suggesting that these drill holes were drilled on the

edge of a system. Mineralisation observed in the drill core comprises fine-grained disseminated bornite and chalcopyrite, with sphalerite-galena-chalcopyrite identified within the epithermal veins in SBDD0002.

Styles of mineralisation differ between the two drillholes with mineralisation in SBDD0001 associated with a zone of fine-grained bornite-magnetite within a porphyritic intrusive, while mineralisation in SBDD0002 is defined by narrow, high-grade carbonate base-metal veins.

While grades encountered are clearly sub-economic to date, this drilling confirms the prospectivity of Sabeto for both gold-rich disseminated porphyry related gold copper mineralisation, and low temperature epithermal vein style gold base metal deposits. The high gold to copper ratios encountered in hole SBDD0001, accompanied by relatively weak alteration, are regarded as particularly encouraging in this respect. A detailed review of structure and district scale geophysics has been initiated, supported by additional field mapping, to help locate follow up drill targets.

CAKAUDROVE PROJECT

SPL1493 - 100% Geopacific Ltd (subsidiary of GPR) Granted 31/01/2012

Stream Sediment Sampling

A review of Geopacific’s geophysical data (including ZTEM) was done during the quarter, several anomalies were identified within the Cakaudrove tenement. The two higher ranked anomalies were chosen for initial stream sediment and rock chip sampling, one of which was located close to the Dakuniba prospect; an area with known high-grade gold-silver epithermal veining.

Sampling commenced during June 2012 and is expected to finish Q3 2012. A total of just under 500 stream sediment samples will be collected from the two areas. Initially, the majority of the samples will be collected at close sample spacing over the Dakuniba prospect, with only a first-pass broad sample spacing at the second anomaly. Samples will be sieved to -80 mesh and sent to ALS for analysis. Results from this drilling program are expected in the quarter.

NUKU PROJECT

SPL1377 - 100% Geopacific Ltd (subsidiary of GPR) CX667 (application) – 100% Geopacific Ltd (subsidiary of GPR)

No field work was completed during the quarter.

Tenement Renewals

Renewals for the Raki Raki and Qalau tenements (SPLs 1231 & 1373) were received, effective for one year from 1[st] June 2012. The Tabuka tenement (SPL 1436), initially flagged for non-renewal by the MRD, was reinstated to Beta Limited (subsidiary of GPR).

OTHER

GEOPHYSICAL REVIEW

A geophysical consultant, Bob Lo, who is at the forefront of the ZTEM technology, was contracted by Geopacific to review the ZTEM data and its relation to the geology encountered within the survey areas.

After a site visit to Fiji, Bob Lo and Bill Peters (Southern Geoscience) reviewed the various geophysical and geological data in connection with the ZTEM, identifying several areas of interest throughout Geopacific’s tenements. These areas were assigned a ranking from low to high. Some of the areas identified within this review have already been tested (i.e. the Nabila deep conductive anomaly); however, numerous areas still remain untested.

These areas are now being prioritised and an exploration programs designed to test these areas based on the style of mineralisation is expected in the Q4 2012.
