EXPLORATION OVERVIEW

■ Geopacific Resources is exploring for large porphyry Cu-Au systems

■ Geopacific Resources are currently:

  • Utilising modern exploration techniques (ZTEM geophysical surveys)

  • Revisiting old data using new data processing methods

■ Work programmes currently underway:

  • Trenching and soil auger geochemistry of Sabeto

  • Drilling 850m deep diamond hole at Nabila testing ZTEM anomaly

  • 3D processing of Cakaudrove ZTEM data

■ Short-term field programmes:

  • Planning drill locations at Sabeto

  • Soil auger sampling at Vuda

  • Trenching at Raki Raki

GEOPHYSICS – ZTEM

==> picture [296 x 330] intentionally omitted <==

  • Geopacific completed ZTEM geophysical surveys over most of it’s project areas:

  • Nabila, Vuda, Sabeto, Nadi South, Raki Raki, and Cakaudrove

  • New, state-of-the-art geophysical technique, used predominantly as a deep (~1-2km) geological/alteration mapping tool

  • Measures small electrical pulses from lightening strikes

  • Porphyry systems can produce both conductive and resistive anomalies

==> picture [130 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

EPITHERMAL/PORPHYRY CU-AU MODEL

==> picture [358 x 350] intentionally omitted <==

  • Possible position of Geopacific projects within a porphyry system model

  • Geopacific will test this theoretical model with drilling and surface geochemical techniques

  • ZTEM has provided targets for drilling at Nabila, Vuda, & Sabeto

■ Surface geochemistry will provide better targeting of drillholes

==> picture [130 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

NABILA PROJECT

10

==> picture [319 x 380] intentionally omitted <==

■ 3D inverted ZTEM data at Nabila identified a large conductive zone with a pronounced core (~1,000m x 500m)

■ Cross-section through core of anomaly shows core to be ~750 metres below the surface

■ Previous drilling over an IP anomaly close-by identified weak base metal mineralisation and alteration commonly associated with porphyry systems

  • Observed mineralisation & alteration provide indicators for depth of system

■ A deep (~850m) drillhole has started and expected completion is end of year with assays returned end of January

==> picture [130 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

11

SABETO & VUDA PROJECTS

==> picture [319 x 252] intentionally omitted <==

  • ZTEM sections at Vuda and Sabeto display a broad resistive anomaly at both projects

■ Historic drilling near the resistor at Vuda contains intersections of gold mineralisation not followed up with deeper drilling

■ Resistive anomaly coincident with gold & copper in soils and visible copper mineralisation in rock chips at Sabeto

==> picture [130 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

12

SABETO PROJECT

==> picture [398 x 324] intentionally omitted <==

Zoned alteration and multiple intrusive phases identified in the mapping indicate the potential for a deep mineralised porphyry system

■ Copper mineralisation observed in outcrop provide broad target for follow up trenching/drilling

■ Trenching currently being utilised to provide more effecting drill targeting

==> picture [130 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

13

CAKAUDROVE PROJECT

==> picture [379 x 284] intentionally omitted <==

■ A circular resistive ZTEM anomaly identified

■ Anomaly is coincident with a known gold occurrence (Dakuniba Gold Prospect) and ‐ several quartz pyrite vein outcrops

■ Historic work identified a zone of NW-trending quartz veining carrying gold, silver, and base metals

  • Initial field visits confirmed findings from previous work completed, and identified further veining and mineralisation not previously noted

==> picture [130 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

14

ZTEM DATA INTERPRETATION

==> picture [319 x 304] intentionally omitted <==

■ Nabila conductive anomaly possibly conductive phyllic zone of porphyry system (>10% pyrite)

■ Vuda &Sabeto resistive anomalies (with conductive shell) are possibly the core of a porphyry system with pyrite alteration forming the conductive shell.

■ Data from Cakaudrove currently undergoing 3D inversion

==> picture [130 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

15

RAKI RAKI PROJECT

==> picture [365 x 261] intentionally omitted <==

■ Previous work on some prospects was seen to have been insufficient and hasn’t tested prospects effectively

■ Observations from recent field work indicated that the mineralised system may be deeper than previously thought

■ Future work planned includes:

  • Metal zonation studies on previously sampled core from various prospects might provide a indication of the level of the current mineralisation in the system

  • Further trenching at one prospect is aimed at identifying strike extension and dip indications of an untested vein system

16

GPR – EXPLORATION DIARY 2012

■ Geopacific is committed to exploring for and identifying mineralising systems within the project areas using modern exploration techniques

■ Geopacific has many exploration programmes planned for 2012:

  • Initial drill testing of Nabila, Sabeto, and Vuda ZTEM anomalies

  • Drill testing of theoretical model at Raki Raki (deeper target than previously tested)

  • Surface geochemical surveys over most project areas including:

    • Sabeto (Current)

    • Raki Raki, Cakaudrove, & Nabila (Planned)

  • Ongoing geophysical data processing & interpretations at all projects

  • Ongoing geochemical and drilling data processing and interpretations at all projects

  • It is anticipated that all this field and office-based work will result in further drilling and a better understanding of the geology of the projects
