- New, high-resolution IP geophysics survey highlights compelling new targets along a >7km long shear zone encompassing the historical open pit mine
- Two drill rigs (diamond and RC) currently drilling on the Central and Southern Targets on both MLs and EPM areas with results expected in November
Corporate
- Pacgold commenced trading on the ASX on 8th July with the code "PGO"
- Fully subscribed Initial Public Offer (IPO) raised $6 million, well supported by institutional, sophisticated, and retail investors
Gold exploration company, Pacgold Limited ("PGO", "Pacgold" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the Company's Quarterly Activities Report for the three-month period ending 30th September 2021.
Pacgold commenced trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 8th July, following completion of a fully subscribed IPO which raised $6 million through the issue of 24,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.25 per share.
Pacgold is primarily focused on progressing its key asset, the Alice River Gold Project (the "Project") in North Queensland. The Project comprises a portfolio of eight mining leases and five exploration permits in a highly prospective gold terrain that has been previously underexplored. Figure 1. Location of Alice River Gold Project

Pacgold has defined compelling high-grade gold targets, along a 30km corridor which is centred on a historical producing goldfield.
Pacgold's initial focus will be on three priority targets covering 7km of the gold bearing shear zone:
- o Central Target: Targets along strike from open pit mine and down-plunge extensions to high-grade gold mineralisation - Drilling in progress.
- o Southern Target: Broad untested gold surface geochemical anomalies 1.8km x 500m in area Drilling in progress.
- o Northern Target: 2.5km-long extension to the Alice River Shear Zone under shallow cover, confirmed with new IP geophysics.

Geological Mapping and Rock Sampling
Detailed geological mapping and rock geochemical sampling was completed over the Central and Southern Targets defining extensive zones of quartz vein/breccia over several metres width. Two main vein sets have been defined, trending N-S and NW-SE along an exposed strike length of 3.8km.

Rock chip sampling confirmed both vein sets are gold mineralised and the system remains open to the north, north-west and south, where the veins are interpreted to continue along strike, concealed beneath shallow cover. The most extensive zone of veining mapped in outcrop is within and adjacent to the historical, high-grade, AQ open pit. Sampling returned assay results up to 28.2g/t Au and 2.7g/t Ag from NW-SE trending veins immediately west of the historical AQ open pit on the Central Target. Results up to 460g/t Au and 82g/t Ag (with low As 60ppm and Sb 19ppm) were returned from a 0.5m channel sample from veining exposed on the Southern Target and represent examples of bonanza style quartz veining in an area with very limited historical shallow drilling.
Induced Polarisation Geophysical Survey
Pacgold completed a large high-resolution IP geophysical survey (pole-dipole, 25m spaced electrodes, total of 25.5 line km of survey) over the Alice River shear zone, which encompasses the Northern, Central and Southern Targets. Results from the survey define a resistivity 'low' corridor which defines the prospective Alice River shear zone over 7km and connecting the three main gold-mineralised target areas.
3D inversion modelling of the detailed IP survey data has been completed over 3.8km of strike of the Alice River shear zone encompassing the Central and Southern Targets. Figure 3 details the 3D resistivity data modelling and Figure 4 shows an oblique view of the 2D resistivity data modelled sections. Interpretation of the IP geophysical modelling highlights an exceptionally strong correlation between pronounced linear resistivity lows and the Alice River shear zone, confirming the IP data can be confidently used as a predictive targeting tool.

Two detailed pole-dipole IP survey lines were completed over the Northern Target on regional spaced lines approximately 1.1km apart, with data from these lines clearly defining the northern extent (2.2km) of the Alice River shear zone. This section of the regional shear has been tested previously by limited shallow scout drilling over approximately 200m of strike, returning a maximum result of 6m @ 4.5g/t Au from 22m (ARAT282). Refer to Figure 4 showing an oblique view of the 2D resistivity data modelled sections.

Drilling Programme
Diamond drilling commenced on the Project during the Quarter, with a total of 4 diamond holes completed for 684m within the Central Target (ML's) to the end of September. A second drilling rig (RC) arrived at site in October and has commenced on the Central and Southern Targets (EPM's and ML's) with both rigs to continue until December, with approximately 6,500m of drilling (1,500m diamond and 5,000m RC) planned.

Figure 5: Diamond and RC drilling on Central Target.
The first diamond hole (ARDH001) was completed beneath the historical open pit and represents the first diamond drill hole on the project for 25 years. The drillhole intersected a 25m downhole wide zone of intense sulphidic hydrothermal breccia and quartz veining with visible gold mineralisation associated with late-stage crystalline quartz veins. A review of the drill core with specialist technical consultants highlights similarities with the Intrusion Related Gold System (IRGS) model for the Donlin Creek Gold system in Alaska (39Moz). Recognition of these similarities supports the potential for high-grade gold beneath the current level of exposure of the Alice River Gold Project. Results for the drilling completed to date are pending and will be reported when available.

Results to Date
Results from the 3D modelling of the IP geophysics survey and the geological mapping strongly support the interpretation of a structural link between the Northern, Central and Southern Targets, defining a potential gold system >7km length and open along strike and at depth. The majority of the gold system is concealed beneath shallow cover sediments and remains undrilled in most areas away from exposed vein outcrops.
A geological review of the drilling supports an IRGS model similar to the Donlin Creek gold deposit,supporting potential for high-grade gold mineralisation beneath the current level of exposure at the Alice River Gold Project. Assay results from the drilling completed to date are pending.
Next Steps
RC and diamond drilling is planned to continue at the Project as part of a 6,500m programme at the Central and Southern Targets.
Corporate
Trading Commenced on ASX
Pacgold commenced trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in July following the completion of a fully subscribed IPO which raised $6 million through the issue of 24,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.25 per share.
Taylor Collison was the lead manager for the IPO.
Approved by the Board of Pacgold Limited.
