[{"type":"text","content":"GPAC Expands Wild Dog Drill Program to 5,000m and Initiates LiDAR SurveyVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 25, 2025) - Great Pacific Gold Corp. (TSXV: GPAC) (OTCQX: FSXLF) (FSE: V3H) (\"Great Pacific Gold,\" \"GPAC,\" or the \"Company\") has expanded its Phase 1 diamond drill program at the Wild Dog Project (\"Wild Dog\" or the \"Project\"), located on the island of New Britain, East New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea (\"PNG\"), from 2,500 metres to 5,000 metres.The Phase 1 program commenced in May 2025 and is designed to test high-priority targets over a 1.5 km strike length within the Wild Dog epithermal vein structural corridor. The high-grade nature of the system has already been confirmed by multiple strong intercepts. In addition, recent processing of MobileMT geophysical data has highlighted the exceptional scale of the epithermal system and the potential for a major porphyry copper-gold system adjacent to the veins - a setting analogous to the Wafi-Golpu deposit in PNG (mineralization at Wafi-Golpu is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at Wild Dog).The expanded program now totals 28 diamond drill holes and is expected to continue into early 2026. Drilling to date has only tested a small portion of the mineralized corridor, which remains open to the north, south, and at depth.Key Highlights:Program Expanded: Phase 1 drilling at Sinivit Target increased from 2,500m to 5,000m following multiple high-grade hits and new geophysical targets.High-Grade Intercepts Across Multiple Holes (previously announced, Table 2):Near Surface:WDG-02: 7.0m @ 11.2 g/t AuEq from 65mWDG-04: 6.0m @ 8.6 g/t AuEq from 62mWDG-06: 3.5m @ 13.1 g/t AuEq from 12mDeeper Mineralization:WDG-07: 10.0m @ 4.0 g/t AuEq from 153mStep-Out to Test Untested Ground: Final Sinivit hole planned as a large step-out to the north towards Kavasuki to test a gap with no historical drilling but strong geophysical continuity.Next Catalyst: Assay results pending for WDG-08 and WDG-09, expected September 2025.\"The success of the Phase 1 diamond drilling at the Sinivit Target to-date has led us to expand our program and we expect to continue drilling at Sinivit into early 2026,\" stated Greg McCunn, CEO. \"The final hole in the Sinivit program is designed as a major step out to the North towards Kavasuki to test a gap area where ther...
