Over the last few months, Great Pacific Gold released several operational and corporate updates. On Oct 31, 2025, it provided a Kesar Project update with drilling and spending details. Subsequent Wild Dog drill results on Nov 10 and later highlighted high-grade AuEq intercepts and expanding programs. On Nov 27, 2025, shareholders approved the Walhalla 1:1 spinout, followed by court approval details on Dec 8. A further Wild Dog drilling update came on Dec 10. The current spinout approval news fits into this sequence of growth-focused developments.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved +8.4% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with prior responses to Great Pacific Gold’s Walhalla spinout news and high-grade drilling updates, where several recent announcements saw single-day gains of up to 9.19%. The shareholder-approved 1:1 Walhalla share distribution adds a clear structural catalyst. However, investors have also seen at least one divergence on a project update, so relying solely on news headlines without tracking execution and future project milestones could carry reversal risk.

About Great Pacific Gold
Great Pacific Gold's vision is to become the leading gold-copper development company in Papua New Guinea ("PNG"). The Company has a portfolio of exploration-stage projects in PNG, as follows:
Wild Dog Project: the Company's flagship project is located in the East New Britain province of PNG. The project consists of a large-scale epithermal target, the Wild Dog structural corridor, stretching 15 km in strike length and potentially over 1,000 meters deep based on a recent MobileMT geophysics survey. The survey also highlighted the Magiabe porphyry target, adjacent to the epithermal target and potentially 1,000 meters in diameter and over 2,000 meters deep. Drilling of the epithermal structure on the Sinivit target has yielded high-grade results, including WDG-08 which intercepted 8.4 meters at 50 g/t AuEq from 154 meters. The current drilling program will extend into 2026 with second drill rig expecting to be operational in February 2026.
Kesar Project: located in the Eastern Highlands province of PNG and contiguous with the mine tenements of K92 Mining Inc. ("K92"), the Kesar Project is a greenfield exploration project with several high-priority targets in close proximity to the property boundary with K92. Multiple epithermal veins at Kesar are on strike and have the same orientation as key K92 deposits, such as Kora. Exploration work to date by the Company at the Kesar Project has shown that these veins have high grades of gold present in outcrop and very elevated gold in soil grades, coincident with aeromagnetic highs. The Company conducted a diamond drill program on key target areas at the Kesar Project from November 2024 to May 2025 and have developed a follow-up Phase 2 program for 2026.
Arau Project: also located in the Eastern Highlands province of PNG, the Arau Project is south of and contiguous to the mine tenements of K92. Arau contains the highly prospective Mt. Victor exploration target with potential for a high sulfidation epithermal gold-base metal deposit. A Phase 1 Reverse Circulation drilling program was completed at Mt. Victor in August 2024, with encouraging results. The Arau Project includes the Elandora licence, which also contains various epithermal and copper-gold porphyry targets.
The Company also holds the Tinga Valley Project in PNG.
