South Pacific Metals Corp has appointed Dean Williamson as Exploration Manager in Papua New Guinea to lead drilling programs at the Anga and Osena Projects in the Kainantu Gold District. Williamson brings over 30 years of experience, including five years at K92 Mining where he led significant gold-copper discoveries. Recent surface sampling at the Irinke Prospect has defined a 2km-wide mineralized corridor, with rock chip samples yielding up to 3.28 g/t Au and 1,292ppm Cu. A new anomaly was discovered at Binano, less than 1,500 metres from K92's Plant Site. The company's projects share a 45km mineralized corridor with K92's operations, positioning them for potential near-term discoveries.

South Pacific Metals Corp (SPMEF) has identified two significant mineralized districts at its May River Project. The Ufuo Polymetallic Massive Sulfide District features five massive sulfide bodies, with historical drilling results showing high-grade copper and gold mineralization, including 19m @11.47% Cu and 2.17g/t Au. The Skygate Cu-Au Trend, a 7km-long mineralized zone, lies 15km west of the Frieda River deposit and shows historical drilling results of 109m at 1.53 g/t Au from surface. The company is evaluating non-dilutive financing options to advance exploration efforts across its 1,700 km² tenement package.

South Pacific Metals Corp. (SPMEF) acknowledges K92 Mining's recent drilling success at Arakompa, which is located just 3 km from SPMC's Anga Gold-Copper Project boundary. SPMC recently completed its Irinke Prospect exploration program at Anga, positioned 4 km northeast along strike of the Arakompa lode-gold vein system. The program revealed a broad shear zone with geological similarities to Arakompa. The Anga Project, spanning 461 km², is situated in the Kainantu Gold District, adjacent to K92's Kainantu Gold Mine Project. Surface sample assays are pending, and potential drill targets are being evaluated, including over 15 porphyry targets from historical Barrick Gold work.

South Pacific Metals Corp (SPMEF) has expanded its Osena Gold-Copper Project in Papua New Guinea by acquiring Exploration Licence Application 2850, adding 112 km² of prospective land immediately south of K92 Mining's operations. This expansion increases the total Osena Project land package to 738 km². The new area may contain extensions of NW-SE trending copper-gold mineralized trends. The company has compiled over two decades of historical geological data and is preparing to finalize first-phase drilling plans.
