The Kesar exploration licence, EL2711, is located in the Eastern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea with the property boundary approximately 6 km west of K92’s Kainantu Mine Plant Site. The Property consists of 130 sq km (38 sub-blocks) which cover a Late Miocene to Pliocene hosted gold vein and porphyry district predominantly within Miocene tonalite. The potential for discovery of structurally controlled gold deposits within the project area is prompted by the nearby occurrence of the Kainantu gold mine and the Arakompa gold vein system. The nearby Blue Lake porphyry copper/gold deposit lies on an adjacent exploration licence and provides evidence for potential porphyry copper/gold mineralization on EL2711. The area is characterized by a complex geology that includes metamorphic rocks, volcanic units, and Cenozoic sediments. Gold and base metal mineralization occurs in veins and breccia zones hosted by fault/shear structures within the intrusives as well as the meta-sediments. The major structures appear to be predominantly northwest trending (arc-parallel) and northeast trending (arc-normal).
Projects
["## Kesar Project\n\n### PNG\n\nSituated along strike from the Kora Deposit, the Kesar Project is a greenfield exploration opportunity featuring artisanal workings and multiple high-grade vein structures identified through mapping and soil sampling. Ongoing drilling in 2025 targets northwest-southeast trending mineralized shear zones, with exploration underway in the East Vein Zone. This project has the potential to deliver high-grade gold discoveries in one of PNG’s most promising regions.\n\n[Learn More](https://gpacgold.com/project/kesar-project/)\n\n## **Wild Dog**\n\n### PNG\n\nThe Wild Dog Project, located in East New Britain province, is a district-scale land package which spans over 1,400 km² and features proven gold mineralization along an 11 km strike length. Historical drilling has delivered bonanza-grade results, including 11.3m @ 16.2 g/t AuEq. The project includes high-grade epithermal gold-copper systems with intense alteration and brecciation. With road access re-established and a comprehensive exploration program planned, including diamond drilling in Q2 2025, Wild Dog is a cornerstone asset in PNG.\n\n[Learn More](https://gpacgold.com/project/wild-dog/)\n\n# Wild Dog Project\n\nThe Wild Dog Project area is located along PNG’s circum-Pacific “Rim of Fire” arc, an environment known for world-class porphyry Cu-Au and epithermal gold deposits. Located on the island of New Britain in the East New Britain province, Wild Dog is a district-scale land package which spans over 1,400km² and features the large scale, high-grade low-sulphidation and high-sulphidation epithermal gold-copper Wild Dog structure, and an adjacent high-priority copper-gold porphyry target called Magiabe.\n\n## High Grade\n\nA focused diamond drill program was initiated in May 2025 along a 1.5km section of the Wild Dog structure at the Sinivit Target. The 2025 program was expanded in August and is expected to consist of 28 holes for over 5,000 metres of diamond drilling.\n\nThe mineralization remains open along strike and at depth with the deeper sulphide mineralization below the oxide zone largely unexplored.\n\n## Large Scale\n\nA MobileMT airborne geophysical survey completed in April 2025 over 187km2 defined a 1,000m deep structure of high-conductivity that runs over 15km, highlighting the main epithermal gold-copper target area.\n\n## Magiabe Porphyry Target\n\nAt Magiabe, field mapping has identified a multiphase quartz diorite–monzonite porphyry intrusion exposed in the Magiabe Creek valley. This intrusion exhibits strong potassic alteration (e.g. secondary K-feldspar, magnetite) and is associated with an intensely phyllic-altered pebble breccia (approximately 250m in diameter) at surface. Importantly, the Magiabe porphyry intrusive is interpreted to be coeval with the epithermal mineralization in the adjacent Nengmutka/Wild Dog vein system, suggesting a genetic link.\n\nHistoric explorers recognized Magiabe as a probable porphyry centre: the presence of mapped intrusives, breccia, porphyry-style alteration, a copper soil anomaly, and coincident geophysical signatures (magnetic high and IP chargeability) led to the interpretation that Magiabe could be the source of the Wild Dog epithermal veins. Supporting this, the Wild Dog veins themselves contain anomalous molybdenum and tellurium (elements often associated with porphyry systems) and a gold–copper association, which reinforced the Magiabe porphyry model in earlier studies. Despite these encouraging signs, the Magiabe porphyry target remained untested by drilling.\n\nThe processed MobileMT data have illuminated a compelling porphyry signature at Magiabe. In particular, a large resistivity and magnetic anomaly consistent with a potassic-altered intrusive body is centred at Magiabe. This feature, interpreted as the potassic core of a porphyry system, measures roughly 1,000 metres in diameter and extends to at least 2,000 metres depth in the 3D inversion models. Such scale is comparable to major porphyry deposits; for example, the nearby Wafi-Golpu system’s porphyry centre (Golpu) is on the order of 1–2 km across and over 1 km vertical extent. The MobileMT shows the Magiabe anomaly adjacent to and beneath the Sinivit epithermal zone, closely resembling the classic geometry of an epithermal deposit above or alongside a porphyry intrusion. The Magiabe target appears as a deep, robust conductivity/resistivity anomaly and gives GPAC a high-priority porphyry drill target.\n\nEarlier geophysical work by previous operators had also hinted at Magiabe’s potential. A 3D IP (Induced Polarization) survey in 2010 identified a circular chargeability anomaly ~200m in diameter at Magiabe, coincident with a zone of advanced argillic clay alteration at surface. This IP anomaly broadened with depth and was detectable down to ~300m (the limit of that survey). At surface, the Magiabe area showed a cap of pyrophyllite-dickite-kaolinite alteration (a lithocap) with fine crystalline gold panned in streams and outcrops of dacitic breccia nearby. The IP and mapping data together led geologists at the time to propose a diatreme-related Cu-Au porphyry target at Magiabe, directly drawing parallels to the lithocap above the Wafi porphyry system. Although at least one 300m exploration hole was recommended to test this chargeability high, the drilling was never completed.\n\nThe MobileMT survey of 2025 has essentially “unmasked” the deeper parts of this anomaly, revealing the full vertical extent and lateral size of the Magiabe system well beyond the 2010 IP limits. The new data confirms that Magiabe is a sizeable geophysical target consistent with a porphyry intrusive centre, greatly strengthening the exploration rationale.\n\nField work by historic operators provided geochemical “ground truth” that supports geophysical interpretation of Magiabe as a porphyry Cu-Au system."]
