OMEGA PACIFIC REPORTS STRONG GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND EXPANSION POTENTIAL AT GIC GOLD PROSPECT
Omega Pacific Resources Inc. has released highly encouraging results from a comprehensive exploratory data analysis (EDA) completed at the GIC prospect on the company's wholly owned Williams property. The study significantly advances the company's understanding of mineralization controls and highlights multiple opportunities to expand gold mineralization through targeted drilling. The data strongly support the presence of a robust, structurally controlled gold system with significant discovery and expansion potential.
"We are seeing at GIC the transition from isolated drill success to a coherent discovery story," said Jason Leikam, chief executive officer of Omega Pacific Resources. "The data now clearly define an extensive gold system with an understanding of its controls and, most importantly, where it's obvious extensions. This kind of geological clarity is exactly what we look for at the discovery stage and we are very confident our next drill program will deliver results similar to the robust intercepts we reported in 2024." Mr. Leikam added additional regional context: "GIC sits stratigraphically in the Takla (Stuhini) formation, directly adjacent to the Red Line unconformity near contact with the Toodoggone formation (Hazelton). The presence of this key marker for large deposits across Northern British Colombia indicates we in the right setting to locate significant gold and copper gold systems. The initial indications we see at GIC and directly east toward the newly identified ROI copper-gold prospect further enhance our confidence the Williams property host both multimillion-ounce gold and adjacent porphyry potential."
Mr. Leikam continued: "With the obvious geological setting and verification of recent drill results, Omega Pacific is on the right trajectory to deliver in similar fashion to other notable successes in the Toodoggone. The region is continuing to deliver on exploration results. Our neighbours to the south, including TDG Gold and Amarc Resources, showcase the rich mineral endowment of this region that is continuing to attract key industry participants with long-term commitments to resource development. Key initial results from these other discoveries are comparable with Omega Pacific's 2024 results. The take-away is that, with the verified potential that GIC offers and the opportunity for new discoveries at ROI, the Williams property offers a lot of value, and we expect to unlock that value in the upcoming 2026 exploration program."
The EDA integrated historical and recent drill data, multielement geochemistry, structural measurements, soil geochemistry, and geophysics to develop a preliminary 3-D geological model. This model has generated high-confidence exploration targets and materially reduced geological risk.
Highlights:
- Gold mineralization shows strong continuity and is hosted within a well-defined mafic volcanic stratigraphic horizon intersected in 2022 and 2024 drilling across a strike length over 750 metres;
- Clear geochemical and alteration vectors have been identified;
- Strong correlation between pyrite-rich intervals and gold mineralization, enabling simple visual vectors and use of downhole geophysical methods;
- Advanced geochemical clustering techniques successfully distinguish mineralized mafic rocks from background lithologies that can be applied using portable XRF (X-ray fluorescence) data to support real-time drilling decisions;
- Structural analysis confirms faulting and bedding orientation as key controls on mineralization, with mineralized horizons remaining open along strike, potentially downdip and updip;
- Two kilometres east of GIC, compelling soil geochemical anomalies, named the ROI prospect, highlight copper-molybdenum and gold-bismuth-tellurium signatures consistent with porphyry-style mineralization, suggesting a second exploration target style within a broader 4.6-kilometre-long prospective area.
A clear path to growth
The EDA results confirm GIC prospect hosts a coherent, structurally controlled gold system with significant upside potential. Mineralization remains open at depth and laterally beyond current 750-metre drilling area.
The integration of historical data, modern geochemistry and 3-D geological modelling has materially reduced geological risk and sharpened drill targeting. The growing geological framework, multiple independent vectors to mineralization and a clear road map for systematic exploration have emerged.
Strong vectoring toward higher grades
The study identified a compelling relationship between gold grades and hydrothermal pyrite development. In recent drilling, logged pyrite abundances greater than 15 per cent are associated with an estimated greater-than-80-per-cent probability of gold grades exceeding 0.2 gram per tonne gold. Geochemical evidence suggests gold is hosted within hydrothermal pyrite alongside bismuth and tellurium, providing a powerful vector toward higher-grade zones. Analyzed drill core also indicates the least structurally disrupted rocks returned the highest gold grades, suggesting focused zones of preservation and potential grade enhancement.
Advanced data-driven geochemical clustering further differentiates mineralized mafic rocks from background lithologies with high confidence. These results can be applied directly to pXRF-based (portable X-ray fluorescence) classifiers during drilling enabling real-time identification of mineralized zones to dynamically adapt drill programs and maximize discovery potential and accelerate additional discoveries.
Multiple target styles emerging
In addition to the main GIC zone, soil geochemical surveys at the ROI prospect identified copper-molybdenum and gold-bismuth-tellurium anomalies consistent with porphyry-style mineralization. These results highlight the potential for a second mineralization style within the broader property package, significantly enhancing the overall exploration upside.
Next phase of exploration
Omega Pacific is now positioned to aggressively advance the project through targeted drilling designed to test extensions of known mineralization and simultaneously evaluate new high-impact targets. Omega Pacific plans to advance the GIC prospect through:
- Follow-up drilling focused on extending mineralization along projected structural and stratigraphic trends;
- A modern, full-suite soil geochemical survey over priority target areas;
- Continued refinement of 3-D geological models to guide efficient capital deployment.
More details on the next exploration steps will be disclosed as budgets are defined.
