GREAT PACIFIC GOLD ANNOUNCES DEPARTURE OF VP CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT

Mick Carew, vice-president of corporate development, has resigned from Great Pacific Gold Corp. effective immediately following his election to the board of directors of K92 Mining Inc. at its annual general meeting earlier today.

"We would like to congratulate Mick on his appointment to the board of K92 and thank him for all his hard work at Great Pacific Gold. Mick was instrumental in completing numerous deals to divest of our Australian assets last year and we wish him the best in his future endeavours," stated Greg McCunn, chief executive officer.

As the company continues to focus on its flagship Wild Dog project, located on the island of New Britain, Papua New Guinea, it does not intend to name a new vice-president, corporate development.

About Great Pacific Gold Corp.

Great Pacific Gold's vision is to become the leading gold-copper development company in Papua New Guinea. The company has a portfolio of exploration-stage projects in Papua New Guinea as follows:

• Wild Dog project: The company's flagship project is located in the East New Britain province of Papua New Guinea. The project consists of a large-scale epithermal target, the Wild Dog structural corridor, stretching 15 kilometres in strike length and potentially over 1,000 metres 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 metres in diameter and over 2,000 metres deep. Drilling of the epithermal structure on the Sinivit target has yielded high-grade results, including WDG-08, which intercepted 8.4 metres at 50 g/t AuEq from 154 metres. The current drilling program will extend into 2026, with a second drill rig expecting to be operational in early February, 2026.
• Kesar project: Located in the Eastern Highlands province of Papua New Guinea and contiguous with the mine tenements of K92 Mining Inc., 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 has developed a follow-up phase 2 program for 2026.
• Arau project: Also located in the Eastern Highlands province of Papua New Guinea, the Arau project is south of and contiguous to the mine tenements of K92. Arau contains the highly prospective Mount Victor exploration target with potential for a high-sulphidation epithermal gold-base metal deposit. A phase 1 reverse circulation drilling program was completed at Mount 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 Papua New Guinea.
