K92 – Kainantu Gold Mine
Exploration
South Pacific’s Anga Project is located immediately northeast adjacent to K92’s operating Kainantu Gold Mine, known for its gold, copper and silver outputs. Comprised of 461 km² of exploration licenses in the highly mineralized and prospective Kainantu District, road accessibility significantly enhances logistical advantages for project development. Anga’s project boundary is only 4km from K92’s current Arakompa drill program campaign and hosts potential for the possible extension of K92-style gold lode veins. Irinke Prospect exploration, highlighted by a newly identified sulfide-bearing shear zone exposed over 17 metres x 2 metres, was just completed with 237 soil and rock chip samples assays pending.

South Pacific’s Anga Project is located immediately northeast adjacent to K92’s operating Kainantu Gold Mine, known for its gold, copper and silver outputs. Comprised of 461 km² of exploration licenses in the highly mineralized and prospective Kainantu District, road accessibility significantly enhances logistical advantages for project development. Anga’s project boundary is only ~3 km from K92’s current drilling campaign (see K92 news release June 10, 2024) and hosts potential for the possible extension of K92-style gold lode veins.
Irinke and N2 Prospects lie within key NE and NW trending structural corridors that host K92’s Au-Ag-Cu veins and porphyry occurrences
Prospects exhibit extensive mineralization and alteration footprints up to 4×3 km suggesting significant discovery opportunity
Over two-thirds of the project area remains unexplored, providing a substantial scope for discovery
Results from historical and modern datasets have shown multiple Au and Cu mineralized prospects and targets. Irinke and N2 priority prospects lie within key NE and NW trending structural corridors that host K92’s Au-Ag-Cu veins and porphyry occurrences. Comprehensive soil and rock surface sampling and structural / geological mapping program underway at Irinke Prospect, with additional exploration planned for 2024.
Prospect lies to the NE along strike from possible extension of K92’s lode-gold mineralized Maniape and Arakompa veins. Similar host rocks, coincident Au-Te-Bi soil anomalies and 2.28 g/t Au rock sample. Shows geophysical, surface alteration, and a structural setting that suggest an intact porphyry with a related high-level gold system.
The area is characterized by the presence of Elandora and Akuna intrusives—igneous rocks that are associated with copper and gold mineralization. The project benefits from extensive historical and modern data, which are set to be reinterpreted using modern mineral systems approaches aligned with exploration models relevant to this region.
