Omega Pacific Resources has commenced its 2026 exploration program at the Williams Property in British Columbia's Toodoggone District, following the mobilization of field crews on August 13, 2026.

The field program will incorporate soil sampling, rock sampling, geological mapping, drone magnetic surveying, and potential induced-polarization geophysical surveys at the West GIC Gold Target. Exploration will also continue advancing the copper-molybdenum East target, known as the ROI prospect, to evaluate porphyry potential.

Once fieldwork is underway and additional drill pads are prepared, Omega Pacific will launch a Phase 1 drill program spanning 1,500 to 2,000 metres on the gold mineralization footprint at West GIC. The work aims to expand mineralization on an immediate east-west target area bordered by known mineralization 600 metres east of the WM24-01 drill collar, where historical hole WM22-03 intersected 8 metres grading 4.64 g/t gold. Upslope from that hole, historical mechanical trenching returned up to 5 g/t gold, while further west the program will test unverified historical soil samples.

The 2026 campaign builds on results from the 2024 drill program, which encountered high-grade intersections including 6.22 g/t gold over 18.98 metres at West GIC. The upcoming program is designed to delineate and expand gold mineralization along strike and up-dip from deeper ~500-metre drill holes completed in 2024.

Gold traded at US$4,378.30 per ounce, reflecting a 7.31% gain over the 30-day period leading up to August 13, 2026.

“GIC hosts multi-million ounce gold potential with additional priority targets to the east at the ROI Prospect. While we have several targets to develop, we are focused on this next and important step at West GIC and anticipate results will attract positive attention.”
