Pacific Resources Limited has submitted 35 core samples from diamond drill holes DGWDDH005 and DGWDDH006 for laboratory analysis at the Dogwood copper-gold porphyry prospect in East Gippsland, Victoria.

The submission comprises 30 primary half-core intervals and five quality control standards and blanks. The core comes from a completed 14-hole, 2,004.2-metre diamond program where only the first four holes have been assayed to date.

Holes 5 and 6 sit within the high copper-to-gold ratio core of the Dogwood system, adjacent to Hole 4. That hole previously ended in copper mineralisation, returning 0.6 metres at 0.24% copper from 322.4 metres. The polymetallic mineralisation footprint extends over two kilometres across the target area.

“We are moving forward to complete the assays of all remaining holes previously cored by FAU. With a further 35 samples from Holes 5 & 6 have now being sent for testing, this marks a meaningful step forward in our exploration plans for the Project, which is designed to unlock the full potential of this exciting copper/gold asset in Victoria's Eastern Goldfields.”

— Andrew Fogg, Chief Executive Officer

Assay results from holes DGWDDH005 and DGWDDH006 are expected during the third quarter of calendar year 2026. Pacific Resources plans to progressively assay the remaining drill core from the 14-hole program following this submission.
