Omega Pacific Commences Drill Program at Williams Property

Omega Pacific Resources Ltd has commenced a new drilling program at the Williams Property in British Columbia's Toodoggone District. The company aims to extend the known gold mineralization and test extensions of impressive gold deposits discovered in previous exploration efforts.

The 2026 drill program, a multi-phase 5,000-meter initiative, will initially focus on 1,000 to 2,000 meters. The primary objective is to confirm the potential for the West GIC gold target to host a multimillion-ounce gold deposit. Jason Leikam, CEO of Omega Pacific, stated, "Our 2026 drill program at the West GIC target is designed to achieve two key objectives. Firstly, to deliver results similar to our 2024 program. Secondly, to confirm the potential for West GIC to host a multimillion-ounce gold deposit."

The program will include drone LiDAR and magnetic surveys at the GIC West and ROI targets. The initial drilling will test the up-dip, down-dip, and along-strike extensions of the mineralized zone at GIC West, where gold mineralization was encountered in all four holes of the company's 2024 drill program. Key highlights from that program include WM24-01, which returned 1.69 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold over 104 meters, including 6.22 g/t over 18.98 meters, and WM22-02 ext., which returned 2.16 g/t of gold over 96.9 meters.

The 2026 drill plan also includes testing shallower, up-dip extensions to connect drilled gold mineralization to the Park Gossan and gold-rich surface samples. Along-strike to the east, additional drill holes will test the lateral continuity of the gold mineralization toward drill hole WM22-03, which intersected 4.64 g/t of gold over 8 meters, 600 meters east of the 2024 drilling.

With drill pads at West GIC completed, drilling commenced on September 14, 2026. The initial phase of the drill program is anticipated to be completed by mid-October. Assay results will be released as they are received and interpreted.
