White Lion Emerges as Pacgold’s Crown Jewel: Geophysical Breakthrough Signals Major Gold Potential

Pacgold Limited (ASX: PGO) has elevated its exploration momentum with a major breakthrough at the White Lion Prospect, part of the broader Alice River Gold Project in North Queensland. Through a newly completed Induced Polarisation (IP) survey, the company has defined a large-scale, high-intensity chargeability anomaly directly overlapping a previously mapped bullseye magnetic feature.

This discovery significantly upgrades the exploration profile of White Lion, aligning it with large-scale gold systems such as Mt Leyshon in Queensland and Fort Knox in Alaska. The 1.0km x 1.5km anomaly suggests the presence of sulphide-rich breccia zones typically associated with intrusion-related gold systems (IRGS)—a high-value target class known for their scale and longevity.

Located just 500 metres south of the Alice River Fault Zone (ARFZ), White Lion benefits from an ideal geological setting. Surface mapping has revealed quartz breccias extending over 250 metres, and historical shallow drilling has confirmed anomalous gold values. However, the core of the magnetic and chargeability anomaly remains untouched by modern drilling—leaving significant upside for first-pass results.

Advanced survey interpretation revealed a donut-shaped magnetic inversion at 200 metres depth, paired with coincident resistivity lows. These geophysical features suggest pyrite-sericite alteration halos and possible sulphide accumulation—key indicators of buried mineralised systems.

Pacgold’s next steps are sharply focused: finalising heritage approvals, completing pole-dipole IP surveys to refine drill depths, and launching a drill campaign by Q4 2025. The broader regional IP survey is also underway, aiming to establish continuity between White Lion and nearby prospects such as Victoria, Central, and Posie.

Investor sentiment is already shifting. On the day of the discovery announcement, Pacgold saw a dramatic rise in trading volume—over 470,000 shares, up from just 8,000 a week earlier—signalling growing market enthusiasm.

With high-impact drilling on the horizon, White Lion could mark a turning point for Pacgold, unlocking significant gold potential in one of Australia’s most fertile mineral belts.
