Biography

Janine Goh represents South Pacific Metals Corp. (TSX-V: SPMC | OTCQB: SPMEF) in front of resource investors, presenting the company's Papua New Guinea gold-copper portfolio at events such as the September 2026 Metals Investor Forum in Vancouver. The story she carries is concrete: four projects covering more than 3,100 square kilometres across three PNG districts, anchored by the young Osena discovery beside K92 Mining's Kainantu mine and the Kili Teke copper-gold project, which hosts a NI 43-101 inferred resource (a formally compliant Canadian-standard estimate of mineralization that could be economically mined) of roughly 4.2 million ounces gold-equivalent, about 40 kilometres from Barrick's Porgera mine.

Her public record is recent and tied to one company. She delivered an eleven-minute case for South Pacific Metals at the Metals Investor Forum on September 18-19, 2026, and is the named author of the corporate presentation the company issued on September 23, 2026, the same week it closed a C$20.0 million marketed financing led by BMO Capital Markets. The results she communicates are the company's: drilling at the Megabe target near Ontenu returned 12 metres at 3.1 g/t gold (grams per tonne) including 1 metre at 18.1 g/t, with a peak assay of 38.1 g/t and the structure now traced over more than 300 metres of strike length; sampling outside the Kili Teke resource returned up to 12.8% copper from outcrop. She is not listed among the company's directors or named officers, and no published title is available, a limit readers should weigh.

Her approach favors verifiable detail over narrative. At the forum she broke the Megabe story into three answerable questions (is there a structure, can it carry high grade, does it continue) and answered each with hole numbers and assays. She stresses validating historical data before spending on new drilling, sequencing targets by field evidence, and leaving portfolio depth alone until it is drill-ready: Anga, about four kilometres along strike from K92's Arakompa vein, and May River, near the Frieda River copper-gold deposit, "are not competing for the spotlight today," as her slide puts it. She also flags community engagement as a core part of operating in PNG.

Following Goh gives investors the company's own framing of what comes next: results from two rigs at Osena's Ontenu NE, step-out and resource-expansion drilling at Kili Teke, and deployment of the September 2026 raise. Her commentary is company advocacy rather than independent analysis, so read it alongside South Pacific Metals' news releases. But she is the person assembling and presenting that news flow, which makes her a useful window into one of PNG's more active junior exploration stories.

  • Top takeaway Her thesis is adjacency: she argues that sitting next to the K-9-2 mine is 'a huge advantage' because the neighbour's deposits give 'a very useful geological reference' for what her own company is looking for on its side of the boundary.
  • She frames the story as four projects on one regional trend in Papua New Guinea, of which two matter now — Osina, where she says they are 'actively Drilling an emerging high-grade epithermal gold system', and Kiliteke, which 'Hosts our mineral resource' and where she is advancing 'New targets toward drilling'.
  • On Osina she argues the work has moved faster than the claim: 'in roughly 10 weeks' the company went from proving a structure to hitting high grade in multiple zones to mapping more than 300 meters of it, and she reads what has been found as 'the upper part of a much larger Gold system' with the high-grade zones still open below.
  • On Kiliteke she argues the value sits outside the existing resource — historical work 'Excluded from that resource calculation' points to high-grade material at the porphyry margins — and that the 'first small batch' of assays already identified a 'massive sulfide body' 'Extending more than 200 meters from the west' with 'up to 12% copper' at outcrop, work she says will define the company's first SPMC drill program there.
  • Her closing argument is execution and funding rather than geology: she says 'social license really is the license to operate' in Papua New Guinea, points to a tight register (roughly 70 million shares outstanding, 45% held by management and core insiders, 14 institutions), and cites a 'BMO-led marketed financing' 'For up to 15 million' that she expected to close the following week.

Two Papua New Guinea copper-gold projects anchor the pitch: Osina, beside K92's K-9-2 mine, and Kiliteke's 4.2 Moz gold-equivalent inferred resource. Management's Megaby drilling: 300+ m of strike open in all directions, a 38.7 g/t peak assay, and high-grade zones still open down plunge. Kiliteke's first assay batch found a massive sulfide body extending over 200 m, with outcrop samples to 12% copper; 600 kg await assays. An unfiltered stage pitch: no analyst pushback, a mid-presentation 'Standard disclosure' line, and every figure is management's own claim. Funding is staged: roughly 70 million shares, 45% with insiders, and a BMO-led marketed financing of up to 15 million.
