新太平洋金属期货在初步经济评估中为卡兰加斯提供了强劲的经济数据
温哥华,卑诗省,2024年10月1日/CNW/ - 新太平洋金属tsx-A:NUAG纽约交所:NEWP(“新太平洋”或“公司”)很高兴地报告其位于玻利维亚奥鲁罗省的卡兰加斯项目(“项目”)的初步经济评估(“PEA”)结果。PEA基于2023年9月5日报告的项目涉矿概念估算(“MRE”),并依照《国家仪器43-101-矿产项目披露标准》(“NI 43-101”)的规定编制。
以下是PEA报告的要点(所有数字均以美元表示):
• | 基准价格为每盎司24.00美元的白银、每磅锌1.25美元,每磅铅0.95美元时,税后净现值(“NPV”)(5%)为50100万美元,内部收益率(“IRR”)为26%; |
• | 净现值为74800万美元,内部收益率分别为34%,银价为每盎司30美元; |
• | 矿山16年寿命("LOM"),不包括2年的前期生产,生产约10600万盎司("Moz")的可付白银,62000万磅("Mlbs")的可付锌和382百万磅的可付铅; |
• | 每年前六年的可支付白银产量约为8.5百万盎司;LOm平均白银产量超过6.5百万盎司每年; |
• | 初始资本成本为32400万美元,税后回收期为3.2年; |
• | 白银全成本持续费用("AISC")为7.60美元/盎司, 扣除副产品; |
• | 该项目将创造大约500个直接永久性工作岗位。 |
"Carangas项目的PEA为我们公司标志着一个重要的里程碑,概述了一个具有强劲经济效益的稳健、利润丰厚的项目。通过将我们的努力集中在丰富的白银材料的一个离地表不远的离散子集上,我们成功定义了一个项目,其税后NPV为5.01亿美元,IRR为26%,初始资本支出为32400万美元。 首席执行官兼总裁安德鲁・威廉姆斯表示。
这项研究不仅突显了这一资产的质量,还凸显了我们团队的出色工作,他们仅在三年前发现了这个青田项目。虽然白银沙滩仍然是我们的旗舰资产,但卡兰加斯已经成为我们公司一个重要的独立项目。卡兰加斯为我们在玻利维亚的优质白银项目组合提供了平衡和规模。我们感谢与当地社区和政府的合作,使我们达到了这一点,并期待继续这一合作伙伴关系,推动项目发展,为所有利益相关者创造价值。"

资本和运营成本
根据Preliminary Economic Assessment(PEA)所述的计划,预计项目将包括一个露天采矿控件,由承包采矿公司进行采矿,并向浮选厂供应矿石,生产白银-铅和锌精矿。PEA预计该项目将具有几个资本和运营成本优势:
• | 矿化材料呈平铺且近地表,预计将形成一个深度约230米的浅坑,LOm平均剥离比低至1.7:1; |
• | 建议由一家在玻利维亚目前有运营的承包商来运营该矿山,从而消除了公司购买采矿装备和维持装备更换所需的资金的需要; |
• | 债券型球磨工作指数(BWi)平均为12,债券磨损指数(人工智能)平均为0.06,因此预计处理矿化材料将需要适度的功耗和低磨料消耗; |
• | 测试工作表明,总白银回收率为87.3%, 带高白银含量的市净率浓缩物预计将超过3,500 g/t,同时没有有害元素来增强冶炼条件; |
• | 预计矿山将接入国家电网,向加工厂和现场其他制造行业提供每千瓦时0.05美元的低成本电力; |
• | 该网站可通过国道和所有季节性当地道路访问; 和 |
• | 该项目可能成为在奥鲁罗提议的政府运营的锌冶炼厂的主要供应商。 |

Mining
It is anticipated that the deposit will be mined using a conventional open pit approach. This entails drilling and blasting, with loading by hydraulic excavators and haulage by off-highway rear dump haul trucks. The PEA pit is designed to be relatively shallow, resulting in comparatively short hauls for both mill feed and waste. A SW-NE cross section showing the resource model grades and pit is illustrated in Figure 1. The mine production schedule is illustrated in Figure 2.
Mill feed tonnes and grade are a subset of the Mineral Resource Estimate, accounting for planned mining dilution and recovery. A mining net smelter return ("NSR") cutoff grade of $28/t was applied and all mined material below this cutoff grade is treated as waste. The mining cutoff grade was chosen to cover all operating costs as well as a built-in economic margin for the Project.
The PEA assumes that mill feed will be hauled to the primary crusher or a run-of-mine ("ROM") stockpile near the crusher. A portion of the oxides and lower grade resources mined in the early years are planned to be stockpiled and processed over the life of mine. Waste rock will be hauled to waste storage facilities. It is anticipated that mine operations will be conducted by a contractor with current operations in Bolivia.
It is anticipated that open-pit mining will commence in the first year of construction. The mine plan anticipates that 19 Mt of waste and oxide material will be mined, with the oxides stockpiled, over a two-year pre-production period. Peak open-pit production is expected to be 15 Mt per year. The planned open pit contains a total of 176 Mt of material (mineralized material and waste) which is scheduled to be mined out by Year 13 of milling operations. 24 Mt of oxide and lower grade material is planned to be processed throughout the mine, with years 14-17 processing stockpiles exclusively.
Figure 1: Pit Design, SW-NE Section View (CNW Group/New Pacific Metals Corp.)
Notes: Net Smelter Prices ("NSP") and metallurgical recoveries are used to define the NSR cutoff grade. NSPs include market price assumptions of $23.0/oz Ag, $0.95/lb Pb, $1.25/lb Zn. Various smelter and refining terms, offsite costs, and a 6% royalty derive NSPs of $20.5/oz Ag, $0.64/lb Pb, and $0.74/lb Zn. Metallurgical recoveries of 90% Ag, 83% Pb, and 58% Zn are applied. The metal prices, smelter terms, and recoveries for the economic analysis are slightly different from the values described here. Checks have been made by the qualified person to ensure that the PEA mine plan would not be materially altered by revising these inputs to the final PEA values. |
Figure 2: Mine Production Schedule Summary (CNW Group/New Pacific Metals Corp.)
Mineral Processing
The Project is designed to process 4.0 Mt of mineralized material per year. The overall production schedule is illustrated in Figure
3. The processing facility will use conventional comminution circuits followed by selective sequential flotation to produce a lead/silver
concentrate and a zinc/silver concentrate. This is planned to include primary crushing, followed by a SAG-Ball milling circuit ("SABC")
and sequential sulfide flotation to separate silver/lead and zinc while rejecting pyrite and non-sulfidic gangue minerals. Tailings
would then be thickened and pumped to a conventional storage facility.

Mineral Resource Estimate
The MRE, which used conceptual open pit mining constraints for reporting purposes, was previously reported by the Company in a news release dated September 5, 2023. The MRE, stated at a 40 g/t AgEq cut-off, is shown in Table 6.
To minimize upfront capital while maximizing the Project's return, the Company based the PEA on a 64 Mt subset of the near-surface, higher-grade material within the Upper Silver Zone of the MRE, as illustrated in Figure 1. This is anticipated to preserve the optionality to mine and process the remainder of the MRE at a later date.

Next Steps
With the completion of the PEA, New Pacific intends to continue its efforts to secure the necessary permits for the Project. The Company
will only proceed with a feasibility study, expected to take 12-18 months, once it has confidence in a favorable and timely permitting
outcome. This is anticipated to include securing a comprehensive mine development agreement with the local community, converting the Company's
exploration license into a mining license, substantially progressing an Environmental Impact Assessment Study ("EIA") and
obtaining legal certainty for the Project's location within 50 kilometers of the Bolivian border with Chile. The Company anticipates being
in such a position no earlier than the second half of 2025.
Significant progress has been made towards these milestones over the past year. For the EIA, the Company has completed baseline environmental data collection for both the dry and wet seasons and has recently secured community consent to begin the primary socioeconomic baseline data collection, which is expected to take several months to complete. This baseline data will help refine the Project's design, assess potential environmental and social impacts and will help inform agreements with the local community.
The Company is encouraged by the strong support from both the Oruro Department and the federal government in advancing the Project. Through its recently formed Oruro Mining Task Force, the Government of Bolivia has established a pathway for transitioning from an exploration license to a mining license, with Carangas set to become the first project to do so under Bolivia's 2014 mining code. The Company believes that continued collaboration and support from governmental authorities are crucial for the Project's success and its potential to become a key source of raw material for a zinc plant under construction by the Bolivian government in Oruro.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING RESULTS OF PRELIMINARY
ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT
The results of the PEA prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 titled "Carangas Deposit - Preliminary Economic Assessment"
with an anticipated effective date of October 1, 2024 and prepared by certain qualified persons associated with RPMGlobal are preliminary
in nature and are intended to provide an initial assessment of the Project's economic potential and development options of the Project.
The PEA mine schedule and economic assessment includes numerous assumptions and is based on both indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources.
Inferred resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them
to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessments described herein will be achieved
or that the PEA results will be realized. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by geology, environmental, permitting,
legal, title, socio-political, marketing or other relevant issues. Mineral resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated
economic viability. Additional exploration will be required to potentially upgrade the classification of the Inferred Mineral Resources
to be considered in future advanced studies. RPMGlobal (mineral resource, infrastructure, tailings, water management, environmental and
financial analysis) was contracted to conduct the PEA in cooperation with Moose Mountain Technical Services (mining), and JJ Metallurgical
Services (Metallurgy). The qualified persons for the PEA for the purposes of NI 43-101 are Mr. Marcelo del Giudice, FAusIMM, Principal
Metallurgist with RPMGlobal, Mr. Pedro Repetto, SME, P.E., Principal Civil/Geotechnical Engineer with RPMGlobal, Mr. Gonzalo Rios,
FAusIMM, Executive Consultant - ESG with RPMGlobal, Mr. Jinxing Ji, P.Eng., Metallurgist with JJ Metallurgical Services, and Mr. Marc
Schulte, P.Eng., Mining Engineer with Moose Mountain Technical Services., in addition to Mr. Anderson Candido, FAusIMM, Principal Geologist
with RPMGlobal who estimated the Mineral Resources. All qualified persons for the PEA have reviewed the disclosure of the PEA herein.
The PEA is based on the MRE, which was reported on September 5, 2023. The effective date of the MRE is August 25, 2023. Mineral Resources
are constrained by an optimized pit shell at a metal price of US$23.00/oz Ag, US$1,900.00/oz Au, US$0.95/lb Pb, US$1.25/lb Zn, recovery
of 90% Ag, 98% Au, 83% Pb, 58% Zn and Cut-off grade of 40 g/t AgEq. Assumptions made to derive a cut-off grade included mining costs,
processing costs, and recoveries were obtained from comparable industry situations.
