Nova Pacific Metals Samples 3.28 g/t Au, 418 g/t Ag, and 4.77% Cu at Lara Property Extension
Nova Pacific Metals (NVPCF) has announced promising confirmation sampling results from the Anita zone, an extension of its flagship Lara Project on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Surface grab samples revealed significant mineralization with values of 3.28 g/t Au, 418 g/t Ag, and 4.77% Cu.
The company reports higher copper grades at Anita compared to the Lara deposit, with similar gold and silver values to the Coronation Zone. These results confirm historical findings from Falconbridge in the 1980s.
Future exploration plans include a 10,000m targeted drilling program, geophysical and geochemical surveys, and initial metallurgical studies. The company aims to delineate mineralization extent and identify new areas of interest at the Lara Project.
Nova Pacific Metals (NVPCF) ha annunciato risultati promettenti di campionamento di conferma dalla zona Anita, un'estensione del suo progetto di punta Lara sull'isola di Vancouver, British Columbia. I campioni superficiali hanno rivelato una significativa mineralizzazione con valori di 3,28 g/t Au, 418 g/t Ag e 4,77% Cu.
L'azienda riporta gradi di rame più elevati ad Anita rispetto al deposito di Lara, con valori di oro e argento simili a quelli della zona Coronation. Questi risultati confermano le scoperte storiche di Falconbridge negli anni '80.
I piani di esplorazione futuri includono un programma di perforazione mirato di 10.000 m, sondaggi geofisici e geochimici, e studi metallurgici iniziali. L'azienda mira a delinerare l'estensione della mineralizzazione e identificare nuove aree di interesse nel progetto Lara.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 27, 2025) - Nova Pacific Metals Corp. (CSE: NVPC) (OTCQB: NVPCF) (FSE: YQ10) (WKN: A40GFH) (the "Company", or "Nova Pacific") is pleased to announce promising confirmation sampling results from surface exposures at the Anita zone, a strategic extension of the Company's flagship Lara Project on Vancouver Island, British Columbia (Figure 1).
Key Highlights:
Higher copper grades observed at Anita compared to the Lara deposit (Table 1).
Similar gold and silver values with associated base metals as at the Coronation Zone.
Nova Pacific's CEO, Mr. J. Malcolm Bell, commented, "The sampling results from the Anita zone, part of the western extension to the Lara deposit, are very encouraging as they confirm similar results obtained by Falconbridge in the 80's (Figure 2). Additional work will be undertaken this spring and summer prior to application for a drill program."

Future Work at Lara:
Nova Pacific's newly expanded land position underscores the potential of the Lara Project. The Company is now preparing to advance its exploration efforts, with plans including:
10,000 m targeted drilling program to further delineate the extent of mineralization at Lara
Geophysical and geochemical surveys outside the Lara deposit to identify new areas of interest
Initial metallurgical and "ore sorting" studies of the Lara deposit to inform future development plans
"These results help to confirm our understanding of Anita zone mineralization," Mr. Bell stated. "The potential for the discovery of mineralization at depth at Anita could substantially increase our resource potential, positioning Nova Pacific as an emerging player in British Columbia's critical minerals sector."
Investors should note that while these results are promising, further work is required to fully understand the extent and economic viability of the mineralization.
