Nova Pacific's Geological Compilation Reveals Historic High Grade Precious Metal Assays at the Lara Gold-Silver-Zinc-Copper Project

21.08.2024  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, August 21, 2024 - Nova Pacific Metals Corp. (CSE: NVPC) (OTCQB: NVPCF) (FSE: YQ10) (WKN: A40GFH) (the "Company," or "Nova Pacific") is pleased to provide an update related to the ongoing advancement of the Lara Project.

Recent compilation of historic drill hole data from the Coronation Zone has suggested a possible association between high-grade zinc, copper and lead intersections up to 17.46 m and significant precious metal grades (Table 1). These results highlight the polymetallic nature of the Lara volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit modelled as six discrete zones with a total strike length of approximately 1,180 meters.

Within the current claim boundaries, substantial work by Laramide Resources during the 1980's included over 323 drill holes totalling 58,262 meters, complete with 679 meters of pre-production underground access and drifting. Unfortunately, further development and production of the deposit stalled in 1989 due to a severe downturn in the economy and the resultant fall of metal prices.

Most of the drilling has been concentrated within the Coronation Trend, one of four mineralized trends identified on the southwest slopes of Coronation Mountain. A considerable number of these drill holes have returned high-grade results for gold, silver, zinc, copper and lead.

In addition, Drill hole 87-182 was excluded from the database as it was found to unduly influence the grade of the entire Inferred category over a composite interval of 2.02m containing:

Table 2. Drill hole 87-182 results

Zinc Silver Lead Copper Gold
25.37% 200.3 g/t 5.88% 2.53% 4.43 g/t

The position of 87-182 is over 100 meters from surrounding samples within the plane of the zone, and therefore many Inferred blocks would have been unduly influenced by this interval. Importantly, drill hole 87-182 terminates within a high-grade zone at a true depth of approximately 200 meters; this portion of the Coronation Trend is an ideal location for definition drilling as this high-grade area is open immediately up-dip (~75 m) and across strike to the east-southeast.

Nova Pacific's CEO, Mr. J. Malcolm Bell, stated, "A review of the recently completed NI 43-101 technical report and supporting drill data has shone a bright light on the high-grade nature of the Lara VMS deposit. Our plans are to further analyze the historical drill data to optimize hole locations for our proposed 40 hole in-fill drill program necessary to calculate a measured and indicated mineral deposit prior to undertaking a pre-feasibility study; subject to completing all necessary studies and obtaining the requisite permitting all with a goal of revitalizing the Lara project and bringing it into production."
