    • This milestone, together with the launch of a 30,000 metre drill program aimed at resource upgrading, extensions, and feasibility study data, moves Carangas further along the path from exploration toward potential mine development.

    What Is New Pacific Metals' Investment Narrative?

    To own New Pacific Metals today, you have to believe that Carangas can transition from a promising study on paper into a permitted, financeable mine. The newly signed 30‑year Administrative Mining Contracts are a meaningful step in that direction, because they move tenure risk at Carangas closer to a political process rather than a purely administrative one, and clear the way for the 30,000 metre drill program that underpins the recent PEA and future feasibility work. In the near term, the key catalysts now sit around legislative ratification in Bolivia and drill results that could refine both scale and mine design, while the stock’s sharp move over the past year suggests some of that optimism is already reflected in the price. The flip side is that New Pacific still has no revenue, ongoing losses, and remains dependent on capital markets to fund this next stage.

    However, investors also need to be comfortable with concentrated country and permitting risk. Insights from our recent valuation report point to the potential overvaluation of New Pacific Metals shares in the market.
