Insights

Mining Financial Analyst

New Pacific reports narrower quarterly losses and reduced expenses while maintaining $16.67M working capital for advancing exploration projects.

New Pacific Metals' Q3 fiscal 2025 results show improved financial metrics with net loss decreasing to $0.86 million ($0.01 per share) for the quarter, down 32% from $1.27 million in Q3 2024. For the nine-month period, losses decreased by 37% to $2.86 million ($0.02 per share) from $4.54 million.

This performance improvement stems from two key factors: operating expenses decreased by 21% to $1.36 million for the quarter (and by 16% to $4.56 million for the nine-month period), while foreign exchange gains increased substantially to $0.28 million quarterly and $1.02 million for the nine months, compared to minimal gains in the prior year.

The company maintains a healthy $16.67 million in working capital as of March 31, 2025. At the current quarterly burn rate of approximately $1.36 million, this provides roughly 12 quarters of operational runway, assuming consistent spending patterns.

Project expenditures reveal the company's exploration priorities with Silver Sand receiving $0.30 million in quarterly investment (down from $0.71 million in the comparable period), while Carangas expenditures remained stable at $0.41 million. The Silverstrike project saw minimal investment at $0.01 million.

The expenditure breakdown shows most costs directed toward project management and support, with limited drilling and assaying during this period. The reduction in project expenditures compared to the previous year contributed to the improved financial results, though specific reasons for this reduction aren't provided in the release.

For a pre-revenue exploration mining company, New Pacific's decreased net loss and controlled expenditures represent prudent financial management while continuing to advance their portfolio of silver and base metal exploration assets.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING RESULTS OF PRELIMINARY ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT

The results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 titled "Carangas Deposit – Preliminary Economic Assessment" with an effective date of September 5, 2024 and prepared by certain qualified persons associated with RPMGlobal (the "Carangas PEA") are preliminary in nature and are intended to provide an initial assessment of the Project's economic potential and development options. The Carangas 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 Carangas 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 Carangas PEA in cooperation with Moose Mountain Technical Services (mining), and JJ Metallurgical Services (Metallurgy). The qualified persons for the Carangas 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 Carangas PEA have reviewed the disclosure of the Carangas PEA herein. The Carangas PEA is based on the Carangas MRE, which was reported on September 5, 2023. The effective date of the Carangas 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.
