"These results not only continue to support verification of the historical drilling at the Coronation Zone, but several intercepts have exceeded expectations in terms of grade and continuity compared to our exploration model," said Sam Eskandari, CEO of Nova Pacific Metals. "Drilling is helping us identify opportunities to define mineralization beyond what was encountered by prior operators. With assays pending from 16 holes, including several testing extensions beyond known mineralization, we anticipate strong news flow as we advance toward our planned mineral resource estimate later this year."

Assay Results from 16 Drillholes Are Pending

Nova Pacific has completed its Phase 1 drill program at the Coronation area, with 41 holes drilled totalling 8,660 metres ("m"). Of these, 36 holes were completed, while 5 were abandoned due to challenging ground conditions. To date, results from 23 holes (3,622 m) have been reported and assay results from 16 holes (5,038 m) are pending, providing significant news flow as the Company advances toward its planned mineral resource estimate that is targeted for the fourth quarter of this year.

Results Continue to Support Exploration Model

While only midway through reporting assay results from this program, results appear to broadly continue to validate the Company's exploration model and are generally consistent with historical drilling in these portions of the Coronation deposit. This provides encouraging support for the verification of the historical dataset. Valuable geological information has also been obtained that will refine the Company's interpretation, expand orebody knowledge, and identify opportunities for potential mineralized extensions.

The drillholes reported in this release, summarized in Tables 1 and 2, are located along the section lines identified in Figures 1 and 2 near the end of this news release. The following provides context on the objectives and results for each hole within this target area.

Section C1

With respect to drillholes from section C1 (Figures 3 and 4), and moving from east to west, results generally built in grade and significance:

• NP25-029: Grades consistent with the model; 10 m grading 2.5 g/t AuEq (6.1% ZnEq) from 100 m downhole within a stockwork sulphide zone quartz-sericite altered rhyolite.

NP25-029: Fine-grained rhyolite, variably altered by quartz-sericite, rhyolite with zones of semi-massive to massive sulphide along with discrete sulphide veins. 12 m grading 1.7 g/t AuEq (6.1% ZnEq) from 100 m downhole.

• NP25-026: Stronger-than-anticipated results over two closely spaced intervals both containing sulphide veining within altered rhyolite:

  • 4 m grading 1.8 g/t Au (4.0% ZnEq) from 135 m downhole.

  • 4 m grading 3.6 g/t Au (8.4% ZnEq) from 143 m downhole.

• NP25-027: Standout hole with significantly higher grades than expected; 6.05 m grading 4.0 g/t AuEq (10.5% ZnEq) from 45.5 m downhole within a brecciated and altered rhyolite containing massive sulphides.

• NP25-031: 6 m grading 0.8 g/t AuEq (2.1% ZnEq); filled a gap in the model and confirmed down-plunge extensions to known historical mineralization in fault-hosted sulphide bearing quartz veins.

• NP25-023: Solid intercepts in line with the model; 10 m grading 0.8 g/t Au (1.9% ZnEq) from 222 m downhole within the altered rhyolite containing disseminated sulphides.

• NP25-022: Broad zone with better-than-expected grades; 12 m grading 1.7 g/t AuEq (4.3% ZnEq) within altered rhyolite containing bands of semi-massive sulphides.

NP25-022: Fine-grained rhyolite, variably altered by quartz-sericite, with abundant sulphide banding following foliation. 12 m grading 1.7 g/t AuEq (4.3% ZnEq) from 166 m downhole.

• Assays pending: NP25-011, NP25-012, NP25-013, NP25-014, and NP25-016: drilled to verify historical results in this area.

• Step-out holes with assays pending: NP25-009, NP25-015, NP25-021, NP25-038, and NP25-041: step-out holes designed to test for extensions beyond areas of mineralization identified by historical drilling.

NP25-025 was drilled from section line C1 and intersected favourable alteration in rhyolite but did not encounter any significant intervals of mineralization. NP25-030-A was abandoned due to difficult ground conditions and was not redrilled.

Section E1

With respect to drillholes from section E1 on the eastern side of the Coronation property:

• NP25-037: Intersected mineralization at grades significantly higher than predicted by the model; 10.5 m grading 1.8 g/t AuEq (4.3% ZnEq) from 143.5 m downhole within massive and semi-massive sulphides in altered rhyolite. This hole was also intended to test for a deep down-plunge extensions outside of the model and intersected favourable alteration but did not return any significant intervals.

• NP25-018: Intersected mineralization within the Extension Zone, returning grades in line with model expectations; 3 m grading 0.6 g/t Au (1.9%ZnEq) from sulphide bearing quartz veins with altered rhyolite.

• Assays are pending for NP25-024, 028, 032 to verify historical drilling in this area.

• Assays are pending for NP25-034, a step-out hole intended to test for extensions

NP25-033 and NP25-035 were designed to test whether the Coronation Zone extended beneath the Extension Zone identified by prior explorers. NP25-035 deviated from its intended trajectory and appears to have overshot its target, and neither hole encountered significant mineralization. These results support the interpretation that the Coronation trend does not extend eastward beneath the Extension Zone. While the Company continues to gather and interpret data, with additional results pending, evidence is building to support the interpretation that the Extension Zone, as defined by past explorers, may in fact represent a splay or faulted continuation of the main Coronation Zone.

Section W3

With respect to drillholes from section W3 (Figures 7 and 8):

• NP25-008: Intersected the Coronation Zone at the anticipated downhole position with thicknesses consistent with the model, and returned grades significantly higher than predicted; 3 m grading 1.5 g/t AuEq (4.2% ZnEq) from 169 m downhole, followed in close succession by 2 m grading 1.0 g/t AuEq (2.7% ZnEq) from 175 m downhole within altered rhyolite in sulphide bands that follow foliation.

• Assays are also pending for NP25-039 and NP25-040 along section line W2 to verify historical drilling in this area.

NP25-010 was designed to test for a down-plunge extension of the Coronation Zone but did not intersect any significant intervals, despite encountering favourable alteration that is typically associated with sulphide bearing zones at the Coronation deposit.

Current Mineral Resources Estimate Targeted for Q4/2025

The Phase 1 exploration program is intended to verify up to 39,092 m of historical drilling across 245 holes in the Coronation area of the Lara Project, which previously supported a historical mineral resource estimate. The Company cautions that the historical estimate for Coronation area is not a current mineral resource or reserve under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), as a 'qualified person' ("QP") has not done sufficient work to classify it as such, and it should not be relied upon. The Company intends to verify historical drilling data through its Phase 1 exploration program to support a current mineral resource estimate targeted for Q4 2025, subject to successful exploration drilling and the timely receipt of final assay results. In anticipation of this, Mineit Consulting Inc. has been engaged to prepare an updated technical report for the Lara Project, under the supervision of Greg Mosher, M.Sc., P.Geo.

Advancing Lara's Regional Exploration Potential Through Evaluation of Additional Targets

Coronation is just one of several high-priority targets within Nova Pacific's 17-kilometre VMS belt on Vancouver Island. The belt lies within the prospective McLaughlin Ridge Formation, a correlative volcanic sequence that hosts the past-producing Myra Falls VMS Mine and remains underexplored despite favourable geology and nearby infrastructure. The Lara Project spans 19 mineral claims covering 47 square kilometres, with an unverified historical dataset that includes 323 drillholes totalling 58,262 m of drilling.

Although the Coronation area has attracted most of the historical work, Nova Pacific has begun evaluating six additional mineralized zones across the property, many of which contain historical drill holes. These zones are largely untested and form a key part of the Company's strategy to define resources at the Lara Project beyond the Coronation area. Field programs, including mapping, systematic sampling, and historical data compilation, will be used to refine targets and support future drilling. The potential for lens stacking and stratigraphic clustering, characteristic of VMS camps, further strengthens the broader exploration thesis.

Sampling, Quality Assurance and Quality Control

All drill core is logged by a geologist, photographed, and cut in half at Nova Pacific's core facility near Nanaimo, British Columbia. One half of the core is bagged and sent to ALS Canada Ltd. (ALS) in North Vancouver for analysis, while the other half is retained on site as a witness sample. ALS North Vancouver is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited, and all samples are analyzed using industry-standard fire assay, multi-element ICP methods following four-acid digestion, and, where applicable, overlimit assays for high-grade. In addition to the laboratory's QA/QC practices, certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates are inserted into the sample stream at regular intervals to monitor analytical accuracy. Only results that meet Nova Pacific's QA/QC protocols are reported.
