Core Viewpoint - Nova Pacific Metals Corp. has reported promising initial assay results from its ongoing exploration drilling campaign at the Lara VMS Project on Vancouver Island, indicating the presence of mineralization and supporting the company's exploration model [1][3][9]. Exploration Results - The first four drill holes, totaling 582 meters, intersected mineralization, with notable intervals enriched with precious metals [1][3]. - Hole NP25-004 intersected 16.2 meters grading 3.3 g/t AuEq, while Hole NP25-001 intersected 17.64 meters grading 1.92 g/t AuEq [6][25]. - Assays are pending from an additional seven holes totaling 1,250 meters [4][7]. Project Overview - The Lara Project spans a 17-kilometer belt within the McLaughlin Ridge Formation, which is known for hosting the past-producing Myra Falls VMS Mine [1][13]. - The ongoing Phase 1 exploration program aims to verify historical drilling data to support a current mineral resource estimate targeted for Q4 2025 [12][20]. Future Plans - The company plans to conduct verification drilling and step-out drilling to test down-plunge extensions of previously intersected mineralization [11][12]. - Nova Pacific is also evaluating additional mineralized zones across the property to define resources beyond the Coronation area [14][20]. Technical and Quality Assurance - All drill core is logged, photographed, and analyzed under strict quality assurance and quality control protocols [16]. - The company has engaged Mineit Consulting Inc. to prepare an updated technical report for the Lara Project [12][20].
