Summary

New Pacific Metals reported an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its Carangas project in Bolivia, highlighting a post-tax NPV(5%) of $2.65 billion and an IRR of 35.9%. The study projects a 19-year mine life producing 195 Moz payable silver and 1.1 Moz payable gold, with initial capital costs of $644.5 million and a 2.4-year payback period. The updated resource estimate, effective March 31, 2026, includes significant indicated and inferred resources across silver, gold, lead, and zinc zones.

Reasoning: The updated PEA for the Carangas project shows robust economics with a post-tax NPV(5%) of $2.65 billion and an IRR of 35.9%, driven by a low strip ratio and significant silver and gold production. However, the study is at a preliminary stage, includes inferred resources, and faces geopolitical and ownership risks in Bolivia. The resource update shows substantial indicated and inferred resources.

Positive factors

  • Strong post-tax NPV and IRR
  • Fast payback period
  • Low open pit strip ratio
  • Significant silver and gold production
  • Community agreement signed

Negative factors

  • Preliminary Economic Assessment level study
  • Reliance on Inferred Mineral Resources
  • Unresolved ownership of some mining concessions
  • Political and social instability risks in Bolivia

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 53

Classification and evidence

Cut-off Disclosedpositive

Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison.

Why it applies: A current resource fact retains the disclosed cut-off grade

Mill Routeneutral

Processing via mill or concentrator (CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation).

Why it applies: the document describes a mill_cil route ("concentrator")

Reasoning: The silver recovery to gold/silver doré of 60.0% is a moderate result, indicating some silver is recovered in the gold circuit.

Positive factors

  • Moderate silver recovery

Evidence · table

“60.0”

Context: Silver Recovery to Gold/Silver Dore

Tags used in scoring

Mill Routeneutral

Processing via mill or concentrator (CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation).

Why it applies: The processing involves cyanide leaching and associated circuits.

Evidence · text

“gold circuit (including cyanide leaching, counter-current decantation, Merril-Crowe, and smelting)”

Byproduct Commodityneutral

The tested commodity is a byproduct rather than the primary economic driver.

Why it applies: Silver is a primary commodity, but this specific recovery is for the gold doré, making it a byproduct in this circuit.

Evidence · text

Tags used in scoring

Mill Routeneutral

Processing via mill or concentrator (CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation).

Why it applies: The processing involves a flotation circuit to produce concentrates.

Evidence · text

“selective sequential flotation to produce a lead/silver concentrate and a zinc/silver concentrate”

Byproduct Commodityneutral

The tested commodity is a byproduct rather than the primary economic driver.

Why it applies: Zinc is a secondary commodity in the project, and its recovery contributes to overall economics.

How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
