Safe and Stable: Bolivia Welcomes Foreign Investment and Transforms MiningToronto Stock Exchange confirms support for rigorous business strategyMay 21, 2026 2:55 AM
IH Market News Bolivia is putting up a welcome sign for foreign investors, and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) recognized the milestone recently with its first-ever Bolivian visit.The TSX came to La Paz, Bolivia’s administrative capital, for a high-profile conference of business and finance leaders celebrating Bolivia’s growing capacity to attract and responsibly manage foreign investment.This article is disseminated in partnership with New Pacific Metals Corp. It is intended to inform investors and should not be taken as a recommendation or financial advice. Bolivia is actively restructuring its regulatory and financial frameworks, in a strategic bid to cultivate international capital markets and deliver economic benefits to the South American nation, its communities, and its people. Business in Bolivia: Safeguards and Security Bolivia is brimming with potential and ground-floor investment opportunities, finance and mining officials said during “Funding Opportunities on the Toronto Stock Exchange,” the conference sponsored by the TMX Group (owner of the TSX) and the Canadian Bolivian Chamber of Commerce.As Bolivia’s government welcomes investment, the partnership with the TSX, the historic exchange with deep roots in resource-sector financing, sends an obliging signal. Listed companies must comply with rigorous legal regulations and obligations, assuring investors that their money is safe, protected, and going toward its intended purpose.Projects in the mining sector, a key target of Bolivia’s plan, are making progress through the twin factors of investor confidence and access to capital. For example, New Pacific Metals considers itself a proud member of the companies now putting their stakes in business-friendly Bolivia.Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, New Pacific Metals (AMEX:NEWP) is deeply invested in two Bolivian mining projects, currently in the technical work, development, and permitting phase. With the full participation of local and federal officials, both projects are poised to reach the permitted production phase as planned.International capital markets have the power to support advancement of responsible mining projects in Bolivia and deliver an economic boost to the regions where they operate, New Pacific Metals CEO Jalen Yuan told the conference audience.New Pacific’s projects are expected to generate more than $700 million for the economy, Yuan said. The benefits could accumulate into tens of billions of dollars as other companies, encouraged by a government delivering on its promises of regulatory predictability, obtain their own permits.Pantera Silver Corp. President and CEO Jay Roberge also served on the panel, representing another TSX-listed company keen on Bolivian mineral exploration and development. According to Roberge, Pantera has received strong local support in Bolivia, one of the high-potential regions where the company, though its silver discoveries, strives to create shareholder value while building positive and sustainable relationships with communities. Bolivian Mining, Transformed The TSX engagement symbolizes a new era in Bolivian mining.The government’s strategic steps are transforming the sector. It’s all part of a broader shift toward international capital integration, regulatory clarity, and long-term sector development.High international standards and greater transparency create safeguards and reestablish the nation as a competitive destination for global mining investment, according to the Bolivian Ministry of Mining and Metallurgy.Encouraging international investment and reaching out to international leaders in mining help secure Bolivia’s future, as the strategy coordinates the investments that promote exploration, employment, and Bolivia’s economic development.In joining forces with the TSX, the Bolivian government reinforces transparency and investor confidence by bringing globally recognized standards directly to Bolivian mining. For instance, companies listed on Canadian stock exchanges must comply with NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, reporting their scientific and technical information openly and accurately.The assurance of continuous reporting obligations, strong corporate governance, and governmental responsibility gives investors the confidence to pursue high-yield opportunities in Bolivia’s extensive but historically underdeveloped mining sector.   Regulation: Building the Foundation for Sustainable Investment Regulatory improvement is the linchpin of Bolivia’s renewed business strategy. It’s not just about removing red tape. Bolivia’s foundation for a robust business environment institutionalizes access to capital, with financing mechanisms that are structured, predictable, and aligned with international expectations.In mining, this level of diligence is crucial to securing long-term capital commitments, stable operating environments, and – most important for project success – clear permitting and compliance processes.It’s all in Bolivia’s plan, which generates: Legal certainty for investors. Transparent and consistent policies. Competitive fiscal frameworks. Responsible and sustainable mining practices. Hands Across the Hemisphere The TSX entry onto the scene solidifies plans forged at PDAC 2026. There at the world’s premier mineral exploration and mining convention, Bolivia initiated its strategy to attract specialized investment by maximizing its geological potential, enhancing its mining prospects, and strengthening its regulatory framework.Bolivia is in a new stage of intensive exploration, Deputy Minister of Mining Policy, Regulation and Supervision Danile Velasco affirmed at the TSX funding opportunities conference.This phase strategically incorporates new technologies, junior companies, and financial tools. Paired with the government’s openness to foreign investment and the vote of confidence from the TSX, all signs point to the transformation of Bolivia’s rich geological potential into sustainable, productive projects that support long-term growth and economic prosperity.Sponsored Article: InvestorsHub.com Inc. dba The Market Link has been compensated CASH: $1091 by New Pacific Metals Corp.

Critical Mineral-Rich Bolivia Is At A Turning Point As It Courts Western Investments And Friendlier U.S. Ties, Opening Doors For MinersApril 21, 2026 9:02 AM
IH Market News
By Meg Flippin, BenzingaPaid Advertisement for New Pacific Metals.After nearly two decades of socialist rule, mineral-rich Bolivia is at a turning point, following the inauguration of President Rodrigo Paz in November 2025. In an effort to shore up an economy that is suffering from soaring inflation and depleted foreign exchange reserves , the new government has introduced a “capitalism for all” platform that includes restoring full diplomatic ties with the U.S. and encouraging investments from the Western world and international financial institutions.The country, which for years prioritized state-led resource nationalism, is ready and willing to embrace foreign direct investment in strategic sectors, including mining. Bolivia wants to play a larger role in the global critical mineral supply chain and is betting that a shift into capitalism will help it achieve that end. That’s a far cry from a few years ago, when Bolivia nationalized its hydrocarbon sector, expelled the U.S. ambassador and restricted private participation in its vast natural resource reserves.



Western-Friendly Moves



One of the steps Bolivia is taking under its new government is an attempt to end twenty years of fuel subsidies in favor of market-based pricing. While this move faced significant domestic pushback from citizens accustomed to low gas prices, forcing a partial rollback of the efforts in early 2026, it remains a clear signal to international lenders that the Paz administration is serious about getting its finances in order.Along with this shift is Paz’s move to restore full diplomatic ties with the U.S. after a 17-year pause. By doing so, the country hopes to lure Western investment and technical expertise to its mining sector, specifically targeting its vast resources of lithium, silver and tin. As part of this effort, Bolivia has introduced a three-year profit tax holiday for new projects and vowed fast-track regulatory approvals to bypass the bureaucratic red tape that was a staple of the former government. By inviting independent third-party certification of its resources and promising transparent, bankable contracts, the Paz administration aims to position Bolivia as a reliable alternative in the global critical minerals supply chain.



Helping The World Move Away From Socialist Infrastructure



The efforts on the part of Bolivia come at a time when the Western world is looking to reduce its reliance on China and Russia for critical minerals, particularly those deemed vital for its economic and national security. After all, Bolivia holds the world’s largest lithium resources, but they have largely been trapped in the ground.It also holds the world’s 9th-largest silver reserves but has been unable to extract the metal at scale. By modernizing its mining laws, the new government hopes to turn these resources into a main driver of its economic recovery. It also aligns Bolivia closer to the U.S.’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which aims to unlock billions of dollars in consumer tax credits for electric vehicles (EVs) that use minerals from countries with which the U.S. has a free trade agreement. While Bolivia can’t claim that status, it is seeking a Critical Minerals Agreement (CMA) similar to the one theU.S. signed with Japan. This would allow Bolivian lithium, silver and tin to be treated as FTA-compliant under the IRA.Lithium is necessary for the batteries that go into EVs, and silver, which is the most conductive metal on earth, is used in everything from the photovoltaic cells in solar panels to the complex electrical systems in EVs. It is also a key component for military applications, including missile guidance systems, satellite communications and radar. As it stands, the U.S. imports the majority of its silver, and with China controlling a large part of the supply, it is actively looking for stable partners, which the government of Bolivia is trying to become.



Investment Opportunities Abound



If Bolivia is successful with its efforts, it could open up an entirely new avenue of investment for investors. After all, Bolivia has large underdeveloped mineral resources that are in the early stages of exploration. Plus, with regulatory reforms and the interest on the part of Western economies to find new suppliers, money could pour into the country.None of this is lost on New Pacific Metals Corp. (TSX:NUAG) (AMEX:NEWP), the Vancouver, British Columbia, mining exploration and development company with two permitting-stage precious metal projects in Bolivia. The company has been investing in those projects and is confident it will pay off in the coming years. After all, the company owns two of the world’s largest undeveloped open-pit silver projects, which have the potential to produce nearly 19 million ounces of silver annually.Building on that, New Pacific said it reached a milestone in February by signing a framework agreement with the Carangas community, which clears a key hurdle for the development of its silver-gold project. This agreement, which includes commitments to local infrastructure and environmental protections, enables the company to move ahead with a 30,000-meter drilling campaign and a formal feasibility study this year, reported New Pacific. With the new Bolivian government promising to fast-track the conversion of exploration licenses into full mining permits, New Pacific says it is positioned to transition from an explorer to a silver producer just as demand for green energy technologies takes off.Bolivia is at a crossroads as it shifts from socialist rule toward capitalism. With the Western world looking for friendly countries to get its critical minerals from, Bolivia is raising its hand and saying it wants to be a major supplier. If the country is successful with its efforts, it could spell more opportunities for shareholders of companies like New Pacific.

Early Entry, Outsized Upside: Why it’s Time to Leverage Silver’s Breakout InvestmentMarch 25, 2026 3:50 AM
IH Market News
Early investments in metals mining have a history of delivering strong yields, and one emerging mining company is maximizing the vast potential of Bolivia to bring a jolt of supply to a world hungry for silver.Global demand for silver is surging and shows no sign of easing. However, as the silver market is in its sixth year of a structural deficit between supply and demand. The perfect storm of high demand, scarce supply, and underdeveloped fields is driving silver to record-high price ranges, reaching $81 by mid-March 2026.Silver is indispensable to the global electronics, transportation, and sustainability sectors, according to the Silver Institute. Silver powers up cellphones and tablets, converts sunlight to energy in solar panels, helps keep data centers cool, and puts electronic vehicles on the road.“Silver does everything from the greenification of the globe to artificial intelligence and data centers,” Silver Institute President and CEO Michael DiRenzo said in the podcast. “There’s just not enough silver to meet demand right now.”The podcast took a deep dive into mining development, the dwindling life of heritage silver mines, and the new players ripe for investment as they prepare for production that helps meet demand.



Ground-floor opportunities



As historical data and the respected Lassonde Value Curve show, early shareholders in “junior” mining companies – those pursuing early-stage due diligence – get to buy low before watching values rise steeply when the initial exploration, development, and feasibility phases transform into construction and production.New Pacific Metals (AMEX:NEWP), Canadian owner of two of the world’s largest undeveloped open pitable silver projects, is among those stepping into the breach as a major future supplier.Currently, New Pacific Metals’ two major precious metal assets in Bolivia are in the technical work, development, and permitting phase, creating opportunities for strong value creation when production drives share prices higher.In this atmosphere, Bolivia is bullish on silver. The nation of 12.6 million people in west-central South America has been a bulwark of silver development since the 16th century. Today, with three large-scale silver mines in operation, Bolivia is the world’s fourth-largest silver producing country, outputting 42 million ounces in 2023 and 2024.Recognizing the job creation and economic benefits of mining, Bolivia’s newly elected government encourages foreign investment and is smoothing the way for responsible permitting and contracting. Low-cost power is available through stable connections to the electrical grid, and roads are getting upgrades for all-season access and efficient logistics.New Pacific Metals is capitalizing on the rich deposits of its Silver Sand and Carangas projects. Silver Sand, in Bolivia’s growing Potosi region, has the potential to become one of the world’s largest silver mines, yielding around 12 million ounces of silver a year.The Carangas silver-gold project in Oruro strengthens New Pacific’s portfolio through scale, robust economics, and regional exploration potential. Carangas offers output potential of about 6.5 million ounces annually, plus significant possibilities for growth amid a large ore body.Combined, the potential annual silver output from Silver Sand and Carangas could equal, or exceed, that of many established global producers.“Nineteen million ounces of silver coming to the market would be great, with respect to meeting this burgeoning demand,” said DiRenzo.In 2026, New Pacific Metals is aligned to meet major objectives toward the goals of full permitting by early 2028. Both projects combine government engagement with strong local community partnerships to advance the environmental license.“One of the most important things that mining companies take really seriously is sustainability in the development and maintenance of that community,” DiRenzo noted.New Pacific’s major shareholders include two major players in global metals – Silvercorp, a 28 percent owner with additional assets in China, Ecuador, and Kyrgyzstan, and Pan American Silver, a longtime Bolivian producer with 12 percent ownership. Their skin in the game demonstrates confidence and reinforces the projects with additional strategic and technical backing.Once New Pacific achieves permitting, an array of financing options are expected to deliver strong value to shareholders. As DiRenzo noted, many mining companies have joined the Silver Institute as juniors, “and they’re thriving now.”“I anticipate the same case will be with New Pacific,” he said.New Pacific Metals is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. Its shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “NUAG” and on the NYSE American under “NEWP”.For more on the demand driving up the value of silver-mining investments, listen to the Silver Institute “Talking Silver” podcast episode, “Meeting Silver’s Demand.”

Original: NEW PACIFIC REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

Silver Miners and Investors Find Promise in Mining-Friendly, Underdeveloped BoliviaFebruary 10, 2026 12:00 AM
IH Market News
As the world’s need for electronic devices and renewable energy accelerates, silver is hitting record highs in demand and pricing, and the surge shows no signs of easing.This article is disseminated on behalf of New Pacific Metals Corp. It is intended to inform investors and should not be taken as a recommendation or financial advice.The nonstop need for silver continues increasing its value for investors, but high demand also puts pressure on limited supplies. A few producers are stepping up their output, ready to accommodate global needs.“Silver is indispensable to everyday life and the global economy,” said Jalen Yuan, CEO of New Pacific Metals Corp. (AMEX:NEWP) (TSX:NUAG) “Dedicated silver exploration and development is taking on increasing urgency for its power to deliver consistent returns in a fluctuating market while also promising better lives for people the world over.”



Silver on the upswing



At the end of 2025, silver prices reached all-time highs above $60 an ounce, and in and after peaking at over $120 per ounce in January 2026, it remained over $75 per ounce.What’s driving industrial demand? In essence, anything with an on/off switch probably needs silver – and silver only. Industry requires silver for its unparalleled conductive qualities, and unlike copper and other metals, alternatives are scarce.Silver is essential for the growing electronics and sustainability sectors. Industry is now consuming 59 percent of the world’s silver output, applying it to:




Solar energy panels. Silver converts sunlight to electrons and carries the electricity generated. Despite a slowdown in U.S. incentives, global solar installations rose by 33 percent in 2024 and are expected to continue rising in the low double digits through 2029, according to Solar Power Europe.



Electronic devices. One-third of the world’s silver goes toward electronics, creating electrical pathways and facilitating light-touch on/off switches in cellphones, tablets, toys, and more.



AI and data centers. The data centers powering AI have become the fastest-growing electronics category. They need silver for cloud infrastructures, high-speed networking, and cooling systems.



Automotives. Electric vehicles consume twice the silver of gas-powered vehicles for their additional electrical systems and power management components. Half all vehicles sold by 2035 are expected to be EVs, predicts the International Energy Association.



Wearables. Increasingly, smart rings, watches, pendants, and even clothing are monitoring biometrics, sleep, activity, and personal air quality.




“As we become more connected in society, we become more reliant on electronic devices, and demand for silver is going to stay very strong,” said Trevor Keel, technical director, the Silver Institute.



A geopolitical player



While industrial demand rises, silver is also gaining popularity as a safe haven for investors seeking certainty amid the global political strife. Since the U.S. Geological Survey listed silver as a “critical mineral” essential to national security, some analysts expect stockpiling by the U.S. and other nations.Precious metals analyst David Morgan suggested the possibility of a 3x rise in silver prices from their mid-2025 levels. Metals markets, he said, are moving “at a sprint,” as institutions and the public seek them out to hedge against currency disruption.The confluence of surging demand for silver and political uncertainty “is enough to more than move the needle on continued safe-haven demand for gold and silver,” said Kitco News analyst Jim Wyckoff.Global mine production reached a seven-year high of 844 million ounces in 2025, according to the Silver Institute, but like a bathtub that drains faster than it fills, it isn’t enough. The World Silver Survey projects a shortfall of 118 million ounces in 2026.“In short, silver supply is sticky, but demand is anything but,” said Amit Pabari, managing director, CR Forex Advisors.



Bolivia to the forefront



A look at Mining.com’s top 20 silver-producing regions, including Poland, Mexico, and Russia, shows an array of barriers in silver production. Mining companies encounter strikes, land use disputes with communities, and logistical challenges. One leading company changed its domicile and sold its Russian assets to evade U.S. sanctions in 2023.In this atmosphere, Bolivia is emerging as a safe and stable supplier of the silver the world needs. Bolivia is the world’s fourth-largest silver producing country, rich with minerals and, unlike Mexico and other silver regions, underexplored geographically, with limited modern exploration. Mining exports doubled year-over-year in 2020, and a new, mining-friendly government is inviting foreign investment.New Pacific Metals, a Canadian exploration and development company advancing precious metal projects in Bolivia, owns two of the world’s largest undeveloped open pitable silver projects, positioning the company as a major future supplier to meet global demand.New Pacific’s permitting-stage Silver Sand project in Bolivia’s Potosi region could become one of the world’s largest pure silver mines, with the potential to produce about 12 million ounces of silver annually at all-in sustaining costs of below $11 an ounce.New Pacific’s Carangas Silver–Gold Project in Oruro strengthens the company’s portfolio through scale, robust economics, and regional exploration potential. Major steps expected at Carangas in 2026 include a 30,000-meter drilling program to upgrade and expand gold and silver resources, finalization of a community agreement, advancing the environmental license through strong government engagement and community partnerships, complete conversion from an exploration license to an exploitation license, and an updated preliminary economic assessment to include a gold zone.When underway, Carangas’ development could add about 6.6 million ounces to annual supply.Combined, the Silver Sand and Carangas Silver-Gold projects could produce as much or more silver output than many established global producers. The strong economic fundamentals of the projects are evident in high internal rates of return and low all-in sustaining costs per ounce of silver.With more than a decade of operating experience in Bolivia, New Pacific has earned the confidence of stakeholders and shareholders, including major ownership shares by industry leaders Silvercorp Metals, at 28 percent, and Pan American Silver, at 12 percent. The commitment of highly reputable industry players demonstrates their confidence in the projects while assuring strategic and technical backing. Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company’s shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under NUAG and on the New York Stock Exchange under NEWP.“The New Pacific Metals strategy for strong ROI in Bolivia is built on careful project identification and acquisition, thorough geological study, well-planned drilling, and long-term shareholder value creation,” said Yuan. “Our corporate social responsibility team is constantly on the ground, building respectful ties with local and national stakeholders. With its extensive commitments and strategic approach to bringing the Silver Sand and Carangas projects to fruition, New Pacific offers investors a rare opportunity to capitalize on an underdeveloped region now poised for significant contributions to meeting the world’s demand for silver.”For more information, please visit newpacificmetals.com/welcome.

New Pacific Metals Signs Agreement to Sell Its 100% Interest in the XSK and HNK Gold-Polymetallic Projects in Guangdong for $30.5 Million

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 27, 2010) - New Pacific Metals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NUX) ("New Pacific") announces that its sole subsidiary company has signed a share transfer and cooperation framework agreement (the "Agreement") with a Chinese gold investment company, the PGC Group Co. Ltd. According to the Agreement, New Pacific will transfer its 100% interest in Jin Chang Jiang Mining Co. Ltd. ("JCJM"), a wholly owned foreign enterprise in China, to the PGC Group for $30.5 million. JCJM's main assets are the XSK and HNK gold-polymetallic projects in Guangdong, China. The PGC Group is a Chinese government controlled enterprise located in Shandong province. The PGC's total assets were about $339 million by the end of 2009 and its sales revenue was about $150 million in 2009.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the PGC will first purchase a 60% interest of JCJM for $15.25 million in three instalments: 1) first payment of $3.05 million within 5 business days after signing the Agreement; 2) second payment of $4,575,000 within 25 business days after required due diligent documents are provided to the PGC Group; and 3) third payment of $7,625,000 within 5 business days after the 60% interest being officially transferred to the PGC Group, as evidenced by a new business license issued by Chinese government authorities. After the first purchase, JCJM will become a 60%/40% joint venture between the PGC Group and New Pacific.

The PGC Group will purchase the remaining 40% interest from New Pacific for $15.25 million within 24 months after signing the Agreement. The consideration for the payment will be through the issuance of shares of a subsidiary of the PGC Group. The subsidiary is in the process of applying for an initial public offering ("IPO") or reverse take-over ("RTO") on one of the Chinese stock exchanges. In the event that the subsidiary of the PGC Group fails to be listed through IPO or RTO, or if it does not wish to issue shares to New Pacific, then the PGC Group agrees that it will make a cash payment of $15.25 million to New Pacific for the remaining 40% interest.

New Pacific has agreed to pay a finder's fee of 6% for the first $15.25 million payment and 5% for the second $15.25 million payment.

The completion of the whole transaction is subject to government and regulatory authorities approval.

New Pacific Metals Announces Intention to Make Take-Over Bid for Tagish Lake Gold Corp.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 5, 2010) - New Pacific Metals Corp. ("New Pacific") (TSX VENTURE:NUX) announces today that it intends to make an offer to purchase all of the common shares (the "Offer") of Tagish Lake Gold Corp. ("Tagish Lake", TSXV: TLG.V). New Pacific's offer is $0.06 per share payable in cash or in 0.0822 New Pacific shares, or a combination of 50% in cash and 50% in New Pacific shares at the election of the Tagish Lake shareholders. New Pacific is concurrently offering to purchase for cash the approximately $7.4 million in secured and unsecured debt on the books of Tagish Lake. Secured creditors of Tagish Lake (the "Secured Creditors") are being offered 100% of their proven claim amounts with no conditions, and unsecured creditors (the "Unsecured Creditors") will be offered 100% of their debt on the books of the Company subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions under the take-over bid.

The Offer for the Tagish Lake common shares represents a premium of 50% over Tagish Lake's closing share price on July 2, 2010, and a 50% premium to Tagish Lake's 20-day, and year to date volume-weighted average closing price ("VWAP") on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). New Pacific is offering Tagish Lake shareholders certainty, and a solution to remove Tagish Lake from Companies Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") protection, with a compelling premium to the longstanding share price, in a bid that enables them to choose to cash out or participate in the development of Tagish Lake's Skukum Creek Gold District.

New Pacific has $10 million in cash, a further $10 million available under a line of credit, a transparent ownership structure and a track record of raising capital in North American financial markets. Its management and directors have a history of operational success in bringing high grade, narrow vein mines into production effectively.

The Offer

The Offer permits Tagish Lake shareholders to choose between:

1. $0.06 per share in cash (the "Cash Election"); or
2. 0.0822 of a New Pacific share (the "Share Election"), at an implied price of $0.73 per New Pacific share, being the 20 day VWAP of New Pacific shares on the TSXV up to July 2, 2010; or
3. a combination of 50% in cash and 50% in New Pacific shares (the "Combined Election").

Consideration receivable by Tagish Lake shareholders under the Offer represents a compelling 50% premium over both Tagish Lake's closing share price of $0.04 on the TSXV on July 2, 2010 and Tagish Lake's 20-day and year to date VWAPs on the TSXV.

Further:

* the Offer represents a premium of approximately 860% over the offered value that had been approved by the Tagish Lake Board of Directors under the proposed amalgamation in 2009 with YS Mining Company Inc. ("YSM" or "YS Mining"), which valued the Tagish Lake shares at $0.00625 per share. That proposed amalgamation did not receive approval from TSXV and was subsequently terminated by YSM (see Tagish Lake press releases of April 2, May 19, June 12, July 2, August 11 & 19, 2009)

* the Offer also represents a superior alternative to Tagish Lake management's submission to the Supreme Court of British Columbia in the CCAA action that the asset value of the Company is less than its $7.4 million debt.

Offer to Secured Creditors

New Pacific is offering to pay Secured Creditors 100% of their proven claim amounts in cash. Secured Creditors who accept the offer will be paid regardless of the outcome of the takeover bid.

Offer to Unsecured Creditors

New Pacific is offering to pay Unsecured Creditors 100% of the value of their debt on the books of the Company, subject to the minimum tender condition under the takeover bid being satisfied and New Pacific taking up and paying for Tagish Lake shares tendered to the Offer.

Additional Details of the Offer

Full details of the Offer and the offer to the Secured Creditors and Unsecured Creditors will be contained in a formal offer and take-over bid circular to be filed with securities regulatory authorities and mailed to Tagish Lake shareholders and creditors. New Pacific has formally requested a list of Tagish Lake shareholders and expects to formally launch its Offer as soon as practicable following receipt of the Tagish Lake shareholder list. The Offer will remain open for at least 35 days following the commencement of the Offer. Copies of the Offer, offering circular and related documents will also be made available under New Pacific's filings on the SEDAR system: www.sedar.com.

The Offer, and the offer to Unsecured Creditors will be subject to certain customary conditions including: a minimum tender threshold of 66 2/3% of the Tagish Lake Shares, receipt of all required regulatory approvals and third-party consents, the absence of any material adverse change in Tagish Lake; the absence of certain prohibited activities on the part of Tagish Lake (including share issuances, material debt issuances, acquisitions and dispositions) between the date hereof and the expiry of the Offer; and no untrue statements or omissions in Tagish Lake's public disclosure.

New Pacific holds, through a wholly owned subsidiary, 14,300,000 shares of Tagish Lake acquired at prevailing prices through the facilities of the TSXV, representing 9.9% of the current issued and outstanding capital of Tagish Lake.

This press release does not constitute an offer to buy or an invitation to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or invitation to sell, any of the securities of New Pacific or Tagish Lake. Such an offer may only be made pursuant to an offer and take-over bid circular filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada.

Background to the Offer

Due to threats from secured creditors to seize the Company's assets, Tagish Lake sought, and is currently under Court protection from creditors pursuant to, an Order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, under the CCAA granted April 9, 2010, as extended and amended by a Claims Process Order on May 7, 2010. See Tagish Lake press releases of April 12, May 6, and May 17, 2010.

Prior to announcing this Offer, New Pacific made a written proposal to the Board of Tagish Lake offering to immediately pay off and take an assignment of any outstanding secured loans and to agree not to enforce any security for at least one year, in conjunction with a friendly acquisition of Tagish Lake at $0.06 per common share, pursuant to a statutory Plan of Arrangement. On July 4, 2010, New Pacific received a response from the CEO of Tagish Lake advising that the board was prepared to discuss the proposal, but was unable to convene a board meeting to consider the matter until Tuesday July 6, 2010. New Pacific looks forward to hearing from the Tagish Lake board.

While New Pacific would much prefer to negotiate a friendly transaction with Tagish Lake, New Pacific is of the view that its proposal to Tagish Lake is material information that must be disclosed to the market. There is no certainty that a negotiated transaction on acceptable terms can be reached.

Should New Pacific be successful in its proposed offer, a priority will be to call an annual general meeting to elect directors, as the last shareholder meeting was held in March 2007.

New Pacific has secured a letter of credit in the amount of up to $10,000,000 with a shareholder of New Pacific. The letter of credit will bear interest at the Bank of Montreal prime rate plus 7% per annum, and New Pacific must pay an establishment fee of up to $350,000.

kiwisteve, Just found the board and will be getting a position soon. Are you located in Asia? We spend about 6 months a year in Singapore and usually spend some time in China each year.

"silver is produced for free?"

... With all of the above said, more exposure to precious metals appears warranted, especially in the silver market. A new position in a silver mining company is being recommended. Silvercorp Metals (NYSE: SVM) is a Canadian company with Chinese joint venture partners.

"The mine is located in China so this is an exposure to foreign exchange as well as metal prices. The mining operations produce lead/zinc/silver. The great thing about this mining operation is silver is produced for free.

"Actually, after subtracting credits for lead/zinc sales, 1.2 million ounces of silver was produced last quarter for a negative $6 an ounce. The company just turned profitable so expect share prices to move higher with silver prices."[/b'
