New Pacific Metals Corp. (NYSE American: NEWP) (TSX: NUAG) is uncovering substantial silver opportunities in Bolivia, where centuries of mining history meet limited modern exploration. The Canadian mineral exploration company reports that less than 10% of Bolivia's silver-rich mineral belt has been explored using current high-tech techniques, leaving significant potential for new discoveries.
The company's flagship Silver Sand and Carangas projects, both discovered within the last five years, represent two of the world's largest undeveloped silver deposits. Economic studies completed in 2024 indicate these projects combined have the potential to produce approximately 18.5 million ounces of silver annually, exceeding the production levels of many established silver mining operations.
This development is significant for global silver markets, as new large-scale silver discoveries have become increasingly rare despite growing industrial demand. The potential production from these Bolivian projects could help address supply constraints in the silver market, which is crucial for various industries including electronics, solar energy, and medical applications.
New Pacific's progress in Bolivia highlights the ongoing importance of mineral exploration in regions with historical mining activity but limited modern assessment. The company's work demonstrates how advanced exploration techniques can reveal substantial mineral resources in areas previously considered mature or fully explored.
