New Pacific Metals Corp. (TSX: NUAG) (NYSE American: NEWP) reported a net loss of $1.42 million, or $0.01 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 ended Sept. 30, 2026, compared with a net loss of $750,000, or $0.00 per share, in the prior-year period. The company, which is covered through a paid engagement with New Pacific Metals Corp., ended the quarter with working capital of $35.94 million.
The quarterly results included operating expenses of $1.44 million, investment income of $320,000 and a foreign exchange loss of $290,000. Capitalized project expenditures totaled approximately $1.37 million across the company's Silver Sand, Carangas and Silverstrike projects during the quarter.
Investors are likely to focus on the company's Carangas Silver-Gold Project in Bolivia, where its local partner signed 30-year administrative mining contracts covering approximately 39 square kilometers. The contracts are pending legislative ratification, a key step toward development. New Pacific holds a 98% economic interest in the project.
In August 2026, the company filed an updated preliminary economic assessment for Carangas outlining a post-tax net present value of $2.65 billion at a 5% discount rate, an internal rate of return of 35.9% and a projected 19-year mine life. The assessment estimates initial capital costs of $644.5 million and a post-tax payback period of 2.4 years, based on specified metal price assumptions.
The company's progress matters for investors because Carangas strengthens its portfolio through scale and robust economics, while its Silver Sand project in Potosí has the potential to become one of the world's largest silver mines. New Pacific says it has near a decade of operating experience in Bolivia. The latest news and updates relating to NEWP are available in the company's newsroom at http://ibn.fm/NEWP.
