VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – September 15, 2016: New Pacific Holdings Corp. (“New Pacific” or the “Company”) today announced its audited consolidated financial results for the year ended June 30, 2016. 

This earnings release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Management Discussion & Analysis, Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements for the corresponding period, which have been posted on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and are also available on the Company’s website at www.newpacificholdings.ca.  All figures are expressed in Canadian Dollars (CAD) unless otherwise stated.

FISCAL YEAR 2016 HIGHLIGHTS

• Successfully changed the Company from a mining issuer to an investment issuer;

• Moved listing from TSX to TSX Venture; and

• Adjusted net income attributable to equity holders of $3.04 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to adjusted net income attributable to equity holders of $1.92 million, or $0.03 per share in the prior year.

FISCAL 2016 vs. FISCAL 2015

For the year ended June 30, 2016 (“Fiscal 2016”), net loss attributable to equity holders was $118,167 or $0.00 per share compared to net income of $1,739,248 or $0.03 per share for the year ended June 30, 2015 (“Fiscal 2015”).  Excluding non-cash impairment loss of mineral property interests, adjusted net income attributable to equity holders was $3,039,114 or $0.05 per share in Fiscal 2016 compared to $1,915,149 or $0.03 per share in Fiscal 2015.

In Fiscal 2016, the Company’s financial results were significantly improved as a result of the transition in the company’s business away from mining.  Major items impacting financial performance are as follows:

1. Income from investments in Fiscal 2016 was $3,098,622, an increase of 1,431%, compared to $202,375 in Fiscal 2015. This increase was a direct result of the Company’s business transition from exploration and development on mineral properties to investing in publicly-traded or privately-held corporations and other marketable instruments such as bonds. Within the investments income, $2,498,453 was unrealized gain on the Company’s investment in Silvercorp Metals Inc. (TSX: SVM) shares and $577,538 was from fair value change and interest earned on bonds.

3. Operating expenses in Fiscal 2016 was $1,029,722, a decrease of 30%, compared to $1,466,422 in Fiscal 2015. The noticeable decrease in operating expense was also a result of the Company’s business transition. The reduced care and maintenance activities at the mine sites had a big impact on reducing operating expenses as certain senior management positions had their salaries reduced and mine site employees were laid off.

5. Foreign exchange gain in Fiscal 2016 was $864,648, down 72%, compared to $3,129,372 in Fiscal 2015. The Company holds a large portion of cash and cash equivalents and bonds in US dollars while the Company’s functional currency is Canadian dollar, the fluctuation in exchange rates between the US dollar and Canadian dollar will impact the financial results of the Company. In Fiscal 2016, US dollar appreciated by 4.3% against Canadian dollar (from 1.2474 to 1.3009) while in Fiscal 2015 US dollar appreciated by 14.4% against Canadian dollar (from 1.0676 to 1.2474). The slowdown of US dollar appreciation against Canadian dollar in Fiscal 2016 was the reason of the lower amount of foreign exchange gains.

As at June 30, 2016, the Company had working capital of $21,816,903 (June 30, 2015 – $22,364,687), comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $5,267,066 (June 30, 2015 – $14,851,828), bonds of $17,201,630 (June 30, 2015 -$8,826,997) and other current assets of $138,547 (June 30, 2015 – $129,260) offset by current liabilities of $790,340 (June 30, 2015 – $1,443,398).  Management believes that the Company has sufficient funds to support its normal investing and operating requirement on an ongoing basis.

FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL SUMMARY

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company reported net loss attributable to equity holders of $1.76 million or $0.03 per share, compared to net loss of $0.8 million or $0.01 per share in the same prior year period.  Excluding the non-cash impairment loss on mineral property interests, adjusted net income attributable to equity holders for Q4 Fiscal 2016 was $1.4 million or $0.02 per share compared to adjusted net loss of $0.6 million or $0.01 per share for Q4 Fiscal 2015.  

Investment income in Q4 Fiscal 2016 consists of $1.24 million unrealized gain on equity investments and $0.28 million from fair value change and interest earned on bonds.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – June 13, 2016: New Pacific Metals Corp. (“New Pacific” or the “Company”) announces that it has applied to voluntarily delist its common shares (the “Common Shares”) from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and has received conditional approval to list the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”).  It is expected that the Common Shares will be delisted from the TSX on or about June 30, 2016, and listed on the TSX-V on or about the same date. 

At the Annual General and Special Meeting of the shareholders held on November 13, 2015, the shareholders of the Company passed as a special resolution authorizing and approving a change of the Company’s business from a mining issuer engaged in mineral exploration to an investment issuer engaged in investing in privately held and publicly traded corporations, and authorized a change of name (the “2015 AGM”).  The changes were subject to board of director approval, and any necessary regulatory approvals. 

As the Company’s asset base is not sufficiently large to qualify as an Investment Issuer on the TSX the Company has applied for, and received, conditional approval to be listed as a Tier 2 Investment Issuer on the TSX-V.  As such, effective on the date of the listing on the TSX-V the Company’s change of business, approved by the shareholders at the 2015 AGM, will become effective.

PLANNED CHANGE OF NAME

Following the Company’s delisting from the TSX, the Company will have a change of business, from a mining issuer to an investment issuer.  To reflect this change the Company will change its name to New Pacific Holdings Corp.  It is expected that the ticker symbol will remain unchanged.  The change will take effect at the time of listing on the TSX-V.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – October 29, 2015: NEW PACIFIC METALS CORP. (“New Pacific” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it will hold its annual general and special general meeting of its shareholders on November 13, 2015, (the “AGM”).

In light of the poor current state of the mineral exploration business and the depressed prices of silver and gold, and given the expertise and skill sets of the members of the board and management of the Company, the Company believes that the ideal allocation of the Company’s working capital would be within the framework of an investment company making investments in privately held and publicly traded corporations.  For those reasons, management and the board have proposed that the Company undergo a change of business from a mining issuer, listed on the TSX to an investment issuer (the “Change of Business”). The Change of Business is subject to TSX approval and likely other stock exchange approvals if the Company does not meet TSX listing requirements after the Change of Business.

To better reflect the Company’s proposed Change of Business, management has proposed a change of name of the Company to “New Pacific Investment Corp.” or such other name as the Board may determine is appropriate (the “Name Change”).  

As such, at the AGM the Company will be asking its shareholders to approve the following:

1. to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution (the full text of which is reproduced in the management information circular mailed to the Company shareholders) authorizing and approving a change of the Company’s business from a mining issuer engaged in mineral exploration to an investment issuer engaged in investing in privately held and publicly traded corporations;

2. to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution (the full text of which is reproduced in the management information circular mailed to the Company shareholders) authorizing and approving an amendment to the articles of the Company to change the name of New Pacific Metals Corp. to “New Pacific Investment Corp.”, or another available name;

3. to receive the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2015, together with the report of the auditor thereon;

4. to fix the number of directors at five (5);

5. to elect directors for the ensuing year; and

6. to re-appoint Deloitte LLP, Chartered Accountants, as auditor for the Company for the ensuing year and to authorize the directors to fix the auditor’s remuneration.

The AGM will be held at Suite 1378-200 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1S4 on Friday, November 13, 2015 at the hour of 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time).
