VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – October 28, 2013: New Pacific Metals Corp. (“New Pacific” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of the 2013 diamond drilling program at the RZY silver-lead-zinc exploration project (the “Project”) in Qinghai province, China.   

The 2013 Project drilling, which was successfully completed on October 20, 2013 was designed to test the size and nature of the silver-lead-zinc mineralized structure and to confirm the assay results of historical trenching and drilling by previous owners. A total of 5,481.48 meters of drilling in 20 holes, (including 86.3m in an abandoned hole) by four drill rigs was completed. These holes were drilled in a 100 meter by 200 meter grid and cover approximately 2,000 metres in length along the main mineralized structure that extends nearly east-west.  Mineralization zones of various widths were intercepted by the drill holes and mineralization is featured by massive and disseminated sulfides of galena-sphalerite-pyrite in altered sandstone and dacitic dykes within and near the sheared structures developed in Permian marine turbiditic clastic sediments.  The Company’s geological crew is working to complete the core logging and cutting.  The core samples will be shipped to the preparation lab of SGS at Xi’an for preparation.  Pulp samples will be then shipped to SGS laboratory located in Tianjin for assay. Assay results will be released once available.

Alex Zhang, P.Geo., is the Qualified Person on the project as defined under National Instrument 43-101. He has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this news release.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – April 29, 2013: New Pacific Metals Corp. (“New Pacific” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company plans to commence its 2013 exploration program (the “Program”) at the recently acquired RZY Project (“RZY” or the “Project”) in June 2013 as previously disclosed in the Company’s news release dated April 8, 2013.

In 2013, the Company plans to conduct 10,000 metres of surface diamond drilling to test the extent of the known mineralized zones and to develop a better understanding of the nature of the mineralization.  Historical assay results of trench, pit sampling and limited drilling indicated the presence of high grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization at RZY.  Multiple silver-lead-zinc mineralized zones are hosted in a broad altered structure zone with a strike extent of 6.5 kilometres and width of 25 to 100 metres.  The Program also includes the completion of a surface grid soil survey and a geophysics survey to define future drill targets.  The budget for the Program is $3 million.  The Company is currently sourcing drilling equipment and preparing other resources necessary to execute the program.

In 2012, seven trenches were completed by RZY’s previous owner and assay results from the trenches confirmed the presence of high grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization as indicated by the historical results (see the Company’s news release dated December 21, 2012).  To test the potential depth of the mineralization exposed by surface workings, over 890 metres in five drill holes was drilled in 2012.  The assay results of the drill core samples indicated that the mineralization occurs in the major east-west structural zones and continues at depth, although the width and grades of the drill intercepts were inferior to the results of the surface trenches and pits.  Nevertheless, New Pacific believes there is enough evidence to justify continued exploration at the Project in 2013.

RZY is an early stage silver-lead-zinc exploration project in Qinghai Province, China, situated on a high plateau with an average elevation of 5,000 metres above sea level.  The Project is located approximately 237 kilometres via paved and gravel roads from the capital city of Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, or 820 kilometres via paved highway from Qinghai Province’s capital city of Xining.  For further information about the project, please see the Company’s news release dated December 21, 2012.

Alex Zhang, P.Geo., is the Qualified Person on the project as defined under National Instrument 43-101. He has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – March 11, 2013: New Pacific Metals Corp. (“New Pacific” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company’s subsidiary, Tagish Lake Gold Corp.’s (“Tagish Lake”) plea bargain in regards to three safety violations was accepted by the courts on March 4, 2013 in Whitehorse, Yukon and that Tagish Lake will pay a total fine of $24,150 (“Fine”).  All remaining charges were stayed.

While the Company and Tagish Lake are pleased to have the Fine resolved, Tagish Lake is still proceeding with litigation against its former general manager Mark Greasley, as set out in the notice of claim filed in Vancouver court on May 28, 2012 (“Notice of Claim”).  Mr. Greasley represented to Tagish Lake that he was a Professional Engineer in several provinces and territories and had many years project management experience; these representations were entirely fraudulent.  Mr. Greasley was never a Professional Engineer at any time or place.

Tagish Lake is suing Mark Greasley for damages of $1 million stemming from Mr. Greasley’s theft of Tagish Lake property, safety violations, fraudulent misrepresentation, and breach of contract, amongst other issues.  To date neither Tagish Lake nor the Company has been able to find Mark Greasley and Mark Greasley has not responded to the Notice of Claim.
