VANCOUVER, BC, July 13, 2022 /CNW/ – New Pacific Metals Corp. (“New Pacific” or the “Company”) (TSX: NUAG) (NYSE: NEWP), in collaboration with its local Bolivian partner, announces the effects of the analyses of the first five drilling wells of the 2022 drilling program on the Carangas Silver-Gold project, Department of Oruro, Bolivia (the “Carangas Project” or the “Project”). The effects are summarized in Table 1 and the drilling specifications are found in Table 2 (see also Figure 1).
So far, 16,754 meters (“m”) were completed in 31 holes in Carangas in 2022, the research effects of which of the first five holes are published here. The research effects of the remaining 26 holes are pending with an estimated response time. time up to 10 weeks after delivery of the pattern. The effects of the research continue to show near-surface silver horizons stacking in a giant bulk gold mineralization below.
Currently, five drillers are deployed in the project, of which the 3 largest drills have a capacity of 1000 m deep in near-surface silver domains and deeper gold domains, while the other two smaller drillers are close to the surface. Silver domain only.

Remarks:
1.
The location of the well, altitude, azimuth and diving of the drilling wells are found in Table 2.
2.
The interception of the perforation is the duration of the core and the grade is weighted according to the duration. The actual thickness of the mineralization is unknown due to the initial level of exploration without sufficiently good drilling data.
3.
The calculation of the silver equivalent (“AgEq”) is based on the long-term median of the August 2021 street consensus commodity value forecasts, which are $22. 50/oz for Ag, $0. 95/lb for Pb, $1. 10/lb for Zn, $3. 40/lb for Cu and $1,600/oz for Au. The formula used for the calculation of AgEq is as follows: AgEq = Ag g/t Pb g/t * 0. 0029 Zn g/t * 0. 00335 Cu g/t * 0. 01036 Au g/t * 71. 1111. This calculation assumes a recovery of one hundred percent. Due to the initial level of the Project, the Company has not yet completed the metallurgical test paints on the mineralization found to date.
4.
A limit of 20 g/t AgEq is implemented for the calculation of the length-weighted intersection. Sometimes, samples below 20 g/t AgEq may be included in the calculation of mineralized intersection consolidation.
5.
n/a that no gold pyroanalysis has been performed.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL
All patterns related to the Carangas Project exploration program, conducted through the Company and discussed in this press release, are shipped in securely sealed bags via the New Pacific workforce in Company vehicles, directly from the field. to ALS Global in Oruro, Bolivia for preparation and ALS Global in Lima, Peru for geochemical investigation. ALS Global is an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory independent of New Pacific. All standards are first analyzed through a multi-element ICP suite (ALS code ME-MS41) with ore content above specified limits for silver, lead and zinc further analyzed using ALS code OG46. Other silver standards that exceed specified limits are analyzed by gravimetric investigation (ALS code of GRA21). Gold is analyzed first via the ICP approach and then via the AAS-end stack assay (ALS code of Au-AA25). Certified reference materials, various types of blank patterns and duplicate patterns are inserted into the general drill core pattern sequences before being sent to the laboratory for preparation and investigation. The overall ratio of quality patterns to pattern sequences is about twenty percent.
