New Pacific Metals Corp.
New Pacific Metals is advancing two wholly-owned precious-metal projects in Bolivia. The flagship Silver Sand deposit has the potential to become one of the world's largest silver mines, targeting roughly 12 million ounces of annual silver production, while the Carangas project adds a high-margin silver-lead-zinc profile with over 1 million ounces of gold potential at depth. Both projects are currently focused on advancing permitting toward construction, with Silvercorp Metals and Pan American Silver among the company's largest shareholders.

Milestones are recorded only from a company's own dated disclosure. A milestone with no date shown is one we can confirm was reached but for which no date was disclosed — we don't estimate one. "Not yet reached" means exactly that, not that a date is missing. An "Expected" line likewise only ever reflects the company's own guidance (e.g. a study or permit decision targeted for a stated quarter) — most not-yet-reached milestones have none, and that absence means no such guidance has been disclosed, not that one is overdue.
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.
