Lara VMS

The Lara Project is a near surface highly attractive Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) deposit strikingly similar to the prolific Myra Falls mine, located 145 km to the northwest. Nova Pacific aims to advance the project to the pre-feasibility stage utilizing both infill and confirmation drilling to upgrade historical resource calculations.

We are committed to responsible exploration and project development, including early engagement and collaborative decision making with all Indigenous communities.

In the late 1990s, the geological potential was projected to yield a multi-tonne deposit with similar grades to the Myra Falls Mine north of Lara deposit.

With Phase I exploration activities being planned for early 2025, we see real potential to increase the current resource estimate with a potentially higher grade. Given today’s metal prices, this could translate into a very attractive and highly valuable mineral deposit.

-J. Malcolm Bell,
Nova Pacific Metals' CEO

Canada is positioning itself as a global leader in the supply of responsibly sourced critical minerals for the green and digital economy. Through our work with the United States and other allies, we are developing secure critical minerals value chains that will power a prosperous and sustainable future.
