Soaring Metal Prices Set to Fuel Rapid Growth in Mining Stocks

Disseminated on behalf of Nova Pacific Metals Corp.

Get ready for the ride of a lifetime. 

We’re in the thick of a major metals supercycle, with prices surging to record highs across the board. 

And according to experts, this is just the beginning. 

Sprott and other global heavyweights are eyeing even more unprecedented gains for gold, silver, copper, and zinc thanks to supply shortages, geopolitical unrest, and insatiable demand.¹

Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America are all calling for $3,000 gold by mid-2025.²

Silver has already hit $33 per ounce for the first time since 2012—and some are saying it could soar to a jaw-dropping $100 per ounce in what’s being hailed as the “greatest silver bull market of our generation.“³

The price of copper is up over 17% from the beginning of the year.⁴

And zinc is up over 15% since the start of 2024.⁵

The momentum shows no signs of slowing, as electric vehicles, data centers, and emerging markets drive demand through the roof.⁶

The numbers tell the story:

  • Investors have added about 2.3 million ounces of gold to their holdings since mid-May⁷
  • The silver market is expected to have its 2nd biggest deficit in over 2 decades this year
  • Copper demand is expected to grow by 1 million tons per year until 2035 (2x the volume over the last 15 years)⁹
  • The zinc oxide market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% to $9B+ by 2032 due to widespread demand from industrial and healthcare applications¹⁰

For multi-metal miners, this is an opportunity that has not existed since CV-19

A perfect example is Nova Pacific Metals Corp. (CSE:NVPC) (OTCQB:NVPCF)—a polymetallic powerhouse sitting on a treasure trove of  gold, silver, copper, and zinc in one of the world’s most coveted mining jurisdictions.

With low-cost, fast-track development plans, Nova Pacific is primed to ride this metals supercycle to new heights.

Rich Metal Deposit in a Tier 1 Mining Location

Nova Pacific Metals’ (CSE:NVPC) (OTCQB:NVPCF) holds a valuable key asset with its 4,567-acre Lara Project—a polymetallic VMS deposit that offers exposure to multiple high-demand metals.

Up to 60% of the deposit’s potential value is locked in precious metals like gold and silver, giving it a huge edge in today’s market.

VMS deposits are some of the richest metal sources in the world, contributing significantly to global production: 22% of zinc, 9.7% of lead, 6% of copper, 8.7% of silver, and 2.2% of gold come from these types of deposits, making the Lara Project a diversified source of metals.²⁴

Some of the most impressive results from the project include:

  • 24.58 g/t gold
  • 513.6 g/t silver
  • 3.04% copper
  • 43.01% zinc over 3.51 meters

These grades highlight the significant value of the mineral resources within this project. And this is just the beginning…²⁷

The Lara Project also shares geological similarities with the Myra Falls Mine, located approximately 90 miles (145 km) to the northwest, where roughly 40 million tons of polymetallic ore was mined.²⁸

As mentioned, Nova Pacific Metals Corp.’s (CSE:NVPC) (OTCQB:NVPCF) flagship project is strategically located in the Tier 1 mining-friendly jurisdiction of BC, Canada’s largest mining province²⁹ with $16.6B production value last year across multiple metals.³⁰

Key infrastructure surrounds the Lara Project, including:

  • All-year road access
  • BC Hydro power line cutting through the property
  • Nearby seaports with direct shipping routes to smelters worldwide
  • Skilled labor in nearby population centers³¹

Combined with the project’s strong community ties and supportive regulatory environment, Nova Pacific Metals Corp. (CSE:NVPC) (OTCQB:NVPCF) is positioned for de-risked, low-cost, rapid brownfield development and resource expansion.³²

The company’s newly updated NI 43-101 technical report highlights that there’s still a lot of untapped potential for further exploration at the Lara Project. 

Only one of the four mineralized zones, the Coronation Trend, has been significantly explored, and there’s strong evidence that deeper drilling and more exploration along this trend could discover even more mineralization. This suggests plenty of room for expansion.

The report’s recommended next steps were for Nova Pacific Metals Corp. (CSE:NVPC) (OTCQB:NVPCF) to drill 40 additional short holes, totaling 6,000 meters, in the Coronation Zone’s historical resource areas, for which the company has already requested the necessary permits. The intent is to confirm the historical mineral estimates as well as potentially expand the project’s existing resources.³³

Multi-Metal Mining Stocks Benefitting from Hot Metals Markets


Nova Pacific Metals Corp. (CSE:NVPC) (OTCQB:NVPCF) isn’t alone in tapping into Canada’s rich mineral resources and gaining support from multiple high metals prices.

Foran Mining has nine properties in Canada, including McIlvenna Bay, the largest undeveloped VMS deposit along the prolific Flin Flon Greenstone Belt in Saskatchewan. The project has Probable Mineral Reserves of 25.7 million tonnes (Mt) containing 697 million pounds of copper and 1.4 billion pounds of zinc.³⁴

Canadian mining exploration and development company Skeena Resources is revitalizing two past-producing mines in northwest BC. Their Eskay Creek project is a high-grade VMS gold-silver deposit with Proven and Probable Reserves of 4.6 million ounces (Moz) gold-equivalent (AuEq) at an average grade of 3.6 grams per ton (g/t) AuEq.³⁵

Hudbay Minerals is Canada’s 3rd-largest copper producer in Canada with operations in BC and Manitoba. Production from their gold-zinc-copper-silver Lalor mine in 2023 included 12,154 tonnes copper, 34,642 tonnes zinc, 187,363 ounces gold & DORÉ, and 851,723 ounces silver.³⁶

A closer comparison to Nova Pacific Metals Corp. (CSE:NVPC) (OTCQB:NVPCF) would be the junior exploration company Goliath Resources. Their high-grade polymetallic gold-silver discovery at the Golddigger property has been a game-changer³⁷, noting the result of 65,000 meters of drilling across just three seasons.³⁸

That means Goliath Resources has sunk less than a third of the drill holes than there are on Nova Pacific Metals’ (CSE:NVPC) (OTCQB:NVPCF) Lara Property…yet Goliath has a $124M market cap versus Nova Pacific’s ~$5M market cap. That shows the amount that Nova Pacific’s stock is currently undervalued based on level of project development.

Here’s how these multi-metal miners stack up against each other in today’s red-hot metals market:
