LATIN METALS SIGNS COMMUNITY AGREEMENT AND INITIATES EXPLORATION AT THE JACHA PROJECT, SOUTHERN PERU
Latin Metals Inc. has signed an agreement with the community of Sahua Sahua located in Paruro, Cusco region. The agreement clears the path for exploration at the company's 100-per-cent-owned Jacha project. Latin Metals' staff have begun collecting soil and rock samples at this high-priority project.
Keith Henderson, chief executive officer, commented: "The Jacha project is located in the Andahuaylas-Yauri belt in southern Peru, an established porphyry/skarn mining district, host to the Las Bambas and Huaquira copper mines. Latin Metals acquired the project in 2020 and quickly set out a stakeholder engagement strategy with the objective of securing a community agreement. We determined that it was crucial to establish this agreement prior to commencing any work to ensure that our relationship with the community began on a positive note."
Planned work
A soil survey grid is in progress with samples being collected on a 200-metre by 200 m grid and the company is planning to cover at least 1,000 hectares with this phase 1 work. Each sample will be analyzed at Latin Metals' Lima office using a portable XRF (X-ray fluorescence) instrument to determinate the principal copper-zinc-lead anomalies and highest-grade samples will be shipped to a laboratory for ICP (inductively coupled plasma) analysis.
Sampling will be accompanied by detailed outcrop mapping and rock chip sampling.
Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)
The work program in Jacha will be designed and supervised by Eduardo Leon, the company's exploration manager, who is responsible for all aspects of the work, including the quality control/quality assurance program.
