LATIN METALS SEEKING PARTNERS FOR CERRO BAYO GOLD-SILVER PROJECT IN ARGENTINA AND LACSHA COPPER PROJECT, PERU

Latin Metals Inc. has provided details of projects in Argentina and Peru, for which it is seeking partners to enter into option agreements. Latin Metals holds a diversified portfolio of mineral exploration assets in South America. The company operates with a prospect generator model whereby partners are secured under option agreements to finance drilling and advanced exploration. The company has several projects which are drill-ready and for which partners are being sought.

Cerro Bayo gold-silver project, Argentina

The Cerro Bayo gold-silver property is a drill-ready exploration property located in the prolific Deseado massif, Santa Cruz province, Argentina, where exploration since 1990 has resulted in the discovery of nearly 600 million ounces of silver and around 20 million ounces of gold.

Latin Metals' Cerro Bayo property is a 28,000-hectare, drill-ready project where eight drill target areas have been defined within a six-kilometre-wide transtensional basin. Exploration completed to date includes property-wide geological mapping, alteration mapping, magnetic survey, structural modelling, and sampling of mineralized veins and breccia bodies. Drill permitting is in progress and expected to be completed in due course. Agreements with holders of surface rights are in place across the entire property.

A presentation summarizing the project and exploration to date can be downloaded, and the company welcomes expressions of interest.

Pursuant to an earn-in agreement entered into by the company with a wholly owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corp. (see news release dated Feb. 7, 2022), whereby Latin Metals granted to Barrick the option to earn an up-to-85-per-cent interest in the property, Barrick has provided notice to Latin Metals of its intention to relinquish the option and terminate the agreement, effective Jan. 25, 2024. Since entering into the agreement, Barrick has paid $513,000 to the underlying owner of the property and $259,000 to Latin Metals, and incurred exploration expenditures of $1,848,000 on the property, for a total investment of $2.62-million.

Latin Metals is considering several strategic options, including entering into an earn-in agreement with another party.

Lacsha copper project, Peru

The 100-per-cent-owned Lacsha copper project is located in the coastal porphyry belt in Peru, which hosts multiple copper-moly and copper-gold-moly porphyry deposits. Latin Metals has completed extensive exploration over the past two years and secured a four-year community agreement to allow exploration and drilling. The project is now drill ready and drill permitted.
