LATIN METALS REPORTS HIGH-GRADE GOLD RESULTS AT LA FLORA

Latin Metals Inc. has released high-grade surface sampling results from the partner-financed La Flora project in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. Exploration completed by Daura Gold Corp. returned assays of up to 63.88 grams per tonne gold and up to 175.34 g/t silver, further validating La Flora as a priority drill target within the broader Cerro Bayo-La Flora district.

The results confirm high-grade epithermal mineralization within the one-kilometre-long La Flora vein system and support the advancement of the target toward initial drilling as part of Daura's planned phase II exploration program. La Flora forms part of a growing pipeline of targets being advanced across the Cerro Bayo-La Flora district under Latin Metals' prospect generator model.

Highlights include:

• Surface sample grading up to 63.88 g/t gold and 175.34 g/t silver;
• Additional samples grading:
  • 6.17 g/t gold and 9.29 g/t silver;
  • 4.77 g/t gold and 7.87 g/t silver;
  • 4.72 g/t gold and 9.80 g/t silver;
  • 3.26 g/t gold and 41.69 g/t silver.
• Four mineralized veins identified within a 100-metre-wide vein array traced over 380 metres of strike;
• Vein array forms part of the approximately one-kilometre-long La Flora vein system;
• Gold mineralization associated with arsenic, antimony and mercury, consistent with productive low-sulphidation epithermal systems in the Deseado massif;
• Drill permit applications submitted in advance of planned phase II drilling.

Mark Sumner, Daura's chief executive officer, commented:

"Surface sampling at La Flora has delivered some very high-grade results in the past, so we're encouraged to see more high-grade samples, including visible gold, as we track these veins and refine our drill targeting for this exciting target. The La Flora vein system can be traced for over one kilometre and, within our current tenement position, comprises four veins within an approximately 100-metre-wide corridor. With high grades and visible gold at surface, it represents a compelling target for our planned phase II drill campaign."

Keith Henderson, Latin Metals' president and chief executive officer, commented:

"These results continue to demonstrate the exploration potential of the broader Cerro Bayo-La Flora district and validate the targeting work completed by Latin Metals. What is particularly encouraging is that high-grade mineralization has now been confirmed within a substantial vein system that remains untested by drilling.

"Beyond the high-grade results themselves, the work is demonstrating that La Flora is part of a much larger mineralized system. The combination of visible gold, bonanza-grade surface samples, extensive strike length and newly identified structural targets reinforces our view that the district has the potential to generate multiple discoveries. Importantly, all of this work is being funded by our partner, allowing Latin Metals shareholders to maintain exposure to exploration success while minimizing dilution."

Exploration details

The sampling program was designed to confirm the grade and continuity of previously identified gold-silver mineralization and refine drill targets ahead of planned drilling.

Results confirmed high-grade mineralization within the La Flora vein system, including samples grading up to 63.88 g/t gold and 175.34 g/t silver. Mineralization occurs within a four-vein array approximately 100 metres wide and traced over 380 metres of strike length within the current tenement position. The vein array forms part of the broader La Flora vein system, which can be traced for approximately one kilometre at surface.

Visible gold has been identified within silica-rich vein material, while elevated arsenic, antimony and mercury values indicate a geochemical signature characteristic of productive low-sulphidation epithermal systems throughout the Deseado massif. Together, these features support the interpretation that La Flora represents a fertile hydrothermal system with potential for additional high-grade mineralization along strike and at depth.

Daura has also completed preliminary satellite lineament mapping across the broader licence area. Numerous structural features exhibiting similarities to the La Flora vein system have been identified and will be evaluated through future geological, geochemical and geophysical programs. The work highlights the potential for additional epithermal targets elsewhere on the property and further expands the district-scale opportunity at Cerro Bayo-La Flora.

Next steps

Daura is planning a phase II drill program in Q3 2026, expanding exploration across both Cerro Bayo and La Flora. At Cerro Bayo, phase II will focus on follow-up drilling, including stepout and extension holes designed to test continuity and further define zones identified during phase I as well as testing additional targets which have not been drilled to date. At La Flora, the program will include initial drill testing of this emerging high-grade target.

La Flora is a recently defined high-priority, high-grade target, following Latin Metals' identification of visible gold and high-grade epithermal mineralization at surface (news release Feb. 4, 2025). Previous surface sampling returned grades of up to 82 g/t gold and 1,239 g/t silver. Visible gold occurs within silica-rich vein material, consistent with high-grade epithermal systems. These structures are partially concealed beneath shallow overburden, suggesting potential for mineralization extending along strike and at depth.

Cerro Bayo is fully permitted for drilling, allowing for continued advancement of follow-up work. At La Flora, drill permitting is in progress and is expected to be completed in due course, enabling initial drilling as part of the phase II program. At La Flora, phase II is expected to include the first drill testing of the La Flora vein system, representing an important milestone in the advancement of a target that has now returned multiple high-grade surface samples, visible gold and strong geological indicators consistent with productive epithermal systems.

Agreement with Daura

Under the terms of the option agreement, Daura may earn up to a 75-per-cent interest in the project (80 per cent with a top-up right) by completing staged exploration, including aggregate payments of $1.7-million (U.S.) to Latin Metals ($300,000 (U.S.) paid), aggregate payments of $400,000 (U.S.) to the underlying vendor ($250,000 (U.S.) paid), completion of exploration work commitments including 28,000 metres of drilling (1,850 metres completed) and the preparation of a National Instrument 43-101 technical report containing a mineral resource estimate.

District-scale opportunity -- Cerro Bayo and La Flora

The Cerro Bayo and La Flora projects are located within the Deseado massif, one of the world's most prolific precious metals districts. Since 1990, the district has produced and defined more than 600 million ounces of silver and 20 million ounces of gold.

At Cerro Bayo, exploration has outlined an eight-kilometre-wide structural corridor hosting multiple low-sulphidation epithermal vein targets. Phase I drilling represents the first step in systematically testing this broader mineralized system, with phase II expected to advance the most prospective zones. At La Flora, exploration has now confirmed a high-grade epithermal vein system extending for approximately one kilometre and containing multiple mineralized structures. Recent sampling, visible gold occurrences and satellite lineament mapping collectively suggest the potential for additional mineralized centres throughout the broader project area. Together with the encouraging drill results from Cerro Bayo, the emerging La Flora target demonstrates the potential for multiple discoveries within the district.

The style of mineralization intersected is characteristic of low-sulphidation epithermal systems found throughout the Deseado massif, a prolific precious metals district hosting multiple producing mines including Cerro Negro, San Jose and Cerro Vanguardia.

Technical information and quality control/quality assurance

Grab samples were collected by the company's geologists and the individual samples, bagged, sealed and placed into sealed dispatch bags under the direct supervision of the company's staff before being dispatched to Alex Stewart International Argentina S.A., Perito Moreno, Santa Cruz, Argentina, an arm's-length laboratory, for preparation and analysis. The entire sample was dried and crushed to 75 per cent passing two millimetres, with splits pulverized to 95 per cent passing 106 micrometres.

Gold was analyzed by 30-gram charge fire assay, with an atomic adsorption finish and over-range samples were subsequently determined by appropriate single element analyses, in accordance with Alex Stewart's standard procedures.

The internal quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program included the submission of 10-per-cent quality control materials including field duplicates, blanks and certified reference material (CRM) standards. Coarse rejects and pulps are retained in secure storage for future verification or testing as required. QA/QC results were reviewed by Geodex Consultants Ltd., a third party independent consultancy, and were found to be within acceptable limits before being uploaded into Datashed by Geomax Ltd., an independent arm's-length database manager. Readers are cautioned that grab samples are selective by nature and not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the project. There has been insufficient exploration to define a current mineral resource at La Flora and the company cautions that there is a risk further exploration will not result in the delineation of a current mineral resource.
