Latin Metals Inc. (
“Latin Metals”
or the
“Company”) -
(TSXV: LMS)
OTCQB: LMSQF) announces that it has acquired
a 100% interest in three copper exploration projects totaling 5,000
hectares, located in the Coastal Copper Belt, Peru. The three
projects (Loli, Tillo, and Para) (the “
Projects”)
are located approximately 130km southwest of the Company’s Lacsha
copper project, where recent exploration has identified extensive
copper mineralization at surface and where the Company expects to
complete an IP survey in January 2022 (
Figure 1).
The Projects were acquired by staking following
completion of an extensive regional stream sediment survey,
screening approximately 480 km2. The areas were selected based on
consistent copper anomalies and geological similarities to the
Lacsha - Yanba projects area.

“We are delighted to further expand our
footprint in this new portion of Peru’s Coastal Copper Belt,”
stated Keith Henderson, President and CEO, “We continue to have
success using regional screening tools to identify areas that we
can acquire 100% through low-cost claim staking.”
Stream Sediment Survey
Details
The Company has completed a stream sediment
survey covering 480 km2 with 82 samples. With Copper values range
from 28 ppm to 297 ppm located on open ground, the 11 catchments
with the highest Copper values ranges from 138 -297ppm. Claims were
staked based on clusters of anomalous stream sediments at Loli,
Tillo and Para Projects.
Next Steps
Latin Metals is currently in discussions with
the local communities who hold the surface rights, following which
the Company expects to begin systematic surface exploration. As was
the case at Lacsha, a talus survey program will be the first pass
to identify the highest priority targets.
Coastal Copper Belt
The Coastal Copper Belt in Peru is a Cretaceous
belt hosting a variety of deposit types including Porphyry,
Epithermal, VMS and IOCG. Latin Metals’ 100%-owned Lacsha
copper-molybdenum, Yanba copper-molybdenum, and Auquis copper-gold
projects are all located in the northern Lima-Ica portion of the
coastal belt.
QA/QC
This stream sediment survey was 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. On-site personnel at the project
rigorously collect and track samples which are then security sealed
and shipped to the ALS laboratory in Lima. Samples used for the
results described herein are prepared and analyzed by multi-element
analysis using an inductively coupled mass spectrometer in
compliance with industry standards.
