Latin Metals Inc. (“Latin Metals”
or the
“Company”) - (TSXV: LMS) (OTCQB: LMSQF), a
leading mineral exploration company in South America, announces
significant progress in its Mirador project in Argentina with the
discovery of additional outcropping copper mineralization, where an
extensive drainage survey is underway to screen the entire
property. Initial prospecting at Mirador (previous news release
January 17, 2023) identified outcropping sediment-hosted copper
mineralization with one sample grading 2.4% copper. The discovery
served as critical proof of concept for Latin Metals.
The recent mapping of additional outcropping
copper mineralization builds upon this success, reinforcing the
validity of the company's exploration thesis. Exploration at
Mirador began last month and it is planned that the property will
be systematically covered by drainage sampling and prospecting. At
this early stage the Company's geologists have only walked over
approximately 10% of this very large property and so it is
encouraging to have already located additional outcropping copper
mineralization. (Figure 1)

discovered outcropping sediment-hosted copper mineralization at
Mirador. Yellow dashed lines indicate minimum stratigraphic
thickness of mineralization. Recent alluvial sediment obscures the
geological boundary.
In addition to the
advancements at Mirador, Latin Metals is pleased to report the
acquisition of a 100% interest in the Ventana copper project
(“Ventana” or the “Project”)
through an agreement with Dreston SRL (“DSRL”),
pursuant to which Latin Metals has purchased from DSRL (via an
indirect subsidiary of Latin Metals), a 100% interest in the
Project (Figure 2), for total cash consideration
of $1,000,000 Argentine pesos. Situated in Salta Province,
northwest Argentina, the Ventana project presents additional
prospects for the discovery of sediment-hosted copper
mineralization.
Together with the
Company's Mirador project and the recent acquisition of the Solario
project, this additional acquisition further solidifies Latin
Metals' position as first mover in this emerging copper belt.

Solario Projects.
Ventana Project Highlights:
- Ventana Acquisition: Latin Metals now fully
controls the Ventana project, encompassing an extensive 176,000
hectares in Salta.
- Exploration Potential: The Ventana project is
favorably situated in the Cretaceous belt in central Salta, which
the Company believes has potential for sediment-hosted copper
deposits.
- Untapped Region: Latin Metals' foresight has
identified considerable exploration potential in the underexplored
rift area of central Salta. The region shares geological
characteristics with global sediment-hosted copper deposits, yet it
remains underexplored.
Future Work
As part of its forward-looking strategy, Latin
Metals intends to initiate a large-scale regional stream sediment
sampling program across its Mirador, Solario, and Ventana copper
exploration projects. With one field team already operational,
Latin Metals plans to deploy additional teams to expedite the
initial screening of these three properties over the ensuing six
months. This comprehensive geochemical screening is expected to
highlight the most promising areas for further exploration.
About Latin
Metals
Latin Metals is a
mineral exploration company acquiring a diversified portfolio of
assets in South America. The Company operates with a Prospect
Generator model focusing on the acquisition of prospective
exploration properties at minimum cost, completing initial
evaluation through cost-effective exploration to establish drill
targets, and ultimately securing joint venture partners to fund
drilling and advanced exploration. Shareholders gain exposure to
the upside of a significant discovery without the dilution
associated with funding the highest-risk drill-based
exploration.

The work program at Ventana was designed and
supervised by Eduardo Leon, the Company's Exploration Manager, who
will be responsible for all aspects of the work, including the
quality control/quality assurance of the following programs.
