Latin Metals Inc. (
“Latin Metals”
or the
“Company”) -
(TSXV: LMS)
(OTCQB: LMSQF) a leading mineral exploration
company in South America, announces that it has received positive
results from rock sampling completed at the 100%-owned Tillo Copper
Project (“
Tillo” or the
“
Project”) in Peru. The project is prospective for
copper porphyry deposits, as demonstrated by previous soil and
talus sampling which delineated an anomalous area of 2,500m x
1,000m (previous news release, January 30, 2023). Positive results
from 140 rock samples add a great deal of confidence in this
priority area.
Tillo Project
Highlights
- Priority Geochemical
Target: Soil and talus sampling completed earlier this
year defined an area of 2.5km by 1.0km area of consistent
geochemical anomalism.
- Rock Sampling
Support: Results of rock sampling within the anomalous
area provide good support for the target (Figure
1). Of 140 samples collected, 24 samples (17%) grade more
than 0.2% copper, with a maximum grade of 5.9% copper and 421 ppm
molybdenum.
- The Right Rocks:
Mapping has delineated a quartz monzonite porphyry rock unit with
potassic alteration and multiple generations of veining
(Figure 2).
- Planned
Exploration: Detailed mapping will continue within the
anomalous area to outline vein density and vector towards potential
centers of mineralization. A hyperspectral study will be carried
out and used to help prioritize targets within the extensive
geochemical anomaly.
“Latin Metals’ strategy to acquire grassroots
properties by staking continues to pay off as we continue to
delineate areas of significant copper mineralization at surface.
Since first staking projects in Peru, the Company has successfully
delineated copper mineralization at Lacsha, which is now fully
drill permitted and ready for drill testing. At the Auquis project,
porphyry-style and skarn mineralization has been delineated with
exploration and drill permitting ongoing. With these two successes
in hand, it is great that we now have a third copper project on
which to focus,” stated Keith Henderson, Latin Metals’ CEO. “At
Tillo we are encouraged by the extent of geochemical anomalies, by
copper mineralization in rocks, by the identification of intrusive
rocks with multiple generations of veining, and by the potential to
generate quality drill targets; all of which features should be
attractive to potential future exploration partners."

About Latin
Metals
Latin Metals is a
mineral exploration company focused on acquiring a diversified
portfolio of assets in South America. Operating under a Prospect
Generator model, the Company aims to acquire exploration properties
at a minimal cost, conduct cost-effective exploration to establish
drill targets, and secure joint venture partners for funding
advanced exploration. Shareholders benefit from exposure to the
upside potential of significant discoveries without the dilution
associated with funding high-risk drill-based exploration.
QA/QC
The work program at Tillo 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. Rock chip samples were collected
in a radius of 1m average, sample location was recorded, and the
sample was security sealed and shipped to the Bureau Veritas
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.
