Latin Metals Inc. ("Latin Metals" or the "Company") -
(TSXV: LMS, OTCQB: LMSQF), a leading exploration
company focused on mineral discoveries, is pleased to announce
significant achievements under its ongoing investor-focused
strategy.
Financial
Highlights and Option Partner Funding
During the 2023
calendar year, Latin Metals has received non-dilutive investments
with a total value of $2,080,2201, with an additional $792,0002
scheduled to be received by the end of the year, for an anticipated
total of $2,872,220. The figures outlined here do not include
option partner-funded exploration expenditures.
"Our strategic collaborations with mining
industry leaders have brought significant investments this year
while ensuring minimal equity dilution," commented Keith Henderson,
the Company's CEO. "Our prospect generator business model offers a
unique proposition to investors, giving them the opportunity to
share in our successes without the typical equity dilution risks.
We're resolutely focused on unlocking the potential of our assets
and creating consistent, long-term value for our shareholders."
Mr. Henderson continued, "We're continuously
refining our business model to ensure that our investors experience
the potential upsides of mineral discoveries while minimising the
common share dilution risks. Through thoughtful execution, our goal
is to consistently amplify value and ensure sustainable
returns."
Upcoming Milestones and
Catalysts
Latin Metals' option partners have submitted
drill permit applications for three projects in Argentina.
Following receipt of permits, the initiation of drill programs will
mark key milestones as Latin Metals' partners explore the potential
of the Company's diversified portfolio.
Securing Future Steps and Minimizing
Dilution
To further the Company's objectives and maintain
a sound capital base, the Company has secured loans totalling
$600,000 (the "Loans"), subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture
Exchange. The Company places a high premium on minimizing
shareholder dilution, and its recent financing choices, including
the Loans, align with its mission to further its corporate goals
while safeguarding investor interests. The Loans have a one-year
term and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum compounded
annually, payable on the maturity date. The Company has agreed to
issue 6,000,000 non-transferable bonus common share purchase
warrants to the lenders, each of which warrants will entitle the
holder to purchase one common share of the Company for a period of
one year at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The funds
available to the Company under the Loans will be used by the
Company to pay outstanding liabilities and for general corporate
and working capital purposes. All securities issued pursuant to the
Loans will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day
in Canada from the date of issuance.
The lenders providing the Loans include five
arm's length parties, two current directors and an executive
officer of the Company (together, the directors and executive
officer are the "Related Parties"). The Loans from the Related
Parties constitute a related party transaction pursuant to
Multilateral Instrument 61 101 - Protection of Minority Security
Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is
relying on Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 for an
exemption from the formal valuation and minority shareholder
approval requirements, respectively, of MI 61-101, as, at the time
the loan agreements were entered into by the Company with the
Related Parties, neither the fair market value of the subject
matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the
Loans by the Related Parties exceeded 25% of the Company's market
capitalization.
