Latin Metals Inc. (
“Latin Metals”
or the
“Company”) -
(TSXV: LMS)
(OTCQB: LMSQF) announces significant progress
at its Organullo Project (“
Organullo” or the
“
Project”) where an existing option agreement with
AngloGold Argentina Exploraciones S.A.
(“
AngloGold”), a wholly owned subsidiary of
AngloGold Ashanti plc. (NYSE: AU, JSE: ANG) provides AngloGold with
an option to earn up to an 80% interest in the Project. AngloGold
has completed an airborne geophysical survey collecting magnetic
and radiometric data over most of the Project area (
Figure
1).
“This extensive geophysical survey is a
significant step for the Organullo project. With the survey
complete, processing is in progress, and we look forward to seeing
the results of the survey in due course.” stated Keith Henderson,
Latin Metals’ CEO. “The data and interpretation will be integrated
with existing data collected by AngloGold to help finalize drill
targets. AngloGold Ashanti has submitted a drill permit for 11,900m
and plans to commence drilling once this permit and other licenses
are received.”

Airborne Survey Details
Airborne geophysical surveys allow the
collection of subsurface data using sensors and instruments mounted
on an aircraft. The primary goal is to obtain a better
understanding of the distribution of subsurface rock types and
mineralization prior to drill testing. The method can be expensive
due to the use of aircraft to collect the data, but it is efficient
compared to ground-based methods and almost completely
non-invasive, minimizing the impact on flora, fauna and local
communities.
The survey completed by AngloGold collected
magnetic and radiometric data along 3,500 line-km, covering most of
the Property in eleven days. Survey lines were flown on a 100m
spacing north-south and a 1,000m spacing east-west, at an average
flight height of 60m above ground.
