Latin Metals Discovers High-Grade Copper Mineralization at

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Latin Metals Inc. (“Latin Metals” or the “Company”) – (TSXV: LMS) (OTCQB: LMSQF) announces that it has zones of high values grade copper mineralization on the 2,000 hectare 100% owned Tillo Project in Peru’s Coastal Copper Belt. This is the first exploration to be completed on this new copper project and work by Latin Metals has commenced geochemical sampling of soil and talus fines for a total of 253 geochemical samples. Several zones of anomalous sampling have been outlined, including the largest zone measuring approximately 2,500m by 1,000m. Within this zone, copper values ​​range from 250 ppm to a peak of 1,050 ppm copper, with supporting molybdenum mineralization (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Location of the Tillo Copper Project (left) and soil/debris sampling results showing multiple anomalous zones and highlighting a 2,500 x 1,000 meter anomaly with a red dashed line.

The anomalies defined by soil and boulder sampling are supported by geological mapping and sampling that has identified copper mineralization in porphyry-style outcrops (Table 1).

Next Steps

A program of detailed rock chip sampling and geological mapping is expected to begin in Q1 and will focus on the areas of most anomalies defined by the initial sampling.

Coastal Copper Belt

The Coastal Copper Belt in Peru is a chalk belt that hosts a variety of deposit types including porphyry, epithermal, VMS and IOCG. Latin Metals owns a total of six 100% owned copper exploration properties in the Coastal Belt. The Company’s Lacsha copper-molybdenum project is drill ready and fully permitted for drilling. The Auquis copper-molybdenum-gold project is advanced and expected to be drill-ready in 2023. The Tillo property described herein is being explored for the first time.

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. B horizon soil samples were collected in 40cm x 40cm excavated pits with approximately 1.5kg to 2kg of sample material. In areas without suitable soil development, rubble samples were collected instead. Sample spacing on the property is 300 to 350 m. Onsite project personnel collect and rigorously trace samples which are then securely 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 accordance with industry standards.
