Latin Metals Inc. (
“Latin Metals”
or the
“Company”) -
(TSXV: LMS)
(OTCQB: LMSQF) announces the acquisition by
staking of an additional 400-hectare claim (the
“
Extension”), contiguous with its 100% owned
Auquis Project (“
Auquis” or the
“
Project”). The Extension is located south of the
Rose copper porphyry target area, which has potential to host an
extension of the Rose porphyry system. Potential to the south is
supported by anomalous soils geochemistry samples taken by the
Company prior to staking the property (Figure 1). Within the Rose
porphyry zone, early-stage soil samples have correlated well with
rock chip sampling anomalies over a 3km x 1.5km area.
Future exploration at Auquis is planned to
include additional sampling at the Rose zone as well as additional
work at the Blanco skarn target where skarn mineralization includes
anomalous rock samples up 9.3% zinc, 6.1% lead, 2.8% copper and
176g/t silver at surface.

The Company also announces that it has entered
into a loan agreement with a trust controlled by a director of the
Company (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the
Lender has agreed to provide an unsecured and non-interest-bearing
loan to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to USD
100,000 (the “July 2024 Loan”) repayable by the Company on demand.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the July 2024 Loan to
fund its resource properties option payment requirements and to
meet its short-term corporate and working capital needs. The
Company also announces that on April 28, 2024, it received an
unsecured and non-interest-bearing loan (the “April 2024 Loan”;
together with the July 2024 Loan, the “Loans”) in the principal
amount of USD 100,000 from the Lender. The April 2024 Loan was
repaid in May 2024. Neither of the Loans are convertible into
or repayable in securities of the Company, and no bonus is payable
to the Lender in connection with the Loans.
As the Lender is a
trust controlled by a director of the Company, each of the Loans
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
exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder
approval requirements, respectively, of MI 61-101, as, at the time
the loan agreements for the respective Loans were entered into by
the Company with the Lender, neither the fair market value of the
subject matter of, nor the fair market value of either of the Loans
exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

QA/QC
The work program at
Auquis was designed and supervised by Eduardo Leon, the Company's
Exploration Manager. He is responsible for all aspects of the work,
including the quality control/quality assurance program. On-site
personnel at the project rigorously collect and track samples which
are then security 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 compliance with industry standards.
Soil samples were
extracted from prospecting pits measuring 40cm x 40cm, where the
uppermost A horizon was removed to collect the underlying B
horizon. A total of 1.5 to 2.0 kg of B Horizon material was
collected at each sampling site, before the sampling pit was
reclaimed. A total of 10 samples were added to the previous grid of
200m north-south and 400m east-west orientation.
