Latin Metals Inc. (“Latin Metals”
or the
“Company”) - (TSXV: LMS) (OTCQB: LMSQF), is
pleased to announce the expansion of its Technical Advisory Board
with the appointments of highly respected industry experts,
Fionnuala Devine and Mike Basha. Their addition, alongside current
advisor Dan MacNeil, brings a wealth of technical knowledge and
strategic insight that will significantly enhance the Company’s
ability to advance its portfolio of high-potential projects in
Argentina and Peru.
“From my first
introduction to Latin Metals, I’ve been thoroughly impressed by the
company’s extensive and well-positioned project portfolio in
Argentina and Peru, and how well Keith and his team are executing
the prospect generator model,” said Mr. Basha. “Having spent much
of my career exploring for epithermal precious metal deposits and
executing the prospect generator model, partly in Latin and South
America, I’m eager to leverage my experience to help accelerate
Latin Metals’ growth and further expand its footprint in these
resource-rich regions. The potential for discovery in Argentina and
Peru is beyond doubt, and I look forward to being a part of this
exciting journey.”
Ms. Devine added:
“Joining the technical advisory board is a great fit for me,
particularly given my deep experience with porphyry projects in
Argentina. The Esperanza copper-gold project stands out as a key
opportunity, especially with the recent option agreement with
Moxico Resources. I’m excited to see the exploration unfold, and I
believe this partnership could unlock significant value in the
coming months.”
The strengthening of
Latin Metals' Technical Advisory Board with these key appointments
reflects the Company’s commitment to unlocking value from its
extensive project portfolio and advancing its exploration efforts
in South America.
Fionnuala Devine
Ms. Devine is a mineral exploration professional
with 20 years of on-the-ground mineral exploration experience and
academic study of mineral deposits. Over the past decade, she has
been part of the team exploring the emerging Vicuña district in the
central Andes of Chile-Argentina, developing the first
comprehensive geologic map of the district and geological models
for several of the recently discovered porphyry deposits at Filo
del Sol, Josemaria and Los Helados. In 2024, the Vicuña exploration
team were the winner of the PDAC Thayer Lindsey Award, recognizing
the astonishing discoveries at Filo del Sol, Jose Maria and Los
Helados over the past 15 years.
She brings a broad understanding of
porphyry-epithermal systems, from regional to deposit scale, and a
knowledge of relevant exploration methods. She has applied her
skills and insight to exploration projects throughout the North
American Cordillera and the Andes. Over her career, she has
generated insightful mineral exploration compilations of many
porphyry and epithermal copper-gold systems in the Canadian
Cordillera, with a focus on combining new field observations and
cutting-edge research with historical work.

Mr. Basha is a professional engineer and
geologist with over 35 years of experience working for major and
junior exploration and mining companies in Canada, the USA, Mexico,
Ecuador, and Finland. He has generated and worked on many
grassroots to advanced exploration projects for a variety of

Early in his career, he was co-discoverer of the
Hammerdown gold deposit in Newfoundland. As VP of Exploration

Prospect adjacent to Rupert Resources Ikkari Gold deposit. Mr.
Basha staked the core of Aurion’s holdings in Finland, and under
Mr. Basha’s direction, Aurion exploration teams made multiple
