Latin Metals Inc. (TSXV: LMS, OTCQB: LMSQF) has announced the discovery of two new mineralized zones at its Auquis Project in Peru, indicating high-grade copper and base metal potential. The Tinto Zone shows copper grades of 1.8% and silver at 54 g/t, while the Blanco Zone returned up to 9.3% zinc and 6.1% lead. These findings point to a large hydrothermal system with both porphyry and skarn deposits. The company is currently awaiting results from a ground magnetic survey to further refine exploration efforts. Latin Metals holds six entirely owned copper properties within the Coastal Copper Belt, with plans for continued exploration in 2023.
Latin Metals Inc. (TSXV: LMS, OTCQB: LMSQF) has submitted a drill permit application for up to 11,900 meters, covering potential targets at the Organullo, Ana Maria, and Trigal Gold projects. This comes as AngloGold Argentina Exploraciones S.A. has rapidly advanced exploration at Organullo, having identified drill-ready targets just weeks after signing an option agreement in mid-2022. The exploration plans include a 7,000-meter Phase 1 drilling program in 2023, contingent on permit approvals. The collaboration with AngloGold leverages their technical expertise, enhancing the project’s prospects.
Latin Metals Inc. has announced the sale of its El Quemado lithium project to South American Lithium Ltd. for $900,000 in total consideration.
