Latin Metals Reports New Surface Copper Mineralization at Lacsha, Peru

TSXV: LMS) OTCQB: LMSQF) is pleased to announce rock chip channel sampling results defining a new zone of copper mineralization at the Lacsha project (" Lacsha " or the " Project ") and initiation of an Induced Polarization (" IP ") geophysical survey.

Rock Chip Sampling

Continuous rock chip channel sampling results show consistent values in copper and molybdenum, including 52m grading 0.38% copper and 237ppm molybdenum, with copper values ranging from 460 ppm copper to 45,200 ppm (4.52%) copper (Figure 1).

and selected composite rock chip intercepts.

These results are in addition to assays reported previously in Lacsha South and Lacsha North target areas, where similar mineralization was identified ( previous news release, September 14, 2021 ), including 30m grading 0.22% copper and 76ppm molybdenum in Lacsha South and 72m grading 0.20% copper and 62ppm molybdenum in Lacsha North (Table 1).

Table 1: Comparison of Rock Chip Channel Sample Grades at Lacsha Target Areas

Target Area Highlights Composite Grades
(0.20% copper or greater)
Grade Range
(%)
Lacsha North 72m @ 0.20% copper, 62ppm moly;
incl. 46m@0.25% copper, 81ppm moly
0.07% - 0.68%
Lacsha South 30m @0.22% copper, 76ppm moly;
and 26m @ 0.20% copper, 119ppm moly
0.04% - 4.10%
Lacsha South-West 136m @ 0.24% copper, 179ppm moly;
incl. 52m @ 0.38% Copper, 237ppm moly
0.05% - 4.52%

These copper-molybdenum values are interpreted as indicating a leached zone typically found in arid environments related to porphyry deposits. Individual samples were taken at 2 m intervals. True thickness is not possible to determine from the current level of available data, but sample orientation is designed to be as representative as possible.

Induced Polarization Survey

Latin Metals is currently undertaking a geophysical IP survey, which will be completed over the Lacsha project. This survey will help us to define drill targets for permitting. The survey is planned to cover all targets generated to date for a total of 18 lines, each averaging 1.5 km in length. Lines are orientated perpendicular to the principal NE-SW mineralized trend.

Coastal Copper Belt

The Coastal Copper Belt in Peru is a Cretaceous belt hosting a variety of deposit types, including Porphyry, Epithermal, VMS and IOCG. Latin Metals' 100%-owned Lacsha copper-molybdenum, Yamba copper-molybdenum, Auquis copper-gold and Tillo, Para and Loli projects are all located in the northern Lima-Ica portion of the coastal belt.

QA/QC

The work program at Lacsha 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.

Latin Metals Reports IP Survey Results at Lacsha Project, Peru

TSXV: LMS) OTCQB: LMSQF) is pleased to announce the results of the Induced Polarization (" IP ") survey at its 100% own Lacsha project, located in the Coastal Copper Belt, Peru. The objective of the recently completed survey was to determine the distribution of potentially copper bearing sulphides (IP chargeability), distribution of alteration (IP resistivity and ground magnetics) to frame the Lacsha copper target in the context of an upright, intact porphyry copper system and identify drill targets. The responses in general correlate well with generally accepted porphyry exploration models and the result is four high-priority targets areas ( Figures 1 and 2 ).

Copper Price Forecast: Top Trends for Copper in 2025

Copper prices saw impressive gains in 2024, even breaking the US$5 per pound mark in May. However, the red metal's gains didn't last, and by the end of the year copper had retreated back to the US$4 range.

The start of 2025 could be eventful, with Donald Trump returning to the Oval Office, a new stimulus package coming into effect in China and a continued push for greener technologies around the world.

What will these factors mean for copper prices in the new year? Will they rise, or can investors expect the base metal to remain rangebound? Here's a look at what experts see coming for the important commodity.
