Latin Metals Defines Second Copper-Molybdenum Anomaly at the Lacsha Project, Peru

 

TSXV: LMS) (OTCQB: LMSQF) provides an update on exploration at the Company's 100%-owned Lacsha copper property (" Lacsha " or the " Project ") located in the Peruvian Coastal Copper Belt. Follow up results confirm a second copper-molybdenum anomaly over an area of 1.5km by 1.0km (" Lacsha South ") ( Figure 1 ), adding to the Lacsha North anomaly delineated by previous work (previous news release NR21-05, May 27, 2021).

 

   Lacsha Talus Sampling   

 

Exploration within the 4,000-hectare Project has included property-wide rock sampling and stream sediment sampling, as well as results from 28 talus samples defining Lacsha North.

 

Recently received analysis from 84 additional talus samples have delineated a larger 1.5km by 1.0km area of anomalous copper and molybdenum. Results defining Lacsha South include copper ranging from 441 to 2,820 ppm and molybdenum ranging from 4.8 to 192.5 ppm ( Figure 1 ). The anomaly is open to the south. At both Lacsha North and South, evidence of porphyry copper mineralization is observed as chlorite, secondary biotite and sericitic alteration in porphyritic rocks, locally associated with disseminated chalcopyrite.

 

   Figure 1: Location of copper-molybdenum anomalies defined by recent talus sampling, location of high priority anomalies, and sampling in progress to the south   is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/dfe23eac-2a5f-45a2-9c70-ce99e320e54e .     

 

   "   Staking of the Lacsha Project less than one year ago and forging of agreements with local communities was followed by a systematic program of mapping and geochemical sampling," stated Keith Henderson, the Company's President and CEO. "We have been successful in delineating two large copper porphyry targets over a short time frame, and we are reaching the final stages of drill target definition."

 

   Next Steps   

 

Follow-up sampling has begun to continue sampling to the south, where the Lacsha South anomaly remains open for expansion. On receipt of results, the total extents of geochemical anomalies at Lacsha North and South will be fully defined, and geophysical surveys will commence with the aim of defining drill targets. On completion of drill permitting, the Company intends to secure a partner to fund drill testing of the targets.

 

   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 and Auquis copper-gold projects are both located in the northern Lima-Ica portion of the coastal belt .   The Lacsha Project is located approximately 110 km by road from Lima, 40 km from the coast, and is accessible year-round by paved road.

 

   QA/QC   

 

The work program at Lacsha was designed and is 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, Standard samples has been including in every shipment.

 

On-site personnel at the project rigorously collect and track samples which are then security sealed and shipped to 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.

Loyal to Acquire the High-Grade Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine

Loyal Metals Limited (ASX:LLM) (Loyal, LLM, or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a binding option to purchase the Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine in Queensland, Australia, one of the highest-grade copper mines worldwide, with past production totalling 3.65 million tonnes at 5.7% Cu and 260,000 tonnes at 4.5 g/t Au 1-9. This acquisition is the first step in Loyal’s 2025 Strategic Plan to broaden its critical minerals portfolio into copper. No exploration has been conducted on the mining leases since mining ceased in July 2005, despite a ~680% increase in copper prices and a ~1,256% increase in gold prices since the 1997 feasibility study 3,4. With over $4.4 million in funding, Loyal is well-positioned to revisit the high-grade Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine by deploying modern exploration techniques11.

​Copper​ Market Hit by Major Supply Squeeze as LME Inventories Drop

One of the sharpest copper supply crunches in recent memory is rattling global commodities markets, as inventories at the London Metal Exchange (LME) plummet and the spot price soars.

Bloomberg reported that as of Monday (June 23), copper for immediate delivery was trading at a premium of US$345 per metric ton over three month futures, the widest spread since a record squeeze in 2021.

That dramatic price divergence reflects the market’s acute concerns over access to physical copper, with readily available inventories on the LME falling by around 80 percent this year alone.

Top 10 Copper-producing Companies

Copper miners with productive assets have much to gain as supply and demand tighten.

In May 2024, the copper price hit a new all-time high of US$10,954 per metric ton (MT) on the London Metal Exchange and US$5.20 per pound on the COMEX on the back of increasing demand and growing supply concerns.

Copper is one of the most important resources for the energy transition. However, in recent years, demand for the red metal has outpaced mining supply. While construction and electrical grids have long been major markets for copper, today the rise in demand for electric vehicles, EV charging infrastructure and energy storage applications are emerging drivers of copper consumption.

Another trend driving future copper demand is the rapid urbanization in the Global South, as rural populations migrate to cities, putting pressure on electricity grids.
