TSXV: LMS) (OTCQB: LMSQF) announces that it has received an option exercise notice from Patagonia Gold Corp. (" Patagonia "), pursuant to an option agreement (the " Option Agreement ") among Patagonia, Latin Metals and an Argentine subsidiary of Latin Metals, whereby Patagonia was granted an irrevocable option (the " Option ") to acquire a 100% interest in the Mina Angela project (the " Project " or " Mina Angela "), located in the Province of Chubut, Argentina.

In connection with exercise of the Option, Patagonia (through its subsidiary) will make a cash payment to Latin Metals of US$250,000 pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, which payment is due on or before March 26, 2021 ( Table 1 ). Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, Latin Metals will be entitled to receive a 1.25% net smelter returns royalty (" Royalty ") from future production on the Project, half of which Royalty can be repurchased by Patagonia from Latin Metals at any time for US$1 million.

Table 1: Schedule of Commercial Terms

Notes:
1. Within thirty (30) days from the lifting of the Chubut Province mining bans in such a manner that Patagonia thereafter has the ability to perform exploration and exploitation mining activities on the Project, irrespective of whether Patagonia has obtained the required permits for such exploration and mining activities or the actual performance of such activities.

"Patagonia's purchase of Mina Angela is consistent with Latin Metals' strategy to joint venture core assets and where possible to monetize non-core assets, like Mina Angela, while keeping a retained royalty interest, in this case a 1.25% Royalty," stated Keith Henderson, Latin Metals' President and CEO. "Receipt of US$250,000, together with a contingent future payment of US$500,000 will conclude the US$1,090,000 disposition of the Mina Angela asset. We would like to wish Patagonia's management team every success in moving the project forward."

About Latin Metals

Latin Metals is a mineral exploration company with a diversified portfolio of gold and copper exploration assets in South America.

Most of the exploration expense could be borne by JV partners, potentially reducing dilution associated with funding ongoing exploration activities.

In all future property agreements, the Company intends to retain a minority interest across the portfolio, providing shareholders with exposure to potential discovery upside.
