Latin Metals Vests 71% Ownership of Key Argentine Gold-Silver Exploration Assets with Potential for High-Grade Discoveries

 

Latin Metals Vests 71% Ownership of Key Argentine Gold-Silver Exploration Assets with Potential for High-Grade Discoveries

Vancouver, B.C. – Latin Metals Inc.(“Latin Metals” or the “Company”) - (TSXV: LMS) (OTCQB: LMSQF), is pleased to announce it has successfully completed payment obligations to the underlying owner (the “Vendor”) to vest a 71% ownership interest in the Cerro Bayo and La Flora properties (collectively “Cerro Bayo” or the “Properties”) in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, strengthening the Company’s precious metals portfolio. Latin Metals has an option for 100% ownership, subject to a 0.75% NSR royalty (of which 0.5% can be purchased for US$1 million).

Exploration Potential at Cerro Bayo

The Cerro Bayo and La Flora properties, previously optioned out to Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE: GOLD) (“Barrick”), have undergone extensive surface exploration and drill targeting (Figure 1). Located within the prolific Deseado Massif, a region known for high-grade gold-silver deposits, the properties exhibit evidence for the existence of low-sulfidation epithermal systems. The geological model indicates potential for gold-silver bonanza vein mineralization at accessible depths of 150 to 200 meters.

The district’s closest high-grade analog is Newmont’s (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) Cerro Negro mine, located 70 kilometers north, where similar ore shoots are found below the palaeosurface, suggesting substantial potential for high-grade discoveries at Cerro Bayo.

A major west-northwest trending dextral structure is interpreted as a transtensional fault defining a favourable structural zone 6km wide, traversing the entire Cerro Bayo property. 

Gold and silver grades are related to As, Sb, Hg, and Mo pathfinder elements (Figure 1), indicating a shallow epithermal system. Silver-gold ratios vary from 10:1 to 200:1. Higher grade gold concentrates about 100m to 150m below palaeosurface. Although outcrop is sparse, various veins have been mapped and samples (Figure 2). 

Drill Permit and Partnership Strategy

Latin Metals has been working towards a drill permit at Cerro Bayo and expects to conclude that process in Q4 2024. The Company is actively seeking an option partner to complete comprehensive exploration activities, including trenching, gradient array induced polarization (IP), CSAMT, and initial drill testing in 2025. 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Adjacent Property

Readers are cautioned that the Cerro Negro mine discussed above is adjacent properties and that the Company has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in the deposit, and that mineral deposits on adjacent or similar properties, and any production therefore or economics with respect thereto, are not in any way indicative of mineral deposits on Latin Metals’ properties or the potential production from, or cost or economics of, any future mining of any of Latin Metals’ mineral properties.

Value Proposition in Santa Cruz Province

Santa Cruz Province, known as Argentina’s premier mining region, represents a key area for gold and silver production, contributing approximately 42% of the country's total mineral exports. Supported by robust infrastructure and a skilled workforce, the province boasts six operating mines, including AngloGold Ashanti’s (NYSE: AU) Cerro Vanguardia, which has been in operation for over 25 years. This proven mining district offers both stability and significant potential for resource growth, making it an attractive destination for exploration and investment.

The province’s precious metals production in 2023 reached notable levels, with over 680,000 ounces of gold and 15.2 million ounces of silver extracted, emphasizing its geological wealth. Since 1990, nearly 600 million ounces of silver and 20 million ounces of gold have been discovered within the region, reflecting a rich exploration history with demonstrable discovery record.

Santa Cruz’s mining sector supports approximately 9,000 jobs, accounting for 22.5% of Argentina’s national mining workforce, with one in four of the country’s miners employed within the Province. This workforce is bolstered by a mining-friendly regulatory environment and established infrastructure that includes well-developed transportation and energy resources. Such factors reinforce the investment value of Santa Cruz, where Latin Metals’ Cerro Bayo project is strategically positioned to benefit from this well-supported mining ecosystem and proven discovery potential.
