Canadian-based Latin Metals Inc. provided an update on exploration its 100%-owned Lacsha copper property located in the Peruvian Coastal Copper Belt.

Phase I exploration at the 4,000-hectare Lacsha property was initiated in January 2021 with initial rock sampling, which identified outcropping copper mineralization ranging from 110 ppm up to 6,410 ppm and molybdenum ranging from 1.5 ppm up to 86.8 ppm.

Phase II work included 34 stream sediment samples designed to screen the entire property and additional rock sampling and mapping. Results of the stream sediment survey has confirmed the existence of copper mineralization at Lacsha.

Phase III exploration has begun and will be completed in early Q2. On completion and once results are available, it is expected that geophysical surveying will commence aiming to define drill targets for testing during 2021.
