Executive Summary

Latin Explore Inc. has identified a substantial 1.8 km by 1.6 km porphyry target at its 100%-owned Para project in Peru, utilizing reprocessed historical 3D geophysical data. The anomaly extends from the surface to approximately 800 meters in depth, characterized by induced polarization chargeability, magnetic lows, hydrothermal alteration, and surface geochemistry showing copper concentrations of up to 1.7%.

Following the approval of a drill permit (FTA) in August 2026, the company has secured authorization for up to 14 holes. The initial Phase I program comprises three holes totaling approximately 2,000 meters, with drilling scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026 and first assay results anticipated in early 2027. This development comes shortly after the May 2026 appointment of Dr. Donovan Pienaar as CEO to oversee the project's execution phase.

Material Impact

Latin Explore Inc. (LXE) has announced a routine progression of its exploration program, with target definition and drilling timelines aligning with previous announcements made in April and August 2026. The update confirms the company is on track to execute its maiden drill program, a necessary step to de-risk the asset. The release contains no new geological data, assay results, or financial updates.
