Latin Metals begins exploration at Ventana North

Executive Summary

• Latin Metals Inc. is commencing its first systematic exploration program at the Ventana North property in northwestern Argentina, marking the initial phase of a district-scale sediment-hosted copper exploration play.
• The company controls a dominant land position of approximately 500,000 hectares across four projects, positioning itself as an early entrant in a largely underexplored belt with potential for large, high-grade deposits.
• The initial field activities, scheduled to commence in early Q2 2026, will focus on a detailed stream sediment sampling program designed to generate high-quality drill targets and advance the project toward partner-financed drilling.

Key Details

• Project Location & Scale: Ventana North is part of the larger Ventana project (176,000 hectares) within the Salta Rift basin in northwestern Argentina. The company controls a total of ~500,000 hectares across four sediment-hosted copper projects.
• Exploration Strategy: The approach is a "prospect generator model" aiming to minimize risk and dilution by securing option agreements with partners to finance exploration.
• Initial Program Scope:
  • Activity: Detailed stream sediment sampling.
  • Volume: Approximately 500 samples.
  • Area: 73,000-hectare area within Ventana North.
  • Objective: Systematically evaluate the area, generate a robust geochemical dataset, and define priority areas for follow-up exploration and drill target delineation.
• Timeline: Field activities are expected to commence in early Q2 2026, with initial results anticipated shortly thereafter.
• Geological Context: The region features structural and stratigraphic features analogous to major global sediment-hosted copper districts (e.g., Zambia, central Europe). It offers exceptional infrastructure, including highway access and nearby power lines.
• Qualified Person: Eduardo Leon, an employee of the company who holds securities, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information.

Notable Quotes

• Keith Henderson, President and CEO: "We control what we believe to be one of the largest unexplored sediment-hosted copper land positions globally, covering approximately 500,000 hectares. The 2026 program at Ventana North marks the first systematic step toward unlocking this district-scale opportunity, as we rapidly generate drill targets and position the project for potential partnerships."
