Latin Metals Inc. announced that it has acquired a 100% interest in the Yanba copper exploration project, Coastal Coper Belt, Peru. The 4,000-hectare Yanba project is located close to the Company?s Lacsha copper project where recent exploration has identified extensive copper mineralization at surface and where the Company expects to finalize drill targets by year end. The Yanba acquisition was completed following completion of an extensive regional stream sediment survey, screening approximately 200 km square. The area was selected for staking due to consistent copper anomalies and geological similarities to the nearby Lacsha project. The Company has completed a stream sediment survey covering 200 km square with 35 samples. Copper values range from 28 ppm to 139 ppm, with anomalies across 7 contiguous catchments and anomalous areas being 3 times higher than background. This geochemical anomalism drove the prioritization of this area, together with geological similarities to Lacsha. Latin Metals is currently in discussions with the single local community who hold the surface rights, following which the Company expects to begin systematic surface exploration. As was the case at Lacsha, a talus survey program will be the first pass to identify the highest priority targets. The Coastal Copper Belt in Peru is a Cretaceous belt hosting a variety of deposit types including Porphyry, Epithermal, VMS and IOCG. Latin Metals? 100%-owned Lacsha copper-molybdenum, Yanba copper-molybdenum, and Auquis copper-gold projects are all located in the northern Lima-Ica portion of the coastal belt.
