SALINAS LITHIUM PROJECT EXPANDED, AND DRILLING SET

TO COMMENCE IN FEBRUARY

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Latin Resources has secured two new lithium tenements, contiguous with its existing position, in the highly prospective Bananal Valley district in eastern Brazil.
  • Latins' lithium ground position, now expanded to 5,338 hectares, with multiple drill targets defined in the lithium corridor.
  • The Bananal Valley is within the Minas Gerais State - a rich mining region of Brazil, and home to the Grota do Cirilio Project under development by TSX-V listed Sigma Lithium Corporation.
  • Drilling permits lodged with drilling to commence February 2022.
  • Geology and recent assay results define highly compelling drill targets.
  • Priority drill targets identified where sampling returned high-grade results including 2.71% Li2O and 1.45% Li2O from spodumene bearing pegmatites, mapped over a strike length of over 1.2 kilometres.

Latin Resources Limited (ASX: LRS) ("Latin" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update of recent and ongoing activities at the Company's Salinas Lithium Project in Brazil ("Salinas" or the "Project"), where the Company has defined multiple drill targets and submitted drill permits to commence drilling. The Company has also secured two new highly prospective tenements to grow its footprint at the project area (Figure 1) with known outcropping high-grade lithium spodumene bearing pegmatites.

Salinas is located in the highly prospective Jequitinhonha Valley district of Minas Gerais Province of eastern Brazil (Appendix 1). Minas Gerais hosts the Eastern Brazilian lithium pegmatite province, home to TSX-V listed Sigma Lithium Corporation and lithium producer Companhia Brasilia de Lítio (CBL).

Latin has secured an exclusive and binding 12-month option over two new concessions in the Bananal Valley 830.219/2017 & 831.799/2005, whereby Latin may acquire a 100% interest in these tenements contiguous with the Company's existing Bananal Valley Project. These two new tenements now position Latin with a very large land package of over 5,338 hectares in the newly defined Salinas lithium corridor.

Latin Resources' Managing Director, Chris Gale, commented "Our geological team is extremely keen to commence drilling in early 2022, testing multiple high priority targets at Salinas.

"In addition, the option agreement to acquire two tenements next door to Bananal Valley significantly increases the prospectivity of the Project, given the two new tenements contain outcropping high- grade lithium spodumene bearing pegmatites."

DRILLING HIGH GRADE SPODUMENE PEGMATITES

The Company has finalised a total of 14 drill sites to test the outcropping high-grade Li bearing pegmatites identified in previous mapping and geochemical sampling programs. Drill permits have been submitted for the Phase I drillholes, with drilling scheduled to commence in February 2022. Additional permits for the follow-up Phase II holes will be lodged in the coming weeks.

The drilling is designed to test two priority target areas where sampling has returned multiple high- grade results including 2.71% Li2O and 1.45% Li2Oi from highly weathered spodumene bearing pegmatites, mapped over a strike length of over 1.2 kilometres within the Company's tenure.

The proposed drilling campaign will be the first drilling to test this highly anomalous and outcropping mineralised trend in an underexplored region that currently contains 100% of the Brazil's official lithium reserves.

Lithium, as a highly volatile element, is rapidly leached and depleted from weathered spodumene. Therefore, the presence of remnant lithium anomalism of this calibre in weathered outcrop is extremely encouraging and worthy of a targeted drilling campaign.
