High-Grade Surface Sampling Results
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Latin Metals Inc. (TSXV: LMS, OTCQB: LMSQF) has announced receipt of high-grade surface sampling results from the partner-funded La Flora Project in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. Exploration by Daura Gold Corp. returned assays of up to 63.88 g/t gold and up to 175.34 g/t silver, further validating La Flora as a priority drill target within the broader Cerro Bayo–La Flora district.
Additional Sample Assays
Additional samples returned grades of 6.17 g/t gold and 9.29 g/t silver, 4.77 g/t gold and 7.87 g/t silver, 4.72 g/t gold and 9.80 g/t silver, and 3.26 g/t gold and 41.69 g/t silver. These results confirm high-grade epithermal mineralization within the one-kilometre-long La Flora vein system and support advancement toward initial drilling as part of Daura’s planned Phase II exploration program.
Vein System Characteristics
Four mineralized veins have been identified within a 100-metre-wide vein array traced over 380 metres of strike. The vein array forms part of the approximately one-kilometre-long La Flora Vein System. Gold mineralization is associated with arsenic, antimony, and mercury, consistent with productive low-sulphidation epithermal systems in the Deseado Massif. Drill permit applications have been submitted in advance of planned Phase II drilling.
Comments from Daura Gold Corp. CEO
Mark Sumner, Daura’s CEO, commented: “Surface sampling at La Flora has delivered some very high-grade results in the past, so we’re encouraged to see more high-grade samples, including visible gold, as we track these veins and refine our drill targeting for this exciting target. The La Flora vein system can be traced for over one kilometre and, within our current tenement position, comprises four veins within an approximately 100-metre-wide corridor. With high grades and visible gold at surface, it represents a compelling target for our planned Phase II drill campaign.”
Comments from Latin Metals CEO
Keith Henderson, Latin Metals’ President & CEO, stated: “These results continue to demonstrate the exploration potential of the broader Cerro Bayo–La Flora district and validate the targeting work completed by Latin Metals. What is particularly encouraging is that high-grade mineralization has now been confirmed within a substantial vein system that remains untested by drilling. Beyond the high-grade results themselves, the work is demonstrating that La Flora is part of a much larger mineralized system. The combination of visible gold, bonanza-grade surface samples, extensive strike length and newly identified structural targets reinforces our view that the district has the potential to generate multiple discoveries. Importantly, all of this work is being funded by our partner, allowing Latin Metals shareholders to maintain exposure to exploration success while minimizing dilution.”
