Latin Metals Inc. announces staking of the Mirador Copper project (“Mirador” or the “Property”), totaling 99,000 hectares and located within Salta Province, Argentina. The property is prospective for sediment-hosted copper deposits, and initial reconnaissance has identified outcropping mineralization with one sample grading 2.4% copper and 628ppm vanadium. The 99,000-hectare Mirador project was selected for staking based on the compilation of historical data, regional interpretation of geological maps, and recognition of key geological characteristics in common with sediment-hosted copper deposits elsewhere in the world.

The Salta rift and the rocks of the Cretaceous Salta Group have not been a focus for modern exploration and a result, Latin Metals believes that the belt is significantly under-explored. The belt hosts potential source rocks and host rocks as well as structural settings seen in sediment hosted copper deposits globally. Historical records for sediment-hosted copper mineralization have been documented at two levels within the Salta group.

The potential host rock sedimentary formations are typically recessive and are covered by vegetation, which goes some way to explain why no other company has identified mineralization in this area.
