Latin Metals (TSXV:LMS, OTCQB:LMSQF) is an exploration company focused on precious metals and copper projects in historically resource-rich regions of South America, specifically Peru and Argentina.

The company operates on a prospect generator model, focusing on acquiring prospective exploration properties at minimum cost, then completing initial evaluation through cost-effective exploration to establish drill targets. Latin Metals ultimately secures joint venture partners to fund drilling and advanced exploration, and in doing so, exposes shareholders to the upside of mineral discoveries while conserving capital.

The Organullo Project is a 100%-owned exploration property located in Salta Province, northwest Argentina. The project has a large alteration and mineralization footprint with geochemical anomalies and targets over a 10km strike length making Organullo one of the largest untested geochemical anomalies in Argentina. The project was historically known as a gold exploration play with locally high-grade gold at surface and with historical small-scale mining having been recorded at the Julio Verne Mine in the 1930s. Gold potential remains a focus today but with newly recognized potential for copper porphyry systems.

Latin Metals has agreed option terms with AngloGold Ashanti, who will option the Organullo, Trigal, and Ana Maria projects. AngloGold will have an initial option to earn a 75% interest through cash payments of US$2,550,000 and exploration expenditures of US$10,000,000, all over 5 years. AngloGold will have a second option to earn an additional 5% (aggregate 80%) interest by delivering an independent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimate and making a cash payment equal to US$4.65 per gold equivalent ounce of Measured and Indicated resource defined.

Argentina has a proven history of copper production, with 11 significant copper projects in the country's northwest region controlled by large mining companies. The Esperanza copper-gold project hosts an extensive copper-gold porphyry system exposed at the surface and extends to at least 400m depth. Latin Metals' most recent drill campaign returned 387m @ 0.57% copper and 0.27 g/t gold from the surface with mineralization open at depth.

The project is optioned to Libero Copper and Gold (TSX.V: LBC), who can earn a 70% interest by making payments to the underlying owner of US$1,900,000, cash payments of US$500,000 to Latin Metals, and incurring exploration expenditure of US$2,000,000.

Latin Metals’ Cerro Bayo and La Flora are optioned to Barrick Gold Corporation. Barrick has the right to acquire up to an 85% interest in the Company’s Cerro Bayo, Cerro Bayo Sur and La Flora properties, located in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, by cash payments of aggregate US$ 1,175,000 to Latin Metals, meeting payment obligations of aggregate US$ 2,321,793 to the underlying optionor, by incurring exploration expenditures of US$ 5,000,000, and by delivering various NI 43-101 technical reports, including a Prefeasibility Study. The properties are currently subject to an underlying option agreement pursuant to which Latin Metals has the right to acquire an ultimate 100% interest in the properties.

Latin Metals has options to earn a 100% interest in the Fiorentina, Aylen and Pedro properties, also located in the Deseado Massif, Santa Cruz. The Deseado Massif is home to a number of advanced-stage exploration projects owned or operated by mid-tier to major mining companies. Since 1990, discoveries in this region have included almost 600 million ounces of silver and approximately 20 million ounces of gold. Latin Metals’ projects are located close to advanced prospects or operating mines and are considered prospective for gold and silver.

Having completed the sale of the Mina Angela project to Patagonia Gold in Q2 2021, Latin Metals holds a 1.25% NSR royalty on future production. An additional US$500,000 cash payment is also due to Latin Metals on receipt of mine permits.

The 100%-owned, 4,000-hectare Lacsha project is located within the Cretaceous age Coastal Copper Belt where discoveries include copper porphyry, VMS, IOCG and intrusion-related gold deposits. The project is prospective for copper-molybdenum porphyry. The project is located south and contiguous with Newmont's (TSX:NGT) Sumacwayra copper-molybdenum discovery.

The project was acquired by staking in 2020, and Latin Metals has moved quickly to complete extensive surface exploration, resulting in the discovery of multiple copper-molybdenum mineralized zones. Highlights include surface rock chip sampling, which has identified consistent copper mineralization at surface. Highlights include:

TSXV: LMS) OTCQB: LMSQF) is pleased to announce the results of the Induced Polarization (" IP ") survey at its 100% own Lacsha project, located in the Coastal Copper Belt, Peru. The objective of the recently completed survey was to determine the distribution of potentially copper bearing sulphides (IP chargeability), distribution of alteration (IP resistivity and ground magnetics) to frame the Lacsha copper target in the context of an upright, intact porphyry copper system and identify drill targets. The responses in general correlate well with generally accepted porphyry exploration models and the result is four high-priority targets areas ( Figures 1 and 2 ).

"The recently received IP data is the final layer of data that we will use to define drill targets. Combined with magnetic data and surface geochemistry, we see a relatively simple suite of anomalies that define four significant drill targets," stated Keith Henderson, Latin Metals' President & CEO. "Surface chip channel sampling completed in Q1 defined consistent mineralization including 52m grading 0.38% copper and 237ppm molybdenum. While these grades are excellent, the IP chargeability data points to peak chargeability below surface at approximately 100m from surface. The project will need to be drilled to establish whether chargeability is related to copper mineralization."

Surface lithology, structure and geochemistry together with new geophysical data at Lacsha are consistent with porphyry-related sulphide mineralization and strengthen a series of compelling drill targets ( Figure 1 ):

Integration of surface geochemistry with geophysics is a critical step in exploration ( Figure 2 ):

Lacsha Presentation on Web Site A presentation has been uploaded on the Company's website, which summarizes all aspects of the exploration completed at Lacsha to date.

Induced Polarization Survey Details The IP survey was completed in Q1 2022, consisting of 18 lines oriented northwest-southeast. Lines are between 1.4km and 1.7km in length and spaced 200m apart for a total survey length of 27km. The survey was completed using a Pole-Dipole arrangement (multi-electrodes), with dipoles every 100m recording readings from the first to the tenth stations. Penetration depth is expected to be up to 600m from surface.

Next Steps Having already executed community agreements through to the end of 2024, Latin Metals is applying for drill permits to test the highest priority target areas and permits are expected to be in place by Q4 2022. The Company is considering whether to complete initial drilling or to secure a partner to fund initial drilling, and a final decision is expected to be made on receipt of drill permits.

Coastal Copper Belt 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, Lacsha Copper-Molybdenum, Auquis Copper-molybdenum, Yanba Copper-Molybdenum, Tillo, Para and Loli prospects are all located in the northern Lima-Ica portion of the coastal belt.

Latin Metals at PDAC 2022 Latin Metals will be exhibiting at PDAC 2022, and the Company invites conference attendees to visit the LMS booth #3124 at the Investor Exchange in the South Building of the Metro Toronto Convention Center from June 13 to 15, 2022. Company representatives will be on hand to discuss the prospect generator model as well as our work plans for the rest of the year.

TSXV: LMS, OTCQB: LMSQF) announces that it has entered into a binding option agreement (the " Option Agreement ") with AngloGold Argentina Exploraciones S.A. ("AngloGold"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. (NYSE: AU, JSE: ANG, ASX: AGG) made as of May 27, 2022. Subsequently, AngloGold provided notice that all conditions precedent have been satisfied, and as a result the Option Agreement's commencement date (the " Commencement Date ") has been established as June 2, 2022. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, Latin Metals granted to AngloGold the option to earn up to an 80% interest in the Company's Organullo, Ana Maria, and Trigal Gold projects (the " Projects ") located in Salta Province, northwestern Argentina ( Figure 1 ).

"We are delighted to welcome AngloGold as an option partner. AngloGold Ashanti is the fourth largest gold producer globally, with operations across four continents," said Keith Henderson, President and CEO of Latin Metals. "AngloGold's investment of up to USD $12.575 million for a 75% ownership interest in the Projects is a significant investment and, if AngloGold were to exercise its top-up right for an aggregate 80% ownership, additional investments by AngloGold would include delivery of a Mineral Resource estimate and further cash payments commensurate with defined ounces to Latin Metals."

Mr. Henderson added, "I am particularly pleased to have concluded this agreement so soon after completing a similar deal with Barrick Gold Corporation in February. Securing high-quality, technically excellent, and financially capable partners is a very important part of our prospect generator model and we hope to conclude additional deals as we continue to market our project portfolio."

Under the terms of the Option Agreement ( Table 1 ), AngloGold has been granted the option to earn an initial 75% interest in the Projects (the " Option ") by making cash payments to Latin Metals in the aggregate amount of USD $2,575,000 and spending an aggregate amount of USD $10,000,000 on exploration expenditures related to the Projects within five years of the Commencement Date (the " Option Period "). During the Option Period, Latin Metals will receive exploration results and data from AngloGold on a quarterly basis.

Upon the fulfilment of the payment obligations and exploration expenditures set forth above, and the delivery by AngloGold to Latin Metals of a notice of exercise of the Option (the " Option Exercise Date ") and subject to the exercise of Top-Up Right (as defined below), AngloGold and Latin Metals will be deemed to have formed a joint venture (the " Joint Venture ") for the continued exploration, development and, if warranted, commercialization of the Projects, in respect of which the initial participating interests of the parties will be, AngloGold as to 75% and Latin Metals as to 25%.

Upon the exercise of the Option, AngloGold may give notice to Latin Metals of its intention to increase its interest in the Projects to 80% (the " Top-Up Right "). The Top-Up Right may be exercised within 150 days of the Option Exercise Date by AngloGold:

(i) preparing and delivering to Latin Metals an independent Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource estimate prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (" NI 43-101 ") on one or more deposits contained within the Projects; and

(ii) paying to Latin Metals an amount of USD $4.65 per gold equivalent ounce contained within the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource estimate.

Upon the exercise of the Top-Up Right, the parties' interests in the Joint Venture will be adjusted such that the participating interests of the parties will be AngloGold as to 80% and Latin Metals as to 20%.

If and when the parties form the Joint Venture, the provisions of the agreement governing the Joint Venture will be negotiated and settled by the parties and will provide, among other things, that if the participating interest of either party falls below 10%, the interest of such party shall be converted to a 2% net smelter returns royalty, half of which (being 1%) can be purchased by the other party for USD $5,000,000 at any time until the date that is three (3) months after a production decision concerning one or more of the Projects has been made.

The Projects are in Salta Province, in northwest Argentina ( Figure 1 ). Latin Metals currently holds a 100% interest in each of the Projects. The Projects are located within the Argentine Puna region; the southern extension of the Altiplano of southern Peru.

The Organullo project was historically explored and mined on a small scale at the Julio Verne Mine in the 1930's, producing copper, bismuth and gold. Subsequent explorers include Triton Mining Corporation, Northern Orion Exploration, Newmont Corporation, Cardero Resources Corp., Latin Metals and most recently Yamana Gold Inc. (2018 to 2020). Historical exploration includes 28 diamond drill holes (5,872m), 30 reverse circulation drill holes (5,107m), 3,158 rock samples, as well as extensive surface geochemistry and geophysical surveys. The project is well known as a gold-focused project with locally high-grade gold outcropping at surface, but exploration shows juxtaposed epithermal and porphyry mineralization, and evidence for multiple copper-gold endowed magmatic hydrothermal centers. The project has a large alteration and mineralization footprint with multiple untested epithermal gold and copper porphyry targets. The project is accessed via existing roads and is located just 20 km south of a regional center called San Antonio de Los Cobres.

The Ana Maria project was acquired by Latin Metals through staking and consists of three mining claims partially contiguous with the more advanced Organullo Project. The project has not been subject to prior detailed exploration. The area is prospective for epithermal gold deposits and associated mineralization. The area was covered by a BLEG sampling program, which was undertaken in partnership with Newmont in 2008.

The Trigal project is a gold and silver exploration project, which was first identified as having potential following a BLEG sampling program undertaken by the Company in partnership with Newmont Corporation. The project is contiguous with the El Quevar project owned by Golden Minerals Company, an advanced exploration-stage silver exploration project, with an indicated and inferred mineral resource. In April 2020, the El Quevar project was optioned by Barrick Gold Corporation.

Readers are cautioned that the mines and deposits described above are adjacent properties and Latin Metals has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in the properties outside of the Projects. Mineral deposits on adjacent properties and any production therefrom or economics with respect thereto, are not in any way indicative of mineral deposits on the Projects or the potential production from, or cost or economics of, any future mining on the Projects. The adjacent properties are described to highlight the potential of the belt and certain properties contained within it.

TSXV: LMS) OTCQB: LMSQF) is pleased to announce positive exploration results from its 100%-owned Auquis copper project (" Auquis " or the " Project "), located in the Coastal Copper Belt, where soil sampling results define high-grade anomalous copper over a 3km x 2km area.

The Company initiated exploration at the 4,000-hectare Auquis in February this year. Exploration completed to date includes an extensive soil sampling program designed to screen the most prospective portions of the property. A total of 253 soil samples were collected on a 400m x 200m grid. Results are positive ( Figure 1 ), defining a coincident copper and molybdenum anomaly over an area of 3km x 2km. Within this area, copper-in-soil values are greater than 500 ppm (0.05%) and up to 2,300 ppm (0.23%) copper.

Latin Metals is committed to regularly engaging with community stakeholders and backing local projects with positive and lasting community benefits. Having reached an agreement with the communities at Auquis, the Company will undertake various capacity-building projects focused on agricultural development and irrigation projects. Community engagement and consultation continues at the Auquis project and is ongoing at this and other Latin Metals' projects.

Latin Metal's CEO, Keith Henderson, commented: "Exploration at Auquis offers compelling discovery potential as little historical work has been done on these highly prospective targets. The project remains an exciting exploration story that can expose investors to a top mining jurisdiction as well as commodities in high demand and short supply, such as copper. We look forward to updating our shareholders with progress as we move through exploration milestones over the coming months."

Latin Metals will begin a comprehensive rock chip sampling and mapping program in April, focusing on the high-grade copper anomalies identified by the soil survey.

The Coastal Copper Belt in Peru is a Cretaceous belt hosting a variety of deposit types, including porphyry, epithermal, VMS and IOCG. Latin Metals has staked six exploration projects in the Belt, totalling 15,900 hectares. In 2021, the Company focused on the Lacsha copper-molybdenum discovery, where extensive exploration has been completed, including surface geochemistry and geophysical surveys. The Auquis copper-molybdenum project will see similar levels of exploration over the coming months.

The work program at Auquis was designed and supervised by Eduardo Leon, the Company's Exploration Manager. He is responsible for all aspects of the work, including the quality control/quality assurance program. On-site personnel at the project rigorously collect and track samples which are then security sealed and shipped to the ALS laboratory in Lima. Samples used for the results described herein are prepared and analyzed by multi-element analysis using an inductively coupled mass spectrometer in compliance with industry standards.

Soil samples were extracted from prospecting pits measuring 40cm x 40 cm, where the uppermost A horizon was removed to collect the underlying B horizon. A total of 1.5 to 2.0 kg of B Horizon material was collected at each sampling site, before the sampling pit was reclaimed. A total of 253 samples were collected on a grid of 200m north-south and 400m east-west orientation.

Under the terms of the Earn-In Agreement, Barrick is now obligated to incur at least USD $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Properties by the second anniversary of the Effective Date. Latin Metals has now also received the US$150,000 cash payment from Barrick that was due on the Effective Date.

Keith Henderson, President and CEO of Latin Metals, commented, "We look forward to working with Barrick as it commences its operations under the earn-in agreement, which will initially include delineation work comprised of detailed geological mapping and sampling and subsequent geophysics, in order to quickly identify drill targets. Pursuant to the terms of the earn-in agreement, Latin Metals will receive a summary of the operations conducted by Barrick on the properties and the results thereof on a quarterly basis, with the first report scheduled to be delivered to Latin Metals at the end of May 2022."

Under the terms of the Earn-In Agreement, Barrick has the right to acquire up to an 85% interest in the Properties. Barrick's earn-in right consists of an initial option (the " First Option ") to acquire a 70% interest in the Properties and a second option (the " Second Option ") to acquire an additional 15% (aggregate 85%) interest.

The Properties are currently subject to an underlying option agreement dated February 7, 2019, as amended (the " Underlying Option Agreement ") (see news release dated February 11, 2019), pursuant to which Latin Metals has the right to acquire a 100% interest in the Properties.

TSXV: LMS, OTCQB: LMSQF) announces that it has entered into an earn-in agreement (the " Earn-In Agreement ") with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation (" Barrick ") (TSX: ABX and NYSE: GOLD). Under the terms of the Earn-In Agreement, Barrick has the right to acquire up to an 85% interest in the Company's Cerro Bayo, Cerro Bayo Sur and La Flora properties (the " Properties "), located in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina (Figure 1). Barrick's earn-in right consists of an initial option (the " First Option ") to acquire a 70% interest in the Properties and a second option (the " Second Option ") to acquire an additional 15% (aggregate 85%) interest.

The Properties are currently subject to an underlying option agreement dated February 7, 2019, as amended (the " Underlying Option Agreement ") (see news release dated February 11, 2019), pursuant to which Latin Metals has the right to acquire an ultimate 100% interest in the Properties.

To exercise the First Option and earn a 70% interest by the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date (defined below) of the Earn-In Agreement, Barrick must:

To exercise the Second Option and earn an additional 15% interest by the ninth anniversary, Barrick must:

The binding nature of Barrick's expenditure commitment does not become effective until the parties have entered into an agreement with the underlying property owner to acknowledge Barrick's rights under the Earn-In Agreement and authorize Barrick to conduct operation on the properties (the " Effective Date "). In the event that such agreement is not reached within 60 days of executing the Earn-In Agreement, Barrick may terminate the Earn-In Agreement immediately upon notice to Latin Metals.

Barrick may at any time during the term of the Earn-In Agreement accelerate the timing for payment of any or all cash payments to Latin Metals and the underlying owner of the Properties, delivery of technical studies, and incurring exploration expenditures.

"Barrick is a good partner who bring considerable technical and financial capability to the project" said Keith Henderson, President and CEO of Latin Metals. "Assuming that the Earn-In Agreement runs to full term, Barrick's investment of around US$8.5 million will include payments to the underlying vendor, payments directly to Latin Metals and funding of work on the ground; all of which will help to limit dilution to Latin Metals' shareholders." Mr. Henderson added: "The Earn-In Agreement is consistent with the Company's prospect generator model, and the work contemplated, if successful, would advance the projects considerably, while Latin Metals will retain a minority interest."

During the term of the First Option, Barrick will have the exclusive right to explore and conduct operations on the Properties and Latin Metals will be responsible for maintaining the Properties valid and in good standing.

Upon the exercise of the First Option, Latin Metals and Barrick will form a joint venture (the " JV ") for the continued exploration, development and, if warranted, mining of the Properties. The initial participating interests of the parties in the JV will be Barrick – 70% and Latin Metals - 30%. If Barrick exercises the Second Option, the interests of the participants will be Barrick – 85% and Latin Metals - 15%. The party with the majority participating interest will be the operator of the Properties. Funding of the JV's operations will be based on each party's prevailing proportionate participating interest. Dilution of a party's participating interest will apply in the case of funding shortfalls by either party. If a party's participating interest in the JV falls to below 5%, it will be converted into a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty (the " Dilution Royalty "). The transfer of the Dilution Royalty shall be subject to a right of first refusal in favour of the non-diluting party.

Midnight Sun Mining Corp. (TSXV: MMA) (OTCQB: MDNGF) (the "Company" or "Midnight Sun") has received notification of Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Limited's ("Rio Tinto") intention to terminate the previously announced Earn-In and Joint Venture Agreement (the "Earn-In Agreement") (see the Company's news release dated April 27, 2020). Termination will be effective June 28, 2022.

Under the terms of the Earn-In Agreement, Rio Tinto has not earned any ownership of the Solwezi Licences, and control will be returned to Midnight Sun, along with all samples and data collected while Rio Tinto acted as the project operator.

Al Fabbro, President & CEO commented, "While Rio Tinto were not satisfied with the results generated by their work on our properties, I do not share their feelings. From the outset of this Agreement, Rio Tinto made it clear to me they were looking for a 'Rio sized deposit.' Falling short of their parameters does not mean we don't have the makings of an economic orebody on our hands. They have generated excellent databases of geochemical and geophysical information that tell me the Solwezi Licences are very much still alive and warranting further work."

Midnight Sun has received the 2021 Solwezi exploration report from Rio Tinto. All of the work in this field season was focused on license 12124-HQ-LEL and total expenditures for the 2021 program were approximately USD $2.95 million.

The work consisted of 5,968 meters ("m") of drilling divided into: 2,483 m of diamond drilling ("DD") over 8 holes, 1,050 m of Reverse Circulation drilling ("RC") and 2,682 m of air core drilling ("AC"). There were also 668 new soil samples taken and 1,200 AC samples from Mitu reanalyzed.

A total of five target areas were examined: Gameno, Likoko, Sanda, Mawemba and Dumbwa.

There were three DD holes at Gameno totalling 1,300 m. The program was designed to test a Cu-Bi anomaly that was upgraded by two AC holes in 2020 that returned 18 m of 0.21% Cu and 14 m of 0.23% Cu. The three best intercepts were 2.1 m of 0.68% Cu from 360 m, 1.5 m of 0.79% Cu from 188.5 m, and 1.42 m of 8.3% Cu from 164 m.

No further work is recommended due to lack of strike continuity and thickness. It is also the most populous part of the licenses, running into the town of Solwezi, which hampers further exploration and potential development.

Two DD holes, totalling 461 m tested the Mitu extension to the southeast over a moderate copper soil anomaly coincident with a strong Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic ("VTEM") anomaly and an audiomagnetotelluric ("AMT") conductor. Neither diamond drill hole intersected Cu mineralisation, indicating further geological and structural modelling of the Mitu Trend is required to understand the controls of mineralisation and the fluid focusing mechanism along this target area.

Two DD holes totalling 499 m tested a weak soil geochemical anomaly and a large VTEM anomaly similar to Mitu. Weak mineralisation was encountered in each hole.

One diamond drill hole was completed to test a Cu in soil anomaly on the north-west edge of a large mafic intrusive body. This diamond drill hole intercepted 20 m of 0.19% Cu from 27.3 m.

At Mawemba NE, 18 air core holes were drilled across three fences, testing a Cu in soil anomaly and along a linear magnetic anomaly. The strongest result was 1 m of 1.13% Cu from 26 m, terminating in mineralization.

Rio Tinto performed a full review of the diamond drilling previously performed by Midnight Sun on the area to get an understanding of the geology and mineralisation of the area. A 200 m x 200 m infill soil geochemical grid confirmed the continuity of the anomaly and seven reverse circulation holes were drilled.

Midnight Sun engaged an independent Copperbelt expert, Dr. Simon Dorling, to review the data generated by Rio Tinto's work and prepare recommendations for Midnight Sun's 2022 work program.

All samples collected by Rio Tinto including soil samples and all drilling were sent to ALS Global Ndola facility for preparation and on turn ALS Vancouver for analysis. The prepared samples was provisionally analysed by ALS certified pXRF at Ndola and in turn by ICP-AES/MS method in Vancouver. One duplicate sample and one certified standard sample were inserted by Rio Tinto in every 20 samples analysed for quality control/quality assurance purposes.

Qualified Person: Richard Mazur, P.Geo., a Director of the Company anda Qualified Person under NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical data and contents of this release.
