/CNW/ -
Libero Copper

(OTCQB: LBCMF) (DE: 29H) would like to offer clarification and correction of the article published
on
April 21, 2022
by the Mining Journal, titled "Judge orders Libero to stop Mocoa exploration".
Based on a request for prior consultation with ancestral indigenous communities in the Reserve of
the Inga of Condagua, Libero has received an order by the Second Circuit Penal Judge of Mocoa, to
notify the suspension of exploration work in its title FJT-131.
Libero Copper
would like to clarify
that it has NO current exploration activities in FJT-131. All exploration activities are currently
taking place in title FJT-141 and are not affected by the injunction.
The Ministry of Interior is the competent authority for certification, authorization, supervision, and
participation in prior consultations with indigenous communities within the area of impact of projects.
Libero Copper
has already received the "Certificacion N
o
1025 de 31 de diciembre de 2019" from
the Ministry of Interior which states that no indigenous communities are within the exploration plans
of the company and therefore, no previous consultation is required. The company has submitted its
official reply regarding the injunction on
April 21, 2022
, which includes the receipt of certification
along with additional supporting details.
