Latin Metals Provides Update on
AngloGold Ashanti Exploration Activities
Drill Permit Application Submitted for up to 11,900m
NR23-07 March 6, 2023
Vancouver, British Columbia – Latin Metals Inc. (“Latin Metals” or the “Company”) - (TSXV:
LMS, OTCQB: LMSQF) provides an update regarding exploration activities on various properties
included in an existing option agreement with AngloGold Argentina Exploraciones S.A.
(“AngloGold”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. (NYSE: AU, JSE: ANG, ASX:
AGG) under the terms of which AngloGold has an option to earn up to an 80% interest in the
Company’s Organullo, Ana Maria, and Trigal Gold projects.
“AngloGold initiated exploration at Organullo only two weeks after si gning the definitive option
with Latin Metals in mid-2022, and it has advanced the project quickly to the point where it has
drill-ready targets. The main advantage of working with major mining companies is the technical
excellence and experience that they bring to a project,” stated Keith Henderson, President & CEO
of Latin Metals. “AngloGold ha s assembled an experienced technical team, and its exploration
approach has resulted in the definition of new targets for drill testing at Organullo.”
AngloGold Exploration Plans
AngloGold has received permits to complete a helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric survey
ahead of planned drilling. A drill permit has been submitted for up to 11, 900m (up to 39 drill
holes) on the Breccia Hill, Axel, and Nemo targets (Plate 1).

represent three adjacent advanced argillic footprints over a 6km strike length, and none have seen any previous
drilling. Photograph looking east towards the historically producing Julio Verne mine.
Identification of three advanced argillic alteration centres over a 6km strike length is a significant
step forward for the project. AngloGold’s current plans include 7,000m of Phase 1 drilling in
2023, which will be completed with two drill rigs subject to receipt of drill permits.
