August 31, 2021 (TSX Venture: LRA) - Lara Exploration Ltd. (“Lara”), is pleased to report that it has
signed a Mining Rights Transfer Agreement with BHP World Exploration Inc. Sucursal del Peru (“BHP”)
to acquire the Kenita property in exchange for a commitment to pay a 1% net smelter returns roya lty on
any future production. The Kenita property comprises five exploration licenses, totalling 2,200 hectares in
area, which are adjacent to a nd surround Lara’s 400 hectare Puituco Project, located in the Huancavelica
Department of Central Peru.
Lara previously reported high grade surface chip channel samples from Puituco, including 42.6m averaging
4.65% zinc, 4.86% lead and 37 g/t silver (see Lara news release of June 12, 2018 for details). The vertical
orientation of the breccia feeder structures to this mineralization and its relationship with the mapped
intrusives, indicate potential for the presence of a buried skarn/porphyry system. With the consolidation of
the Kenita property Lara intends to extend its surface mapping and sampling and undertake geophysical
surveys (Mag and IP) and define targets for a scout drilling program to test this potential.
The Puituco-Kenita property lies to the north of the Riqueza copper porphyry project, being drilled by Inca
Minerals Ltd. (IGC:ASX). Minera IRL Ltd.’s (MIRL:CSE) Corihuarmi high sulphidation epithermal gold
mine and the Bethania polymetallic mine, being redeveloped by Kuya Silver Corp. (KUYA:CSE), also lie
on the same trend to the northwest of Puituco-Kenita.
