[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n\n/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN\n THE UNITED STATES/\n\n\nVANCOUVER, June 5, 2012 /CNW/ - Plata Latina Minerals Corporation (\"Plata Latina\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce further results from ongoing drilling at the\n Company's 100% owned Naranjillo silver-gold property (\"Naranjillo\")\n that continue to indicate the presence of a significant epithermal\n silver-gold vein system.\n\n\nThe Company has received assays for three additional drill holes at\n Naranjillo (BDD-N-11, BDD-N-12, BDD-N-14), with results ranging up to 2,040 g/t Ag and 15.40 g/t Au over 2.77 metres on the principal Villa vein.  Drill holes BDD-N-12 and BDD-N-14\n represent successive step-outs of approximately 100 metres from the\n original high-grade intercept in the Company's discovery hole,\n BDD-N-10, which averaged 3,181 g/t silver and 13.28 g/t gold over 10.95\n metres on the Villa vein, as previously reported in Plata Latina's March 5,\n 2012 press release. Hole BDD-N-11 explored the outlying San Diego vein\n group.  This drilling discovered significant silver-gold values on\n splits of the Villa vein, as well as on a vein in the outlying San\n Diego vein group, approximately three kilometres to the northwest of\n the drilling at the Villa vein on the Naranjillo property.\n\n\nThe Company now has two diamond core drills working on the Naranjillo\n property and plans to add a third drill in July of this year. All three\n drills will be focused on advancing the Company's exploration at\n Naranjillo for hidden silver bearing vein structures similar in\n characteristic to other major deposits in the Mexican Silver Belt. \n Plata Latina has defined a system of northwesterly-striking veins at\n Naranjillo that have so far produced significant drill-hole values over\n a distance of approximately five kilometres along the vein system.\n\n\nPlata Latina's President and CEO, Mike Clarke, said, \"With this drilling\n of additional high silver-gold values on the Villa vein and with the\n discovery of additional veins bearing significant silver-gold values at\n Naranjillo, Plata Latina continues to make progress in its search for\n Mexico's next great epithermal silver-gold vein district.\"\n\n\nA summary of these results is provided in the table below.
