(\"Latin Metals\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: LMS) (OTCQB: LMSQF) is pleased to provide shareholders with an overview of project advancement achieved during 2025 and the exploration and corporate activities planned for 2026, as the Company transitions from project advancement to execution, with multiple drill-ready assets across its gold and copper portfolio. Following a year focused on drill permitting, project expansions, and the advancement of partner-funded exploration agreements, Latin Metals enters 2026 with several drill-ready projects and active partner-funded exploration programs, supported by a strengthened balance sheet and no near-term requirement for equity financing.
