LATIN EXPLORE RECEIVES DRILL PERMIT FOR THE PARA COPPER-MOLYBDENUM PROJECT, PERU

Latin Explore Inc. has provided an update on permitting activities at its 100-per-cent-owned Para copper-molybdenum project, located within the Coastal copper belt of Peru.

The company has received the necessary approvals to advance an initial phase I drill program designed to test multiple high-priority copper-molybdenum porphyry targets. The drill permit is an FTA (Ficha Tecnica Ambiental) which grants permission to construct all necessary access roads and 14 drill pads, from which up to 14 drill holes may be completed for the initial drilling program. "Para is exactly the type of project Latin Explore was created to advance," stated Dr. Donovan Pienaar, president and chief executive officer. "The project combines many of the hallmarks of a significant porphyry system, including strong copper-molybdenum geochemistry, compelling geophysical signatures, favourable structural controls and multiple drill-ready targets. With historical work completed by Vale and subsequent work by Latin Metals, we believe Para presents an ideal opportunity for a maiden drill program designed to test the core of this large undrilled copper-molybdenum porphyry target."

Para copper project

The Para project is located approximately 106 kilometres southeast of Lima within Peru's Coastal copper belt, a region recognized for significant porphyry copper deposits and mineral endowment. The project comprises four contiguous mining concessions totalling approximately 2,200 hectares and 100 per cent owned by Latin Explore. The drill targets have been defined by historical exploration work completed by Vale Exploration Peru SAC and Latin Metals (see Latin Metals news release NR25-14, dated Aug. 13, 2025), which included geological mapping, talus and rock chip geochemical sampling, as well as geophysical surveys, including induced polarization, ground magnetic and resistivity surveys. The historical exploration significantly advanced the project through geophysical surveying, geochemical sampling and drill targeting, providing Latin Explore with a strong technical foundation for the planned initial drill program. Exploration work completed by Latin Metals and Vale has defined a large alteration and mineralization footprint at surface consistent with porphyry copper-molybdenum systems elsewhere within Peru's Coastal copper belt.

Exploration completed to date has outlined a compelling porphyry copper-molybdenum target characterized by:

• Multiple walk-up drill targets ready for testing;
• Strong copper (1.7 per cent) and molybdenum geochemical anomalies at surface;
• Distinct copper-molybdenum core with distal zinc-lead halo zonation;
• Coincident induced polarization chargeability anomalies typically associated with sulphide mineralization;
• Central magnetic low consistent with hydrothermal alteration;
• Structural controls favourable for porphyry emplacement.

The planned phase I drill program will comprise approximately 2,000 metres, with each drill hole designed to test key geological, geochemical and geophysical targets interpreted to represent the core of the porphyry system. The program will also evaluate the potential grade continuity, as well as the depth extent and geometry of the mineralized system.

Next steps

With the receipt of the drilling permit, the company is positioned to proceed with application for the autorizacion de inicio de actividades (authorization to initiate activities), which is expected to be granted by the Peruvian authorities. Following receipt of all applicable administrative and regulatory authorizations, the company will initiate drilling, which is currently expected to begin in late Q3 or early Q4 2026.

Ratification and approval of omnibus share incentive plan

The company is pleased to announce that, at its annual general meeting of shareholders held on June 24, 2026, shareholders approved the company's omnibus share incentive plan. The resolution approving the omnibus plan received the support of 99.99 per cent of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. The omnibus plan remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
