LATIN CLAIMS 70,000 HECTARES IN LITHIUM PEGMATITE
DISTRICT, CATAMARCA, ARGENTINA.

HIGHLIGHTS
 Latin Resources Limited (ASX: LRS) announced 09 May 2016 the signing of a binding
term sheet to form a joint-venture between LRS and Lepidico Limited (LEP) which will
seek to acquire and advance lithium projects in Argentina and Peru to utilise the
Lepidico process technology to produce lithium carbonate.
 70,000 hectares in seven exploration tenements have now been applied for in the
Catamarca Province that adjoin two areas totalling 7,500 hectares that together host in
excess of twenty Lithium bearing pegmatite deposits documented by various authors
over the last 50 years.
 The documented deposits in the adjacent areas are pegmatite dykes striking roughly NS
over 50 m to 700 m length, and are up to 8 m thick.
 Past reports identify that Lithium is predominantly present in the adjacent areas as
Spodumene, with individual crystals reaching more than 1m in length. Lithium micas
are also reported in some cases as accessory minerals.
 The documented Lithium bearing pegmatite deposits in the adjacent areas have a
history of small scale past production, having been intermittently exploited for Lithium
minerals and associated Beryl, Tantalum and feldspars during the 1950’s and 1970’s.
 The exploration tenements applied for by the Company host hundreds of outcropping
pegmatite dykes, frequently in swarms (Figure 3), and have reportedly never been
systematically explored for Lithium. Such fertile terrain in proximity to significant
Lithium deposits is considered highly prospective.
 The Company is now working towards controlling the Villisman and Ancasti groups that
host the known Lithium pegmatites that adjoin the tenements applied for.

Latin Resources Limited (ASX: LRS) (“Latin” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that, in line
with the Company’s joint venture initiative with Lepidico Limited, (announced 09 May 2016), claim
applications for 70,000 hectares of exploration tenements have been lodged at the Catamarca
Province mines office. The seven tenements adjoin two areas (the Vilisman Group and the Ancasti
Group) each hosting a number of well documented Lithium bearing pegmatites near the townships of
Ancasti and Vilisman (Figure 2), each located on the eastern slopes of the Ancasti Ranges some 40 km
from the Provincial Capital, San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca (Figure 1).

Argentina.
Pegmatites of the Ancasti Ranges:
Various studies of pegmatites in the Ancasti Ranges have been reviewed: Herrera (1964), Rossi
(1965), Fernández Lima et al. (1970), Marconi (1972), Balmaceda (1982), Balmaceda and Kaniefsky
(1982), Lottner (1983), Acosta et al. (1988) and Galliski (1992a, 1994a, 1994b).
Acosta et al (1988) grouped a series of lithium-bearing pegmatites occurrences in the Ancasti Ranges
into two groups, geographically located within several kilometres of each of the Vilisman and Ancasti
townships.

Ancasti Group, Latin Pursuing
The Vilisman Group hosts at least 8 pegmatite deposits that have evidence of past mining activity. Six
of these are individual dykes emplaced along structures in banded mica schists, while two are formed
as multiple dykes. Most of the dykes outcrop over at least 100 m of strike length with thicknesses of
between 1 m and 5 m. Acosta et al (1988) mentions 11 other deposits in the Vilisman Group that
were visited as part of this work, but cites insufficient data preventing their inclusion in the tabulated
list, despite having observed good mineralisation and workings.
There are apparently fewer identified Lithium pegmatite deposits in the Ancasti group but these are
relatively larger in terms of strike length and width relative to those

Point of interest from todays Announcement

These authors reported that lithium is predominantly present as Spodumene and these crystals can be over a meter in length! What’s more, there’re documented finds of more than 120,000 tonnes of Spodumene within 15 meters of the surface at 12 of Latin Resources’ 20 pegmatite deposits. The Catamarca district is to lithium what the Pilbara is to iron ore. The key difference is that there has been next to no systematic exploration for lithium at Catamarca and the region has only hosted a handful of small scale lithium mines. Low cost producer that is two years away from production It’s not only Latin Resources’ potentially large deposits of Spodumene that will excite investors. The explorer is also shaping up to be among the world’s lowest cost lithium producers after it signed an exclusive agreement earlier this month with Lepidico to use the L-Max technology in Argentina and Peru. L-Max can extract lithium from pegmatites more cheaply and effectively than current methods used today. The low capital requirement and unique design to set up a processing plant using L-Max mean that Latin Resources could possibly start commercial production extremely quickly! Low capex and a quick ramp up to commercial production give Latin Resources an important competitive advantage over the sector.

The Lepidico Opportunity
• Lithium is a growth commodity driven by demand for Li – ion batteries
• Lepidico is focussed on exploration for unconventional sources of lithium
where it can successfully deploy its L-Max technology to:
 Create a substantial new source of lithium supply
 Potentially low operating costs
Lepidico could transform the lithium industry
where supply is currently struggling to meet demand

Could be getting ready to run again - as always time will tell

[SCHUMACHER]

boom and shes off - could be a nice rally coming

[JBmurc]

Good stuff schuy ...long time no here ...good to see your back with a bang

disc- you did know I had a LRS thread ,,,was invested back long ago when they were chasing Iron ore Gold copper etc think I sould out above 10c ....

[SCHUMACHER]

Hi there JB - Yes back after a long spell away - ironically this was the first share investor forum site i joined 10 years + ago and its been an interesting decade of investing to say the least

yes just found your old LRS thred - Guess its appropriate to start one considering they chasing lithium now - lets hope this pans out as I expect it to do - currently trading games being played so its a sit and wait scenario if people can be patient - its one for the bottom drawer if you believe they will bring this to production inside 2 years which is a possibility - Argentina has changed politically for the better so the securing of these Lithium rich tenements will add value to LRS - cheers Schu

[heisenberg]

A lot of smoke but no fire after this most recent announcement. Market doesn't seem too bothered about the acquisition just yet

A lot of smoke but no fire after this most recent announcement. Market doesn't seem too bothered about the acquisition just yet

Yes its not an overnight play - they need to show market they have the leases -tenements signed off by Argentine authorities then it should run - patience required

[SCHUMACHER]

announcement out - looks good in a spud rich province OVER 75 million shares traded already

LRS has MASSIVE potential - with proven pegaite deposits, and can start producing within a short time frame. JORC by end of year
LATIN CLAIMS HISTORICAL LITHIUM PEGMATITE MINING
CONCESSIONS, CATAMARCA, ARGENTINA.
HIGHLIGHTS**
 On 31 May 2016 the Company announced it had made claim applications over 70,000
hectares in seven exploration tenements in the Catamarca Province, prospective for
Lithium Pegmatites.
 Following extinction of a series of abandoned claims by the Mining Authority of
Catamarca, Latin has now applied for additional exploration tenements over 7,051.6
hectares that were surrounded by the initial exploration tenement applications in two
areas, Vilisman and Ancasti, each with past Lithium mining activity and that together
host in excess of twenty Lithium bearing pegmatite deposits documented by various
authors in publications made over the last 50 years.
 Combined estimates of Spodumene content within 15m ofsurface of 12 of these deposits
subject of the latest claim applications are in excess of 120,000 t (Acosta et al 1988,
Balmaceda & Kaniefsy 1982 and other non‐JORC foreign publications).*
* Cautionary Statement: These data are published historical foreign estimates not reported in
accordance with the JORC Code. A competent person has not done sufficient work to verify the data in
accordance with the JORC code and it is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration
work that these foreign estimates will be able to be reported in accordance with the JORC Code.
 These Lithium bearing pegmatite deposits have a history of small scale past production,
having been intermittently exploited for Lithium minerals, and associated Beryl,
Tantalum and feldspars during the 1950’s and 1970’s.
 Analysis of four samples collected by Latin geologists of exposures of spodumene in old
mine workings in three pegmatite deposits within the new claim applications reported
grades of 6.6%, 7.1%, 6.3% and 4.9% Li2O respectively.
