## Minestarters Atlas summary

Latin Explore has defined a large 1.8 km x 1.6 km porphyry copper-molybdenum target at its Para project in Peru using 3D geophysical modelling. The target overlaps surface mineralization of up to 1.7% Cu and is set to be tested by an initial 2,000-metre drill program in Q4 2026.

Reasoning: The announcement defines a significant, multi-dataset porphyry target and secures permitting ahead of the first-ever drill program, representing a major near-term catalyst.

- Positive factor: Large-scale geophysical target \(1.8 km x 1.6 km\)

- Positive factor: Convergence of multiple datasets \(geophysics, geochemistry, geology\)

- Positive factor: High-grade surface rock chip intercepts \(1.7% Cu\)

- Positive factor: Drill permit approved for 14 holes

- Positive factor: Target extends to significant depth \(800m\)

- Negative factor: Project is undrilled \(first-ever drill test\)

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: The target is defined by its location within a broader 3 km x 4 km copper-molybdenum anomaly and its relationship to historical exploration by Vale.

Evidence · text

> target lies within a broader 3 km × 4 km copper-molybdenum anomaly

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: The release names a Qualified Person \(Eduardo Leon\) and mentions comprehensive quality control of geophysical data.

Evidence · text

> Eduardo Leon, QP, is the Company's qualified person

Reasoning: 1.7% Cu is a strong surface indicator for a porphyry system.

- Positive factor: High grade for surface rock chips

Evidence · text

> rock sampling has returned values of up to 1.7% copper

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
