Latin Resources (ASX: LRS) is a Perth based, Iron Ore and Gold focused Exploration Company with a number of attractive mineral projects in Peru. Latin has rights to acquire a controlling interest in a cornerstone project, has been granted 100% controlled mineral concessions of 33,600 hectares with 39,700 hectares in application in highly prospective iron ore districts and is in the advance stages of negotiation on various other Iron Ore and Gold projects. The Company has a strategy to explore and develop its portfolio of iron ore projects as well as its potential gold and iron mineral sands projects.

In pursuit of this strategy, the immediate Company’s objectives are to establish structured and focussed exploration programs targeting known anomalous areas close to ports and infrastructure.  Then drill the known targets within the existing geological data base where target minerals are highly prospective.

The medium to long term objectives of the Company are to  pursue the discovery of economic mineralisation with the goal of becoming a producer of gold and iron from one or more of its existing concessions or new projects acquired in the future (subject, of course, to being able to delineate an economic ore body).
