Conceptual exploration target of 2 Billion tones of mineralized sediments *

Magnetite with a low Titanium .

Gold grades of potential economic significance have been encountered.

Discrete liberated mineral grains of recoverable size of Zircon, Ilmenite , and Andalusite have been identified.

*On 9 and 10 May 2011 Latin announced a conceptual exploration target of 2 billion tons of mineralised sediment at Guadalupito (within a range 2.0-

2.6 billion tones). This conceptual exploration target was based on an estimated area of 6000 hectares of prospective sediments generated from

detailed field mapping, a mineralised depth of 20 m as suggested by initial test drilling and an estimated S.G. of 1.8-2.2. Work conducted at

Guadalupito to date highlights good potential for economic content of: Magnetite (3.5% - 15.1%) ,Andalusite (5.3% – 16.5%) ,Gold (6 - 556 mg/m3)

and potentially economic content of: Monazite (REE) (trace – 1.7%) ,Zircon (trace – 1.1%) ,Ilmenite (trace – 2.8%) ,Wolframite (trace). The potential

quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further

exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Thank You and Questions

The information in this report that relates to Geological and Geochemical Data, Exploration Results, Conceptual Exploration Target, Mineral Resources, or Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Mr Andrew Bristow, a full time employee of Latin Resources Limited’s Peruvian subsidiary. Mr Bristow is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralization and the type of deposit under consideration to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the December 2004 edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code). Mr Bristow consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which they appear.

*On 9 and 10 May 2011 Latin announced a conceptual exploration target of 2 billion tons of mineralised sediment at Guadalupito (within a range 2.0-2.6 billion tones). This conceptual exploration target was based on an estimated area of 6000 hectares of prospective sediments generated from detailed field mapping, a mineralised depth of 20 m as suggested by initial test drilling and an estimated S.G. of 1.8-2.2. Work conducted at Guadalupito to date highlights good potential for economic content of: Magnetite (3.5% - 15.1%) ,Andalusite (5.3% – 16.5%) ,Gold (6 - 556 mg/m3) and potentially economic content of: Monazite (REE) (trace – 1.7%) ,Zircon (trace – 1.1%) ,Ilmenite (trace – 2.8%) ,Wolframite (trace).

The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
