("Latin Metals" or the "Company") - (TSXV: LMS) (OTCQB: LMSQF) is pleased to report that a Social & Environmental Impact Report (“SEIR”) (Informe de Impacto Ambiental y Social – Etapa de Exploración Avanzada) has been approved for exploration drilling at the Organullo Gold Project ("Organullo" or the "Project"), located in Salta Province, Argentina.
