VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (“Latin Metals” or the “Company”) – (TSXV: LMS) (OTCQB: LMSQF) announces a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of up to $2.0 million.
The Company announces a non-brokered private placement (the “Financing”) of up to 25,000,000 units (each, a “Unit”) for a subscription price of $0.08 per Unit, to raise total gross proceeds of up to $2.0 million.
