“Our Planalto Copper Project will be a Mine” explains Lara Exploration CEO Simon Ingram

from Mining Stock Education · host Bill Powers

Lara Exploration President and CEO Dr. Simon Ingram provides an update focused on the company’s recently closed C$33M (about US$25M) financing at C$3/share with no warrants. Ingram says the funding provides several years of runway to advance the Planalto copper-gold open-pit project from PEA toward feasibility by drilling the resource (moving inferred/indicated toward indicated/measured) and completing technical and environmental studies. A European copper producer, Atalaya Mining, invested at the corporate level for a 7% stake with no special rights, alongside other institutions, and management also participated. Ingram stated his belief that the Planalto project will be a copper mine and is currently undervalued, which presents a compelling investment proposition. Near-term catalysts include ongoing drill results and follow-up drilling on the Silica Cap trend into the Atlantica license, targeting potentially higher-grade copper mineralization. 00:00 Intro 01:01 Why Raise C$33M? 01:49 Funding Planalto Workplan 03:00 Market Timing and Pricing 04:15 Corporate Investor Explained 06:08 Atalaya Role and Expertise 07:51 Shareholder Base and Insider Buy 09:44 Drilling Budget Breakdown 10:53 Near Term Catalysts 11:54 Atlantica Trend Upside 13:27 Conclusion https://laraexploration.com/ TSXV:LRA -- OTC:LRAXF Listen to MSE’s first Lara interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN6oqEUsmTk Sponsor Lara Exploration pays MSE a United States dollar seven thousand per month coverage fee.
