1.4 Billion tonne JORC Inferred Resource @ 5.7 HM Conceptual exploration target of over 4 Billion tonnes 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, Rutile ,Ilmenite and Andalusite have been identified.
The global Conceptual Exploration Target for Guadalupito has been estimated at between 3.9 and 5.1 Billion tonnes with between 3.2% and 8.4% HM (weighted average 4.5 Bt @ 6.1% HM). 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. The Los Conchales conceptual exploration target of 690Mt @ 6.8% HM is the weighted average figure within the range of 620Mt – 770Mt and 3.6% - 10.1% HM. The target was estimated from 15 contiguous polygons each delineated to provide an approximately representative area for each of 15 drill holes which had results to date drilled within a 1,100 hectare area and displaying continuity of geology. Volumes for the polygons were estimated based on the thickness of >1%HM intersections, and the average measured S.G. of recovered samples assigned to estimate tonnage. Grade variation was estimated using 1 standard deviation variation from the average grade of each drill intersection. 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.

LATAM Crude Steel Production
Peru Steel Producers
• Two steel producers in Peru ; SiderPeru (Gerdau ) and Aceros Arequipa
• Gerdau predominately uses imported scrap steel • Aceros Arequipa uses scrap and pellets from
Marcona • Gerdau to lift production at Chimbote from 300 tpa
to 1.2mtpa over the next 5 years • Aceros Arequipa currently produces 700 tpa
Summary LATAM Steel Sector
• Peru forecast to grow 6% - 2012- 2014 • 700m people in Latin America • Strong growth in other emerging countries • Steel continues on sustainable growth path in LATAM • Peru and emerging countries lag in steel production • Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) dominate steel production • Opportunity to provide Magnetite & Pig Iron to Peru and
other emerging countries for steel production

Thank you and Questions Competent Person Statement 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.
