    Forward Looking and Cautionary Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S.securities legislation, including the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of Latin Metals Inc. (the "Company"). All statements,other than statements of historical fact, included herein including, without limitation, statements regarding future capital expenditures and financings (including the amount and nature thereof), anticipated content, commencement,and cost of exploration programs in respect of the Company's projects and mineral properties, anticipated exploration program results from exploration activities, the discovery and delineation of mineral deposits, resources and/orreserves on the Company's projects and mineral properties, and the anticipated business plans and timing of future activities of the Company, are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that such statementsare reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Often, but not always, forward looking information can be identified by words such as “pro forma”, “plans”, “expects”, “may”, “should”,“budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “potential” or variations of such words including negative variations thereof, and phrases that refer to certain actions, events or results that may,could, would, might or will occur or be taken or achieved. Forward looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of theCompany to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking information. Such risks and other factors include, among others, the ability of the Company to obtainsufficient financing to fund its business activities and plans, operating and technical difficulties in connection with mineral exploration and development and mine development activities for Company's projects generally, includingthe geological mapping, prospecting and sampling programs for the Company's projects, actual results of exploration activities, including the estimation or realization of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the timing andamount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, the costs and timing of the development of new deposits, the availability of a sufficient supply of water and other materials, requirements foradditional capital, future prices of precious metals, tantalum and lithium, changes in general economic conditions, changes in the financial markets and in the demand and market price for commodities, possible variations in oregrade or recovery rates, possible failures of plants, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated, accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry, delays in obtaining governmental and regulatory approvals(including of the TSX Venture Exchange), permits or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities, changes in laws, regulations and policies affecting mining operations, hedging practices, currencyfluctuations, title disputes or claims limitations on insurance coverage and the timing and possible outcome of pending litigation, environmental issues and liabilities, risks related to joint venture operations, and risks related to theintegration of acquisitions, as well as those factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual management’s discussion and analysis and other filings of the Company with the CanadianSecurities Authorities, copies of which can be found under the Company's profile on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.

    Cautionary Note to United States Investors As a Canadian issuer, the Company is permitted to prepare its public disclosures and this presentation in accordance with Canadian securities laws, which differ in certain respects fromU.S. securities laws. In particular, this presentation uses the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource”. While these terms are recognized and required byCanadian securities laws, they are not recognized by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are not normally permitted to be disclosed in SEC filings by U.S. companies. U.S. investors are cautioned not toassume that any part of a “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” or an “inferred mineral resource” will ever be converted into a “reserve”. In addition, “reserves” reported by the Companyunder Canadian standards may not qualify as reserves under SEC standards. Under SEC standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the mineralization can be economically and legally extracted or produced atthe time the “reserve” determination is made. Accordingly, information contained or referenced in this presentation containing descriptions of the Company’s mineral deposits may not be compatible to similar information madepublic by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of U.S. federal securities laws, rules and regulations. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and greatuncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Historical results or feasibility models presented herein arenot guarantees or expectations of future performance.

    Currency All amounts in this presentation are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.

    THIS PRESENTATION IS NOT INTENDED AS, AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE, AN OFFER TO SELL SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.

    The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and do not accept responsibility for the accuracy or adequacy of this presentation, which has been prepared by the Company.

    Comparison of Esperanza 18-ESP-025 drill results with global top 10 copper drill intersections, Q1 2018. Drill hole 18-ESP-025 would be ranked #3. Ranking is achieved by multiplying copper % by intersection meters. Note that the ranking is of projects where copper is the primary commodity and does not take account of other commodity credits. Esperanza has significant gold credits.

    Perhaps more notable, Esperanza mineralization is from surface.

    Copper Projects In Argentina

    Significant Copper Projects in Argentina• There are only 11 significant copper projects in

    Argentina.• All are located in northwest Argentina (San Juan,

    Catamarca and San Juan Provinces).• 1 of these projects is an operating mine• 9 are advanced projects in the hands of mid-tier

    to major mining companies• Esperanza stands alone as a high-potential

    copper project controlled by a junior exploration company.
