Latin Resources Ltd. signed a binding letter of intent to secure the Geminis lithium mine and Don Gregorio concessions in San Luis, Argentina.

According to the three-stage acquisition agreement, the company is required to make payments totaling US$260,000 and achieve certain milestones to exercise its right to acquire 100% of the project for US$2.0 million.
