TORONTO, ONTARIO - Latin American Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LAT) (the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that Mr. Miles Rideout has been appointed the Corporation's new President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Rideout will be based in the Corporation's Mendoza, Argentina office.
Mr. Rideout was previously the Business Development Manager for Latin America for Quantec Geoscience Limited ("Quantec"). While employed by Quantec for 23 years, Mr. Rideout has acquired broad work experience in the fields of mineral exploration, management and corporate development. He established Quantec's first South American company and has had a leading role in the development and management of Quantec's business entities in Latin America. His technical experience includes more than 600 geophysical exploration and engineering projects in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Peru and other countries. This history represents productive relationships with hundreds of exploration, mining and energy companies operating in the following environments and sectors: porphyry Cu/Au/Mo, epithermal precious metal, skarn and IOCG, VMS, Sedex, ultramafic and laterite nickel, uranium, lithium, geothermal energy, hydrocarbon and water resource.
Richard Boulay, Chairman stated, "speaking on behalf of all of us at the Corporation, we are extremely pleased that Mr. Rideout has accepted this opportunity and we look forward to working with him to advance our projects. Paso Yobai, our flagship gold project in Paraguay has already been defined as a 100 square km high grade epithermal gold system that is ready for definition drilling and bulk sample production. The addition of Miles Rideout to our development team completes the corporate reorganization that we believe is necessary to fast track development at Paso Yobai. We also wish to thank Mr. Waldo Perez, the former interim President and CEO of the Corporation, for his outstanding services to the Corporation. Mr. Perez will continue as a director of the Corporation."
