Peru, Colombia and Chile.
• Prospect Generator business model is where exploration funding is mostly derived from joint
ventures, partnerships, royalties and from the sale of projects.
• South America-based management team with a history of exploration success. Lara has
already acquired, discovered and sold nickel, phosphate, potash, coal and copper deposits.
• Current mineral property and royalty portfolio includes: precious metal, base metal, industrial
mineral, agricultural commodity and coal projects at various stages of development.

3TSX-V: LRA JANUARY 2017

partnerships and project sales, thereby greatly
limiting financial risk on any given project.
• Payments from JV partners and proceeds from
the sale of projects have funded activities
through the market slump.
• Having refinancedin 2016, the Lara team is now
well positioned to take advantage of the cyclical
recovery of the commodities markets

Summary and Conclusions
20
• Prospect Generator business model substantially increases the probability of exploration
success, while reducing the cost of failures.
• Lara’s treasury sufficient to maintain momentum through 2017 and beyond, including adding
new prospects like the recently optioned gold and nickel projects in Brazil.
• Management team has deep roots in South America, has made multiple discoveries and has
significant shareholdings in the Company.
• Focus on larger discoveries of interest to miners, where even a minority interest or a royalty
can generate order of magnitude returns for shareholders.
• Liberdade discovery made with Codelco potentially a catalyst for a revaluation of the company
if title problems can be resolved.
• Building a portfolio of self-created royalty interests, with the Maravaia Copper Project
potentially starting to pay out in 2017.
