(TSXV: LAT) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed articles of amendment to change its name to "Sterling Metals Corp."

The Name Change and Consolidation were approved by shareholders of the Company at its annual and special meeting held on October 20, 2020. The Common Shares are expected to commence trading on the exchange on a consolidated basis under the new name "Sterling Metals Corp." on November 10, 2020, under the Company's new symbol "SAG". A new CUSIP number has been obtained to replace the previous CUSIP number.
