Lara Exploration Sees 3km Expansion Potential at Planalto via Atlantica Copper Results

An announcement from Lara Exploration ( (TSE:LRA) ) is now available.

Lara Exploration has reported new exploration results from the recently acquired Atlantica license, adjacent to its Planalto Project in northern Brazil, indicating potential to extend the known Planalto copper mineralization by approximately 3km along strike to the southeast. Relogging and resampling of historical Atlantica drill core, combined with a 2025 soil survey, have defined three northwest-southeast copper-anomalous zones and revealed previously underappreciated oxide copper intersections, including 35.8m at 0.35% Cu and 17.0m at 0.25% Cu from surface or near-surface in two holes, as well as multiple sulfide intervals comparable in style to Planalto. These results, which reframe the exploration potential of Atlantica and highlight untested high-priority drill targets down dip and along the granite-volcanic contact, support the strategic rationale of the acquisition and could materially expand the resource base and project scale if follow-up drilling, planned for late Q1 2026, confirms continuity of mineralization, offering potential upside for the company’s copper portfolio and its positioning in the Carajás district.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:LRA) stock is a Hold with a C$2.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lara Exploration stock, see the TSE:LRA Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:LRA Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:LRA is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (recurring losses and significant cash burn), with only the debt-free balance sheet as a major offset. Technicals are mixed-to-weak (negative MACD and price below short-term averages). Corporate events provide some support due to positive Planalto project updates and expansion, while valuation is difficult to assess given the negative P/E and no dividend yield.
