Solaris reports assay results from drill program at Warintza Project

Solaris Resources reports assay results from its ongoing 2024 drilling program of 60,000m targeting open extensions of mineralization while upgrading mineral resources and converting waste at its Warintza Project in southeastern Ecuador. Drill results reported here build on the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate, with this release including intercepts of high-grade mineralization partially outside of the MRE in the northwest and northeast sectors. Holes in this release also improve upon modelled grades in sparsely drilled areas of the northwest, north and northeast sectors. Northwest, North and Northeast Sectors: SLS-102: 93m of 1.01% CuEq within 156m of 0.74% CuEq from surface; SLS-103: 87m of 1.23% CuEq within 528m of 0.59% CuEq from surface; SLS-104: 84m of 1.00% CuEq within 485m of 0.77% CuEq from surface; SLSE-54: 258m of 0.52% CuEq within 399m of 0.41% CuEq from surface; Holes SLS-103 and SLSE-54 added new high-grade mineralization at surface partially outside of the MRE in the northwest and northeast sectors, respectively, while all four holes improved upon the modelled grade in their vicinity. SLS-102 is located in the northwest sector where mineralization has been extended to the contact with a tabular granodiorite that shapes the northwestern pit wall. Step-out exploration drilling testing the potential for mineralization within a large area of undrilled soil anomaly on the far side of this body has been completed with assays expected in the coming weeks. Warintza continues to see high drilling productivity from significant infrastructure investment at site and is on track to exceed the 60,000m of drilling planned this year, with over 53,000m drilled to the end of Q3/24. Drilling includes holes focused on open extensions and infill of the MRE, as well as condemnation and geotechnical drilling.
