Solitario Resources announced the discovery of three new zones of high-grade surface gold on its Golden Crest project. These zones are named Holland, Top Dollar and Wildcat. Assay results from reconnaissance rock sampling of outcrop, sub-crop and float yielded gold values as high as 57.9. 50.2. 42.7, 32.3 and 21.1 grams per tonne gold within the three zones. These three zones occur within an area approximately four-square kilometers in size between the Downpour and Sleeping Beauty targets. Assay results from these three zones total 203 samples and represent the final surface grab rock samples collected in the 2023 field season. Notable high-grade samples are presented in Table One below. Additionally, 51 of these samples contain greater than0.2 g/t Au while 27 contain greater than1 g/t Au. Chris Herald, President and CEO of Solitario, stated: “These are among the highest-grade samples collected during a first pass sampling program at a newly discovered target zone in the history of Golden Crest. It’s amazing that after three field seasons, we are still discovering high-quality drilling targets displaying super high-grade gold values on the surface. We think there is a high probability that these three zones may coalesce into a single massive zone with additional work, just like the Geyser, Spur and Zig Zag zones came together. We now look forward to our drilling program at Golden Crest that is anticipated to begin in the first part of June.
