Growth Drilling At The Warintza Project In Ecuador

VANCOUVER - Solaris Resources Inc. reported on a series of additional holes from mineral resource growth drilling at its Warintza Project in southeastern Ecuador. Additional drilling has expanded the growing northeast extension area, which remains open with follow-up and step-out drilling underway. This zone is characterized by near surface, high-grade mineralization, as detailed below, at the northeastern limit of drilling at Warintza Central and represents a priority target for further growth.

SLS-54 was collared at the northeastern limit of the grid and drilled into an open volume near surface, returning 356m of 0.73% CuEq¹ from 50m depth within a broader interval of 1,093m of 0.56% CuEq¹ from surface. This follows from near surface, high-grade mineralization previously reported. Follow-up drilling from existing platforms is underway, with a 260m northeast step-out platform recently completed and a second platform stepping out further to the northeast under construction.

Additional drilling has expanded the growing southeast extension area, which remains open in near surface, high-grade mineralization. SLS-52 was collared on the eastern side of the grid and drilled southeast into an open volume near surface, returning 482m of 0.62% CuEq¹ from 96m depth, within a broader interval of 977m of 0.45% CuEq¹ from near surface that infilled drilling at depth. SLS-53 was collared from a southeastern platform and drilled south into an open volume near surface, returning 176m of 0.78% CuEq¹ from 16m depth, within a broader interval of 957m of 0.46% CuEq¹ from 10m depth that infilled drilling at depth. To date, 62 holes have been completed at Warintza Central with assays reported for 54 of these.

Jorge Fierro, Vice President, Exploration, said, “These final holes expand on two key growth areas with near surface, high-grade mineralization on the edge of resource drilling that remains open. These holes will be included in the forthcoming resource update; further extensions to the northeast and southeast represent priority targets for further growth with step-out drilling commencing shortly.”
