Solaris Resources reports Warintza assay results

Highlights

Additional drilling has expanded the Northeast Extension of the ‘Indicative Starter Pit’ recently estimated at 180 million t at 0.82% copper equivalent (CuEq) (indicated) and 107 million t at 0.73% CuEq (inferred) within the Warintza mineral resource estimate (MRE). This zone is characterised by near surface, high-grade mineralisation and remains open for further growth with follow-up and step-out drilling underway.

• SLS-62 was collared at the northern limit of Warintza Central and drilled northeast into an open volume, returning 168 m of 0.68% CuEq from 102 m depth within a broader interval of 900 m of 0.45% CuEq from surface, expanding on prior drilling further to the east.
• This hole represents the first follow-up to SLS-48, collared from the same pad but drilled to the south, which returned 100 m of 1.64% CuEq from 50 m depth within a broader interval of 852 m of 0.56% CuEq.
• SLS-63 was collared at the northeastern limit of the Warintza Central grid approximately 200 m to the east and drilled into an open volume to the north-northeast, returning 230 m of 1.02% CuEq from 118 m depth within a broader interval of 472 m of 0.76% CuEq from surface.
• This hole follows on SLS-57, which was drilled northeast from the same pad, returning 230 m of 0.73% CuEq from 56 m depth within a broader interval of 926 m of 0.61% CuEq from surface and SLS-54, drilled to the south and returning 356 m of 0.73% CuEq from 50 m depth within a broader interval of 1093 m of 0.56% CuEq from surface.
• Follow-up drilling is underway and aims to test the Northeast Extension zone further to the north and northeast, with assays expected shortly for SLS-64, representing a follow-up hole from the same pad as SLS-62 and SLS-48.

Jorge Fierro, Vice President, Exploration, commented: “Ongoing drilling from existing and newly constructed platforms aims to expand on the Northeast Extension zone, which is one of the key target areas for the expansion of the ‘Indicative Starter Pit,’ along with higher grade, near surface mineralisation being targeted at Warintza East, where results are pending.”
