Solaris significantly expands Warintza East discovery

Highlights:

Warintza East was discovered in July 2021, with eight holes covering the overlapping periphery included in the Warintza Central mineral resource estimate (MRE) in April 2022. These follow-up drilling results significantly expand the drilled dimensions of the Warintza East footprint to the east and southwest, with the deposit remaining entirely open towards strong soil anomalism to the northeast and southeast.

• SLSE-15 was collared in the middle of the Warintza East grid and drilled east into a partially open volume, returning 204 m of 0.60% CuEq² within a broader interval of 910 m of 0.40% CuEq² from near surface, extending mineralisation to the east where it remains open.
• SLSE-14, stepped out approximately 250 m from the eastern limit of the grid and drilled northwest into an open volume, returning 292 m of 0.50% CuEq² within a broader interval of 694 m of 0.40% CuEq² from near surface, extending mineralisation in this direction where it remains open.
• SLSE-12 was collared at the eastern limit of the grid and drilled southwest into an open volume, returning 48 m of 0.53% CuEq² within a broader interval of 508 m of 0.40% CuEq² from surface, extending mineralisation in this direction.
• SLSE-13 was collared from the same platform and drilled southwest into an open volume, returning 104 m of 0.45% CuEq² within a broader interval of 618 m of 0.29% CuEq² from surface, expanding the footprint to the south where it remains open.
• SLSE-10 and SLSE-11 were collared in the overlapping portion with Warintza Central and drilled northwest into partially open volumes, returning 282 m of 0.53% CuEq² and 270 m of 0.55% CuEq², respectively, within broader intervals from near surface.
• Drilling to date confirms Warintza East as a significant porphyry deposit which remains open for expansion in multiple areas, with assays pending from a series of extensional holes to the northeast, east, and south.

Jorge Fierro, Vice President, Exploration, comments:

“Drilling to date covers only a small portion of the Warintza East discovery, which represents a target for major resource growth. Further extensional and step-out drilling is planned to the east and southeast with a 400 m step-out platform located on the southern margin of the drill grid targeting strong soil anomalism in this area.”
