Solaris Resources Inc. (TSX: SLS) (OTCQB: SLSSF) is pleased to report assay results from a series of additional holes from the ongoing resource growth and discovery diamond drilling program at its Warintza Project in south-eastern Ecuador.
Highlights are listed below, with corresponding images in Figures 1-2 and detailed results in Tables 1-2. An updated dynamic 3D model is available on the Company’s website.
Highlights
Mr. Jorge Fierro, Vice President, Exploration, commented: “Our drilling continues to demonstrate significant extensions of mineralization at Warintza Central with the latest results expanding the drilled envelope to the north and south and further establishing continuity between the eastern and western drilling areas. Warintza Central remains open in all directions. Maiden drilling targeting new discoveries at Warintza East and South will commence this quarter in conjunction with continued drilling at Warintza Central.”

Technical Information and Quality Control & Quality Assurance
Sample assay results have been independently monitored through a quality control/quality assurance program that includes the insertion of blind certified reference materials (standards), blanks and field duplicate samples. Logging and sampling are completed at a secured Company facility located in Quito, Ecuador. Drill core is cut in half on site and samples are securely transported to ALS Labs in Quito. Sample pulps are sent to ALS Labs in Lima, Peru and Vancouver, Canada for analysis. Total copper and molybdenum contents are determined by four-acid digestion with AAS finish. Gold is determined by fire assay of a 30-gram charge. ALS Labs is independent from Solaris. In addition, selected pulp check samples are sent to Bureau Veritas lab in Lima, Peru. Solaris is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.
Qualified Person
The scientific and technical content of this press release and the sampling, analytical and test data underlying the scientific and technical content has been compiled, reviewed, approved, and verified by Jorge Fierro, M.Sc., DIC, PG, Vice President Exploration of Solaris who is a “Qualified Person” as defined in National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The data was verified using data validation and quality assurance procedures under high industry standards. ZTEM data quality was validated by a qualified external professional.
