Solitario Discovers 50.2, 47.7 and 12.2 GPT Gold at Surface
DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / February 14, 2022 / Solitario Zinc Corp. ("Solitario") (NYSE American:XPL; TSX:SLR) is pleased to announce that it has discovered significant high-grade gold at surface on its Golden Crest project in South Dakota. High-grade gold was discovered at the Downpour Zone over an area measuring approximately 170 by 70 meters in extent and open in all directions (see Figure 1 and Table 1 below). To date, Solitario has received assay results for eleven surface reconnaissance grab samples in the central part of the Downpour Zone (see map). The average gold content for these eleven samples was 12.6 grams per tonne gold ("gpt"), including 50.2, 47.7, 12.2, 8.1, 7.2 and 5.9 gpt gold.
Chris Herald, President and CEO of Solitario, commented: "These initial surface results at Downpour are stunning. In our team's 40-year history of very successful grass roots exploration, we have never encountered undiscovered gold mineralization with these grades at surface. Equally striking to this evolving story, is the fact that nearly all of the reported Downpour high-grade samples came from rocks exposed in the tracks of a primitive jeep roadbed. This demonstrates the total lack of both modern-day and historical exploration in an area immediately west of the nearby supergiant Homestake-Wharf gold mining district, and strongly suggests that our work to date is literally, just starting to scratch the surface."
