Solis Minerals Ltd V.SLMN

Alternate Symbol(s):  SLMFF

Solis Minerals Limited is a Canada-based lithium explorer focusing on Latin American critical minerals. The Company owns a 100% interest or option to acquire 100% interest in the Borborema Lithium Project in northeast (NE) Brazil, covering approximately 26,100 hectares (ha). The Borborema Lithium Project targets exploration of Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) bearing pegmatites. It also holds a 100% interest in approximately 35,700 ha of combined licenses and applications of highly prospective iron oxide copper/gold (IOCG) and porphyry copper projects in southwestern Peru within the country's prolific coastal copper belt - a source of nearly half of Peru's copper production. Its projects located in Peru include Il Este and Ilo Norte Copper Project, and Cinto Copper Project. The Ilo Norte Project in southern Peru is an IOCG and porphyry copper exploration target. The Company entered into an option agreement to acquire 100% interest of the Mina Vermelha project in the Borborema province.

Solis to Drill Test Source of Copper Mineralization in Chile's Atacama






Vancouver, British Columbia- September 16, 2021 - Solis Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: SLMN)("Solis" or the "Company) is pleased to provide descriptions of five main target areas at its Mostazal project in Chile's Atacama Desert. The property is located within the Domeyko Fault-the main structural control for some of the world's largest and most productive copper mines including Chuquicamata and Escondida-and 40 kilometres south of Codelco's El Salvador Mine.*

As previously reported, the purpose of the upcoming drill program is to locate the feeder or source of copper, silver and gold mineralization encountered at surface over an area of ten square kilometres. An exploitation license currently covers the entire target area and the company has filed for a drilling permit related to this season's planned activity. A drill contractor has been retained and the company is in the process of securing additional field crews.

Five Targets Areas: (see figure 1 at bottom)

  1. West Main Target - located immediately west of the mantos, characterized by the presence of a magnetic low and chargeability high.
  1. Southwest Target - located on the southwest edge of the claim block, with coincident geochemical and geophysical magnetic and chargeability anomaly.
  1. East Target - located due East of the mantos mineralization where surface rock sampling outlined a molybdenum anomaly coincident with a magnetic high and chargeability high.
  1. Central Target - located immediately beneath the mantos, vectored by higher chalcocite (a higher copper grade mineral) coincident with a magnetic high.
  1. North Target - mainly defined by the regional structural setting (NS and EW crossing lineaments) and the occurrence of massive primary chalcocite and high-grade gold (up to 13 g/t) and magnetic high.

The first phase of drilling at the West Main Target, comprising 2,500 metres of core drilling in four holes, will test the centre of a classic porphyry "high chargeability", "low magnetic" geophysical anomaly. The drill target is a North South trending anomaly at a depth of approximately 300 metres, roughly 300 metres wide by 1.6 kilometres long.

Jason Cubitt, Solis' President and CEO states, "We expect to encounter the source of copper mineralization beginning at a depth of 300 metres - 100 metres deeper than prior drilling and immediately adjacent to the area of recent exploitation. This will be the first ever testing of a 'feeder' target and what we believe represents a very large and intact copper porphyry system."

As part of this season's work program, the company will also undertake preliminary reconnaissance work on the 26 square kilometres applied for and contiguous to the original Mostazal claim boundary (see news release dated June 24th2021).
