Vancouver, British Columbia--(January 19, 2022) - Solis Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: SLMN) (ASX: SLM) (FSE: 08W) ("Solis" or "the Company") is pleased to provide the following update:
- Solis has retained Amvest Capital to upgrade its US OTC listing to the OTCQB level
- The Quebrada exploration concessions staked by Solis around Mostazal have been granted and are being registered

US OTC Market
Solis is pleased to announce the engagement of New York-based Amvest Capital Inc. to assist the Company with its application to cross-list on the OTCQB Exchange in the United States. The Company formerly held a US OTC Grey Market listing. It is anticipated that an upgraded listing to the OTCQB will provide greater liquidity and a more seamless trading experience for U.S. shareholders of Solis. The upgrade may also provide certain exemptions from U.S. state securities laws or "blue sky" exemptions which may help to further increase liquidity and expand investment advisors' ability to research and recommend investment in Solis Minerals. Amvest Capital is a specialist investment management and corporate finance firm focused solely on the Natural Resources sector and has assisted numerous TSXV and ASX companies with OTCQB cross-listing applications.
Quebrada Applications at Mostazal
Solis Minerals has been granted exploration concessions adjacent to its Mostazal Copper Project [see news release dated June 24th 2021]. A total of 18 concessions, labelled Quebrada 1-18 were applied for, totalling 4,764 hectares. Solis will update it's GIS mapping with the new concessions once the concessions are registered with the Mining Register.
New Peru Application
Solis has made application for seven concessions in the Tacna Region of southern Peru, 5 kilometres along trend from Southern Copper Corporation's Toquepala Mine. The area was subject to a number of competitive applications, which are being assessed by INGEMMET, a department of Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines.
The applications lie along the Incapuquio Fault in southern Peru, which is associated with three large copper-molybdenum deposits, currently in production; Cuajone, Quellaveco and Toquepala.
