Solis Minerals Lists on ASX and Updates on Mostazal Drilling in Chile

V.SLMN | December 23, 2021

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 23, 2021) - Solis Minerals Limited (ASX: SLM) (TSXV: SLMN) (FSE: 08W) ("Solis Minerals" or "the Company") is pleased to announce its successful listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) following its very well-supported IPO.

The Company raised a total of A$5.5 million through the issue of 27,500,000 Chess Depository Interests ("CDIs") at A$0.20, with one attaching option for every two shares subscribed in the IPO with an exercise price of AUD$0.30 for a period of two-years from the date of issue.

Upon closing, the Company has in excess of A$7.0 million cash at bank, and is very well placed to commence its highly anticipated maiden drilling program at the Mostazal Copper Project in Chile, one of the largest copper production nations in the world.

CEO Jason Cubitt commented: "We were pleased to see the support of past shareholders and we welcome many new shareholders to the company in the IPO. I'd like to thank the administrative and legal teams in both Canada and Australia for supporting this achievement and, in particular, thanks go to our lead manager in Australia, Euroz Hartleys, for managing distribution of the IPO. We now look forward to a busy field season commencing January 2022 and the potential for a significant new copper discovery."

Net proceeds from the IPO will be primarily allocated to funding the upcoming drill program at the Company's 100%-optioned Mostazal Copper Project in Chile's Atacama Desert where previous exploration has outlined significant near surface copper mineralisation.

Mostazal Copper Project Summary

The Mostazal property is located 80 kilometres (km) northeast of Copiapo, Chile (Figure 1) and within the Domeyko fault - a major structural control for some of the world's largest and most productive copper mines*, including Chuquicamata and Escondida, and 40 km south of Codelco's El Salvador mine (Appendix 1).

The first program of drilling will total approximately 2,900 metres diamond drilling in two phases, is expected to commence in mid-January continuing through until mid-March, and will initially target both porphyry and manto-style copper mineralisation.

As well as testing the copper at near surface, the Company intends to undertake the first-ever drill testing of an interpreted porphyry feeder system underlying a 4 km by 2.5 km, north-south-trending, belt of outcropping copper mineralisation, small-scale mine workings, and geochemical and geophysical anomalies. Four main target areas have been identified (Figure 2) on the basis of historical drilling, geochemical and geophysical surveys, and structural interpretation and modelling.

The Mostazal West target (Target Area 1) is located immediately west of stacked copper-bearing manto lenses and is characterised by the presence of a magnetic low and chargeability high geophysical anomalies. The Company is targetting a potential source of copper mineralisation beginning at a depth of 300 metres - about 100 metres deeper than prior drilling and immediately adjacent to the area of recent exploitation.

The Central target (Target Area 2) is located immediately beneath known manto copper lenses where historical, relatively shallow drilling (Figure 1) to a depth of approximately 150 metres, has encountered wide zones of high-grade copper mineralisation (Table 1). The Company is targetting to penetrate though stacked copper-bearing manto lenses to test for an interpreted buried porphyry/ feeder structure beginning at a depth of approximately 300 metres.

APPENDIX 3

JORC Code, 2012 Edition - Table 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
Sampling techniques	Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.	Sampling across the project has included rock chip sampling of open pit exposure, trenches, rock outcrops, soil sampling and diamond drilling. Soil, trenching and outcrop sampling was undertaken by Sociedad Legal Minera Mostazal between 2005 and 2008, Galileo Minerals Ltd in 2008, and IMT Exploraciones between 2011 and 2013. Diamond drilling was undertaken by IMT Exploraciones between 2012 and 2013. Soil sampling and rock chip sampling was used to identify zones of potential mineralisation. These is no detailed record of how outcrop sampling was completed or the size of the samples. Trenches were sampled on 1m intervals; however the size of the sample is not recorded. Diamond drill holes were samples on either 1 m, 3 m or 4 m, intervals as half core samples.
Drilling techniques	Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).	All drilling completed to date at the Mostazal Copper Project has been diamond drilling. 60 diamond drill holes were completed for a total of 11,381m. Diamond drilling was undertaken using a Boart Longyear LF-900 drilling rig. Drill holes were completed as HQ size (63.5mm core diameter). There is no record of the drill tube type used, i.e. triple tube of standard tube.
Drill sample recovery	Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.	Diamond core recovery was recorded for each sample interval by measuring the recovered core against the drill depth. Diamond core recovery varies between 0.25% and 100%, but is typically averaging 95%. There is no apparent relationship between core recovery and grades. There is no apparent sample bias due to preferential loss/ gain of fine/ coarse material.
Logging	Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.	Rock chip and soil sampling was usually completed as part of a geological mapping campaign. Diamond drill holes were geologically logged at varying intervals based on lithology. Logging included, lithology, colour, mineralogy, texture, alteration, structure, mineralisation and RQD. All diamond drill core has been logged.
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation	If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.	Diamond core was cut using a core saw and sampled as either half core or quarter core. Soil and rock chip samples collected by Galileo Minerals Ltd were sent to Vigalab laboratory in Copiapo, whereas samples collected by IMP Exploraciones were sent to Andes Analytical Assay Ltda in Santiago for sample preparation and analysis. There are no records for rock chip samples and soil samples collected by Sociedad Legal Minera Mostazal. There is no detailed description of the sample preparation methods for the soil and rock chip samples. Diamond drill core was sent to Andes Analytical Assay Ltda in Santiago for sample preparation and analysis. There is no detailed description of sample preparation methods used for diamond drill core. Quality control samples were inserted into each of the soil, rock chip and diamond drilling sample batches and included field duplicates, blanks and certified reference material samples. There is no record of any internal laboratory quality control sampling. Sample sizes are appropriate for the material being sampled.
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests	The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.	There are no assay records for rock chip and soil samples for samples collected by Sociedad Legal Minera Mostazal. Rock chip and soil samples collected by Galileo Minerals Ltd were assayed for copper, soluble copper, solvent copper extraction from pregnant solution, gold silver, lead, zinc, molybdenum arsenic and iron. The analytical method is not recoded. Rock and soil samples collected by IMT Exploraciones were assayed for 39-elements using Inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Diamond core samples were assayed for a 39-element suit using Inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Quality control samples were inserted into each of the soil, rock and diamond drilling sample batches and included field duplicates, blanks and certified reference materials. There is no record of any internal laboratory quality control sampling. ICP-MS is considered to be a total assay method. 6,830 diamond core samples ranging in length from 0.04m to 20m were submitted for SG analysis using Archimedes method.
Verification of sampling and assaying	The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data.	Reported significant intersections have been calculated as length weighted averages by Soils Minerals. There have been no twin drill holes completed. There have been no adjustments made to the assay data.
Location of data points	Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control.	Drill holes have been located using a handheld GPS (model unknown). Down hole surveys were conducted for each diamond drill hole on 50m intervals. There is no description of the survey tool used. All data has been collected in UTM zone 19S coordinates. The topography was surveyed on 1-5m contours intervals in 2012 over the entire project area by contract surveyors (method unknown). Artisanal open cut and underground mining occurred throughout the project area between 1950s and 2006. Sociedad Legal Minera Ltda then conducted a small scale open cut surface and room and pillar underground mining between 2006 and 2008. The surface mining has been surveyed during the topographic survey in 2012, however the underground workings have not been surveyed.
Data spacing and distribution	Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied.	Geological sampling (rock and soil) has been completed on a nominal 200m x 200m grid over the entire project area. Diamond drilling was completed over the central parts of the project area on a nominal 150m x 100m grid. The sampling data is sufficient to establish the general extents and orientation of the near surface manto copper-silver style mineralisation, however the mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth. Sample compositing has not been applied.
Orientation of data in relation to geological structure	Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.	The diamond drilling was completed in three phases. The initial phase of drill holes were angled to the southwest and were fanned off drilling platforms spaced approximately 100m apart on a northwest-southeast line. The subsequent drilling programs were drilled steeply towards the east or northeast to intersect the manto structures at a perpendicular angle.
Sample security	The measures taken to ensure sample security.	There is no detailed record of sample chain of custody between the project site and the assay laboratories Remnant drill core is securely stored at Sociedad Legal Minera Mostazal's property in Copiapo.
Audits or reviews	The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.	There have been no detailed audits or reviews of the sampling techniques Solis Minerals has conducted an internal technical review of the Mostazal Copper Project data.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section)

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
Mineral tenement and land tenure status	Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.	The Mostazal Copper Project is located in the commune of Diego de Almagro, in the Chañaral Province of the Third Atacama Region, Chile approximately 80km northeast of the city of Copiapo. The Mostazal Copper Project consists of eight Exploitation Mining Concessions covering an area of 1,317 ha that were constituted in accordance with the Chilean mining Code 1993. The eight concessions are currently 100% owned by a series of legal Mining Companies (Sociedad Legal Minera), each of which are owned by two shareholders, who are also the owners of Sociedad Legal Minera Mostazal.
Exploration done by other parties	Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.	Sociedad Legal Minera Mostazal completed reconnaissance sampling and mining activities at the project between 2005 and 2008. Galilea Minerals conducted trench and outcrop sampling in 2008 and produced an exploration target for the M-01 mineralised lens based upon previous geological mapping and surface sampling. IMT Exploraciones completed soil, trench and outcrop sampling, diamond drilling, and ground magnetic and induced polarization geophysical surveys between 2011 and 2013. APGC Corp Chile Spa produced a foreign estimate for the Mostazal Copper Project in 2015 using the diamond drilling data, surface sampling and mapping. Santiago Metals Limitada completed geological mapping over the project area in 2016.
Geology	Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.	The Mostazal Copper Project rea consists of fine grained to porphyritic andesite lava flows and breccias of the Jurassic - lower Cretaceous age Sierra Fraga Formation, that are locally interbedded with volcaniclastic sediments. The andesites are intruded by a series of dacite porphyry dykes of Paleocene to Eocene age that typically trend northeast - southwest. The western and southeastern portions of the project area covered by late-stage Tertiary Atacama gravels with thicknesses ranging from a few meters to a few tens of meters. More recent Quaternary age sediments including sand, gravel, colluvium, and silt cover occurs throughout the project area. Mineralisation identified at the Mostazal Copper Project consists of several stacked stratified and discontinuous copper-silver (Cu-Ag) mineralised lenses or 'mantos' within the andesitic volcanic rocks that strike to the north-northwest and dip to the west, subparallel to the host andesite flow banding.
Drill hole Information	A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level - elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole hole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.	A summary of the Mostazal drilling data is included in Appendix 2 of this document.
Data aggregation methods	In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths of low-grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.	Intersection have been calculated as length weighted averages. Selected intersections are reported above a nominal intersection grade cutoff of >0.5% Cu, with a maximum of 3m of internal dilution. No metal equivalent values have been used.
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths	These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. 'down hole length, true width not known').	Calculated intersections are reported as down-hole widths. There is insufficient data at this to enable to calculation of true width intersections.
Diagrams	Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.	The Company has included various maps and figures showing the sample results and geological context.
Balanced reporting	Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced avoiding misleading reporting of Exploration Results.	All analytical results for copper and silver, have been reported.
Other substantive exploration data	Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.	IMT Exploraciones completed ground magnetic and Induced polarization surveys over the project area.
Further work	The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.	Solis Minerals will undertake extensive validation and field confirmation of the various targets identified from the historical data at the Mostazal Copper Project. A comprehensive work program for the Mostazal Copper Project has been proposed and will include additional diamond drilling, relogging and sampling of the existing diamond drill core, geological mapping and down-hole geophysics.
