(“Solaris” or the “Company”)\n \n (TSX: SLS; NYSE: SLSR) is pleased to announce the completion of a significant drilling campaign at its flagship Warintza Project in southeastern Ecuador, alongside key developments that continue to strategically de-risk and enhance the value of this globally significant copper asset.\n \n\n Between January 2024 and February 2025, Solaris completed over 82,000 metres of infill drilling, positioning the Company to upgrade a substantial portion of Inferred Resources to the Measured and Indicated categories. An updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), targeted for Q3 2025, will incorporate this data, adding precision and confidence ahead of economic studies and advancing the Warintza Project toward development. The drilling campaign also included more than 15,000 metres of geotechnical, hydrogeological and metallurgical holes that will support the technical studies for the project.\n \n\n To date, Solaris has drilled over 200,000 metres across the Warintza Central and East porphyry systems. This extensive dataset supports a highly flexible, staged mine plan underpinned by near-surface mineralization, which is expected to materially reduce initial capital requirements. In parallel, improved geological insights have provided an understanding of the highly competitive overburden to ore profiling over the mine life.\n \n\n As Warintza evolves into a near term, tier-one, multigenerational copper project, Solaris is simultaneously unlocking value across its broader 100%-owned land package of over ...
