[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, June 14, 2021 /CNW/ - Solaris Resources Inc. (TSX: SLS) (OTCQB: SLSSF) (\"Solaris\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of maiden drilling at Warintza East. In addition, the Company has defined a major copper porphyry target at Yawi from the further processing of geophysical and geochemical data at its Warintza Project (\"Warintza\" or \"the Project\"), extending the strike length of the Warintza cluster of porphyry targets to 7km. Highlights are listed below, with corresponding images in Figures 1 and 2. A dynamic 3D model is available on the Company's website. Highlights Commenced maiden drilling at Warintza East, located approximately 1km east of Warintza Central, where recent drilling has intersected 1,029m of 0.73% CuEq¹, including 420m of 0.83% CuEq¹ from surface (see press release dated May 26, 2021) Warintza East is one of the five main targets within the 7km x 5km cluster of porphyry targets defined on the property and has a similar expression as Warintza Central, with overlapping copper and molybdenum soil anomalies associated with an underlying high-conductivity anomaly Further processing of the geophysical dataset (see press release dated February 16, 2021 for initial results) has revealed a much more extensive, high-conductivity anomaly at the recently-identified Yawi target, located approximately 1.5km to the east of Warintza East The large-scale geophysical anomaly at Yawi coincides with overlapping copper and molybdenum stream sediment anomalies; field crews are now completing additional sampling and reconnaissance work to define locations for initial drill testing Weather conditions are improving at site and drilling activities are once again ramping up, with eight drill rigs turning, the ninth rig set to commence in the coming days and the tenth rig being delivered Mr. Jorge Fierro, Vice President, Exploration, commented: \"We are very excited to commence the first-ever drilling at Warintza East, targeting the third major copper porphyry discovery within this richly-endowed but underexplored property. In addition, further data processing has revealed a much more extensive porphyry target at Yawi than previously understood with additional sampling now underway.\" (1) No adjustments were made for recovery as the project is an early-stage exploration project and metallurgica...
