[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solaris Resources Inc. (TSX: SLS; OTCQB: SLSSF) (“Solaris” or “the Company”) is pleased to report updated geochemical sampling and assay results from follow-up holes at Warintza West within its Warintza Project (“Warintza” or “the Project”) in southeastern Ecuador. Highlights are listed below, with a corresponding image in Figure 1 and detailed results in Tables 1-2. Highlights Warintza West, discovered February 2021, is one of four discoveries made to date within the Warintza porphyry cluster and is located 1km west of and outside the Warintza Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”)¹. The initial reconnaissance holes from a centralized platform have outlined a broad zone of porphyry mineralization measuring 1200m x 700m that remains open. Subsequent geochemical sampling has provided vectors toward potential higher-grade mineralization to the north for step-out drilling. Recent geochemical sampling has identified a new area of strong overlapping copper and molybdenum anomalies to the north measuring approximately 1000m x 500m with soil samples averaging 600 ppm Cu and 80 ppm Mo – this contrasts with the anomaly surrounding the original platform that is defined by strong Mo values at 65 ppm but weaker Cu below 400 ppm This new area of strong soil anomalism represents a potential target for higher-grade mineralization beyond the northern margin of prior exploration drilling (refer to press releases dated Oct 13, 2022 and Feb 16, 2021), including: SLSW-07 (drilled north) returned 686m of 0.46% CuEq² SLSW-04 (drilled northeast) returned 264m of 0.44% CuEq² SLSW-01 (drilled northwest) returned 260m of 0.42% CuEq³ New drill results returned to the south, include SLSW-13, which was drilled southwest and returned 320m of 0.50% CuEq² from near surface within a broader interval of 496m of 0.40% CuEq², extending mineralization to the south where it remains open, and requires step-out drilling This hole expands on previously reported SLSE-10, which was drilled from the same platform to the southwest and returned 220m of 0.41% CuEq² from near surface (refer to press release dated Oct 13, 2022) Mr. Jorge Fierro, Vice President, Exploration, commented: “First pass reconnaissance drilling at Warintza West outlined a broad zone of porphyry mineralization, with subsequent samplin...
