[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 28, 2020 /CNW/ - Solaris Resources Inc. (TSXV: SLS) (\"Solaris\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report assay results for the second and third drill holes from the ongoing 40,000 metre (m) diamond drill program at its Warintza Project (\"Warintza\" or \"the Project\") in south-eastern Ecuador. The drill program aims to expand the lateral footprint and depth extent of the high-grade Warintza Central zone, discovered by the late David Lowell in 2000. Highlights from the recent drilling are listed below and summarized in Table 1 and 2. Highlights SLS-02 returned a consistent, high grade interval from surface of 660m of 0.97% CuEq¹ (0.79% Cu, 0.03% Mo, and 0.1 g/t Au), confirming the significant extension of mineralization relative to historical drilling first reported in SLS-01 (see August 10, 2020 Press Release) SLS-03 returned a much longer and open interval of high-grade mineralization from surface to the depth capacity of the drill rig: 1,010m of 0.71% CuEq¹ (0.59% Cu, 0.02% Mo, and 0.1 g/t Au), including 716m of 0.75% CuEq¹ (0.63% Cu, 0.02% Mo, and 0.1 g/t Au) SLS-03 was collared approximately 426m east of the first two holes and greatly improves upon the depth extent of known mineralization, with historical drilling averaging less than 200m in depth (see Images 1 & 2) Geological interpretation suggests that the mineralization encountered to date is representative of the 'outer halo' of the porphyry system, with the higher-grade core to be vectored toward with future drilling locations The first three holes were drilled with one rig; drilling is now ongoing with two rigs and a third rig with greater drilling capacity is due imminently Mr. Jorge Fierro, Vice President, Exploration, commented, \"The third hole stepped out over 400m to the east of the first drilling location within Warintza Central (see Image 3) and provided further evidence of the depth extent of the system, which still remains open. In addition, the results continue to support our interpretation that our drilling is confined to the 'outer halo' of the porphyry system. Additional drilling locations will be required to triangulate the high-grade core.\" Mr. Richard Warke, Executive Chairman, commented, \"Warintza Central continues to demonstrate the potential to become a large, high-grade open pit copper p...
