[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solaris Resources Inc. (TSX: SLS; NYSE: SLSR) (“Solaris” or the “Company”) is pleased to report drill results from the ongoing 2024 drilling program at its Warintza Project (“Warintza” or “the Project”) in southeastern Ecuador. These include the final assays for inclusion in the updated mineral resource estimate which is expected to be released this month. Highlights are listed below with a corresponding image in Figure 1 and results in Tables 1-2. Highlights SLSE-36 was collared at the southeasternmost platform at Warintza Southeast and returned 148m of 0.72% CuEq¹ within a broader interval of 325m of 0.51% CuEq¹ from surface and remains open in strong mineralization, with the final 34m averaging 0.90% CuEq¹ SLS-77 was collared on the northern boundary of the Northeast Extension of Warintza Central and returned 108m of 0.70% CuEq¹ from near surface within a broader interval of 273m of 0.57% CuEq¹ from surface SLS-78 was collared from a new platform 100m to the west and drilled west through leached cap before returning 78m of 0.70% CuEq¹ within a broader interval of 114m of 0.65% CuEq¹ from 72m depth and then entering low grade granodiorite SLS-79 was collared from the same platform and drilled west at steep inclination, returning 78m of 0.60% CuEq¹ from near surface within a broader interval of 248m of 0.50% CuEq¹, ending in strong mineralization SLST-03 was collared approximately 300m south of Warintza Central at the Trinche platform and drilled northwest into an open volume to convert undefined waste within the expected pit shell, returning 312m of 0.62% CuEq¹ within a broader interval of 1,028m of 0.30% CuEq¹ from surface Patrimonio hole 04 consistent with 01 and 02 intersected an approximately 150m thick tabular zone of replacement mineralization dipping shallowly to the west for which the source has not yet been encountered. SLSP-03 was collared at higher elevation and intersected a low grade layer in the host lava sequence before passing into a barren, post-mineral porphyry that intruded and displaced the targeted mineralized layer. Mineral alteration zoning and geochemistry suggests that the core of the mineralized system lies to the south 2024 drill program was recently expanded to 60,000m comprising 140 holes from 80 platforms providing significantly impro...
