Rhea-AI Summary

Solis Minerals (SLMFF) has confirmed extensive copper porphyry mineralization at its Cinto Project in Peru, with significant channel sampling results including 23.4m @ 0.88% Cu and 16.83m @ 0.52% Cu. The project is located 15km SE of Peru's major Toquepala copper mine.

The mineralization spans approximately 1.75 square kilometers, correlating with a large magnetic low geophysical anomaly indicating widespread hydrothermal alteration. The copper mineralization is predominantly found in breccias, similar to the mineralization style at Toquepala.

The company has initiated planning for an Induced-Polarisation survey following successful geochemical results. Drill target definition is underway, with drilling planned for the second half of 2025. The project's location on the Incapuquio Fault System is favorable for large-scale porphyry copper deposits.

Perth, Western Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 11, 2025) - Latin American focused copper-gold explorer, Solis Minerals Limited (ASX: SLM) (TSXV: SLMN) (OTCQB: SLMFF) ("Solis" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an update on exploration activities at the Cinto Project in Peru.

Summary

The copper mineralisation at Cinto is predominantly seen in breccias, the major mineralisation host at the Toquepala Copper Mine, 15km northwest of Cinto. Geological similarities are evident between mineralisation styles at Cinto and Toquepala. Cinto is situated on the major Incapuquio Fault System which favoured the emplacement of intrusions related to large-scale porphyry copper deposits of Toquepala, Quellaveco, and Cuajone (Figure 1). Toquepala is one of Peru's major copper producers (200ktpa).

Executive Director, Mike Parker, commented:

"The Cinto Project continues to deliver excellent results and we have considerably expanded our porphyry copper mineralisation footprint. Equally exciting is that we are observing styles of copper mineralisation that resemble the main mineralisation styles of the massive Toquepala mine (196,600tpa copper) only 15km to the northwest. Our drone magnetometry geophysics correlates well with mineralisation and indicates potential for scale as well as new areas to follow-up. As a stand-alone project, Cinto is shaping up well as a significant mineralised copper porphyry target. When combined with our advanced targets and planned drilling at our Coastal Belt projects, our copper portfolio is truly outstanding.

This year will be a year of building on all the hard ground work of identifying our drill targets in 2024. We will start drilling at two of our projects, Chancho al Palo and Ilo Este, later this quarter depending on permits, while the Cinto Project will be advanced to drill in second half of 2025".

Cinto Project

The Cinto Project consists of eight tenements totalling 3,169Ha in the highly prospective Cenozoic Porphyry Belt of southern Peru, located some 15km to the southeast of the world class Toquepala Copper Mine (Figure 1). Cinto is geologically distinct from the rest of Solis' tenements which are situated in the older Jurassic-Cretaceous Coastal Belt of Peru (Figure 3).

Results of rock and channel geochemistry sampling programs carried out at Cinto in the second half of 2024 have yielded highly encouraging results that confirm porphyry mineralisation over a broad area. Rock samples were collected from outcropping rocks of interest or on a sampling grid, whilst Channel Samples were continuous samples taken across zones of outcropping mineralisation, usually related to old workings or eroded gullies.

A site with historical workings previously rock sampled during reconnaissance surveys by Solis and reported in July 20242, has now returned 0.88% Cu over 23.40m in Channel 1. Approximately 500m to the east of the reconnaissance site, Channel 6 returned 0.52% Cu over 16.83m. Values of 5.80% Cu over 2.20m are also reported in an area 630m east of the reconnaissance site in Channel 7, whilst a high-grade narrow (20cm) vein and one metre wallrock grading 10.32% lead and 2.31% zinc was discovered in Channel 5 which is 2.5km to the east of the reconnaissance site at (coordinates East 337396 and North 8079489, Figure 6, Tables 1 & 3). Following these initial geochemical and mapping surveys, the Company is planning the layout of an IP survey in various zones to define drill targets.

A strong correlation is identified between copper mineralisation defined in the geochemical program and previously reported magnetic low geophysical anomalies (Figures 4 & 7). In the northeast of the licence, all channel samples and the majority of copper-anomalous rock samples fall within a magnetic low of dimensions 3km x 0.75km with the low core having a surface area of 1.75km2 creating scope for scale. This magnetic low anomaly is interpreted as being caused by magnetite destruction, a common occurrence in porphyry deposits where late-stage mineralising fluids react with magnetic minerals in a host rock, altering them to non- magnetic mineral species. Two further magnetic low anomalies are recognised locally - one with dimensions of 1km x 0.3km to the west of the low described above; and a further zone of 3.5 x 1.0km to the southwest (X and Y on Figure 7). Both areas are yet to be sampled, and the latter has coincident alteration mapped from WorldView-3 satellite studies previously reported2. Based on results to date, both areas are considered to be highly prospective for further porphyry copper mineralisation.

Previous Exploration at Cinto

Prior to Solis acquiring the Cinto tenements, limited systematic exploration had been completed and there are no records of previous drill programs. Solis commenced exploration with a WorldView-3 remote sensing survey, followed up by geological mapping. In 2023 and 2024, reconnaissance rock sampling led to the identification of an area of in-situ copper oxide mineralisation in old workings in the northeast of the property. Several samples returned assays in excess of 1% Cu (highest 7.14% Cu) in a circular area roughly 100m in diameter (Figure 4). In late 2024, Solis completed a drone magnetometry survey that identified areas of low magnetic response coincident and extending beyond the reconnaissance mineralisation3. Previous exploration results are summarised in Figure 4.

Cinto Structural Setting

Cinto sits astride or just south of the regional transcurrent Incapuquio Fault System (Figures 1 & 4). The fault's corridor of influence includes en echelon faults, and subparallel fault structures. In the Cinto area, the fault corridor has an approximate width of 2.5km across its predominant NW-SE strike direction. This fault system is believed to have influenced the emplacement of Late Cretaceous to Early Palaeogene (Cenozoic) granodioritic, dioritic, and monzonitic intrusions as well as related volcanic rocks of the Toquepala Group4. The large- scale copper porphyry deposits of Cuajone, Quellaveco, and Toquepala were formed during this intrusive phase (Figure 3) and are associated with, or emplaced within, volcanics of the Toquepala Group.

Cinto Mineralisation Style

In the reconnaissance area (Channel Samples 1-4, Figure 6), the mineralisation is localised in brecciated altered andesitic tuffs of the Toquepala Group. Quartz veining is seen forming the matrix of grossly brecciated and phylically altered units (Figure 5). Copper oxides are visible in the quartz veining and replacing tuffs in patches. Millimetric size textures on the veins and wallrocks are characteristic of intrusive hydrothermal breccias.

Figure 5: Channel 4 (viewed from north) sampled across brecciated and altered andesitic tuff outcrop exposed by old workings. Width of photo field of view is approximately 7m. Assay results returned over 0.00-5.50m (4.50m linear) are Au 0.011 ppm, Ag 3 ppm, Cu 1.03%, Mo 1 ppm, Pb 128 ppm, Zn 212 ppm.

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1134/240346_figure5.jpg

In the areas of Channel Samples 6-10 (Figure 6), the mineralisation occurs in intrusive hydrothermal breccias that have impacted andesitic tuffs of the Toquepala Group (Figure 2). Brecciation consists of quartz veining that separates and cross-cuts angular tuff clasts. Alteration includes abundant phyllic alteration and silicification. Copper oxide minerals occur in the quartz veins and also in patches and segregations in the clasts.

The above occurrences both resemble various phases of mineralisation at the Toquepala Copper Mine, some 15km northwest of Cinto, where intrusive hydrothermal breccias are a significant mineralisation host. The geochemistry reveals low to sporadic gold values which also resembles Toquepala. Generally low molybdenum values can be attributed to oxidation.

An outcrop of a mineralised quartz vein (20cm wide) occurs in granodiorites in the east of the property (Channel 5, Figure 6) and including 1m of granodiorite wallrock grades 10.32% lead and 2.31% zinc. Channel 5 is 2.5km to the east of the reconnaissance site at coordinates East 337396 and North 8079489. This occurrence is considered as a lateral expression to the copper-dominated mineralisation further west.

Cinto Geochemical Sampling 2024

During 2H 2024, 485 rock samples were collected (Tables 1-4). Of these, 333 were outcrop rock samples and 152 were channel samples from 10 separate channels. Channel sampling was carried out in areas of good to continuous outcrop, usually facilitated by the presence of old (>50 years) small scale surface workings - Channels 1,2,3,4,6,9,10 - or in areas of gully erosion. The 2H 2024 program complements the 45 rock samples taken in late 2023/1H 20242 and brings the total rock sampling inventory at Cinto to 530 samples.

The channels sampled are indicated in zones on the locality map, Figure 6 and results summarised in Table 1 with details in Table 3.

Additionally, 333 rock outcrop samples were analysed in an area of approximately 6 x 2km in the east of the permits. The results from these samples (Table 2 Table 4, Appendix 1) show a correlation of copper mineralisation with alteration (low magnetic response areas) around structures (Figure 7). Table 2 shows the highest Cu assays returned in rocks (does not include channel samples) and their geological context.

Results of the geochemical surveys

Following up on the initial rock geochemical sampling campaign of the reconnaissance site, the channel sampling and rock sampling geochemical results have:

  • confirmed the presence of porphyry style copper mineralisation in favourable structural locations with analogous characteristics to the nearby Toquepala porphyry

  • expanded the area of interest at Cinto with two newly discovered Cu-mineralised zones (Channels 6 & 7-10) 500m and 630m east of the reconnaissance site (Channels 1-4)

  • demonstrated a strong spatial correlation of copper mineralisation with the magnetic low geophysical anomaly that indicates a zone of hydrothermal alteration. Several such areas, particularly to the west of the project, have yet to be evaluated, indicating a potential for further large-scale mineralised systems at Cinto

  • demonstrated the potential for associated polymetallic mineralisation (Pb, Zn, Ag) around the copper-dominated area with the discovery of highly mineralised, narrow structures approximately 2.5km east of the original site (Channel 5) and adjacent rock samples.

Next Steps for Cinto

Based on the geochemistry results, Induced-Polarisation (IP) programs are being planned to define drill targets. Drill permitting, including archaeological surveys, will commence with a target of drilling in the second half of 2025.

Solis will continue to investigate the potential of Cinto by testing the as yet unexplored low magnetic anomalies through a combination of mapping and rock geochemistry. Further areas for IP follow-up and drill target definition are expected to become apparent once all the tenement is explored.

Sampling techniques

  • Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
  • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representativity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
  • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.
    In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
  • 333 rock chip and grab samples were collected in 2H 2024 from outcrops on an approximate 200 x 200m grid over an area of 9km2 in the northeast of the Cinto tenements. Within this area, where visible copper oxide mineralisation was observed, further samples were taken off- grid to outline zones of interest. Coordinate position and assay results of each sample are shown in Table 4, Appendix 1 of this ASX release. The samples are considered to be as representative as possible of the exposure albeit that, by their nature, chip and grab samples do not reflect the overall grade of mineralisation encountered. Samples were representatively hand-cobbed to approximately 2.5kg mass for lab submission. These samples complement 45 samples taken previously (see ASX Release dated 9 July 2024 ).
  • Within the rock sampling grid, 152 channel samples were taken from 10 separate channels of maximum and minimum field length 90.5m and 1.20m respectively. A total of 219.10m of channels were sampled (field length - see below for true length). Channel samples were taken on visible mineralisation exposures that were created by old (>50 years) small-scale workings or gully erosion. Channels 1-4, 6, and 9-10 exhibited old workings that were channelled. Within constraints of practicality, channels were sampled to cross mineralisation strike at a high angle and were designed to represent true widths. The channel samples were adjusted from sampled length to true length where exposure configuration caused curvature of the channel. Channels 1-4 and 6 were adjusted in this manner from GIS plans. Channels 5 and 7-10 are considered linear in the field and were not adjusted. Channel samples were taken in consistent fashion to maintain representative samples. In areas with old workings, usually more friable, the channels were dug approximately 10-20 cm wide by 10-20cm deep. In areas of natural exposure, the channels were chipped to 20-30cm wide by 5-10cm deep. Bulk samples were collected on a tarp. Sample lengths were usually 1.0m or 2.0m, or as short as 0.20m in a vein. Coordinate position and assay results of each channel sample are shown in Table 3, Appendix 1 of this ASX release. The coordinates are considered the centrepoint of the channel sample.

Drilling techniques

  • Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face- sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
  • No historical or new drilling has been reported in this announcement.

Drill sample recovery

  • Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
  • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.
  • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
  • No drilling reported herein.

Logging

  • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
  • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
  • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
  • No drilling reported in this announcement.
  • Rock chip and grab samples were logged and rock type lithologies, oxidation and quantities of, and types of, mineralisation noted. Channel samples are logged in a similar but continuous fashion to construct a strip log of the channel. All channels were logged, 10 in total, for a total of 219.10m of logging (field length) (100% logged).

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

  • If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.
  • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
  • For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
  • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representativity of samples.
  • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.
  • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.
  • Systematic rock channel sampling was taken and separated on a tarp - usually up to 30-50kgs per linear metre. Samples were usually friable rock or chips of <3cm and were coned and quartered to produce samples of 3kgs for lab submission. Tarps and shovels/picks were cleaned after each sampling. Field duplicates were taken across a range of channel sample mineralisation and reported excellent correlation. The sample procedure and preparation is considered appropriate for the nature of the base metal mineralisation tested and its distribution throughout the sample.
  • Rock chip and grab samples taken were considered to be of appropriate size and representativity to ascertain if copper and or precious metal mineralisation is present at the outcrops.

Quality of assay data and laboratory tests

  • The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.
  • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
  • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.

All rock chips were assayed by ALS in Lima. Methods used were total assay of sample:

  • Preparation PREP31
  • Analysis Au-AA23 and ME-ICP61
  • Cu OG-62 for overlimit Cu >1%
  • Pb OG-62 for overlimit Pb >1%
  • Zn OG-62 for overlimit Zn >1%
  • Ag OG-62 for overlimit Ag >100ppm
  • OREAS standards, blanks, and field duplicates were inserted at appropriate intervals and reported within required ranges.

Verification of Sampling and assaying

  • The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.
  • The use of twinned holes.
  • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
  • Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
  • All Solis data is verified by the Competent Person. Channel sample intersections have been checked by alternative company director with prerequisite experience. All data is stored in an electronic database and sample rejects are stored in company warehouses. Competent Person and alternative company director have visited the site during channel sampling and observed sampling techniques and quality control.
  • Channel sample intersections and widths were established.

Location of data points

  • Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
  • Specification of the grid system used.
  • Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
  • All sample locations were captured using a handheld GPS in WGS84 19S.
  • Rock and chip samples are points. Channel sample intervals have their centrepoint as their GPS location.

Data spacing and distribution

  • Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
  • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
  • Whether sample compositing has been applied.
  • No set sample spacing or pattern has been applied due to the preliminary nature of the sampling programme. Exposures of mineralisation were tested where found and not on a regular pattern. The distribution of the mineralisation allows commentary on potential scope of mineralisation but does not imply continuity.

Orientation of data in relation to geological structure

  • Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.
  • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.
  • Channel sample orientation was designed to cross mineralisation at a high angle where possible and appropriate in the exposures.
  • No bias has been introduced in current drilling and sampling.

Sample security

  • The measures taken to ensure sample security.
  • All samples are bagged onsite under supervision of Solis staff, all bags are then sealed and couriered to the relevant laboratories with all relevant submission documentation. All samples once received are logged into the lab and notice of each sample received is sent and cross checked with sample dispatch.

Audits or reviews

  • The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.
  • There have been no detailed external audits or reviews undertaken.
  • Solis has conducted an internal technical review and site visit by the Competent Person and the alternative company director.
