Strengthening Governance Through Auditor Appointment

Following a competitive selection process, Solis Minerals has appointed HLB Mann Judd as its new external auditor. This decision plays a central role in the company’s strategic realignment, particularly supporting its recently completed re-domiciliation from Canada to Australia.

The move comes after the company’s delisting from the TSX Venture Exchange, which took effect on June 23, 2025. This transition to a single listing on the ASX is expected to sharpen investor focus and enable more streamlined governance practices. The appointment of HLB Mann Judd is pending shareholder ratification at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

HLB Mann Judd brings extensive experience in auditing exploration-focused companies, particularly those progressing toward production. Its strong presence and expertise in South America further align with Solis Minerals’ geographical operations. The transition follows the formal resignation of the previous auditor, Davidson & Company LLP, with all documentation filed on SEDAR+ in Canada.

Drilling Milestone at Chancho al Palo

On the exploration front, Solis Minerals has successfully completed its first diamond drill hole at the Chancho al Palo copper-gold prospect in southern Peru. This marks a milestone in the company's maiden drilling campaign targeting high-potential mineral systems within the prolific IOCG belt of the Peruvian coast.

The hole, designated CAP-001-2025, reached a depth of 713 metres. Notably, iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation was identified at 184 metres, with visible chalcopyrite—a key copper indicator—spotted. From 451 metres onward, porphyry-style mineralisation was encountered, culminating in a stronger IOCG breccia zone from 586 metres.

One of the most compelling indicators was the logging of visible gold at 620 metres, underscoring the area’s potential for significant resource development. The results from this hole, which is part of a broader program aimed at unlocking a large copper-gold system, are now pending assay confirmation.

Strategic Realignment for Future Growth

The dual developments—the appointment of a new auditor and the successful progress at Chancho al Palo—reflect Solis Minerals’ broader growth and transformation agenda. With a sharper operational focus and promising exploration outcomes, the company is positioning itself for a new phase of value creation on the ASX.
