Highlights

  • Solis Minerals completes first drill hole at Chancho al Palo with visible copper mineralisation
  • Assay results expected by end of July, program wraps in 3–4 weeks
  • Focus shifts fully to ASX listing for strategic and capital deployment reasons

Solis Minerals Ltd (ASX:SLM) is gaining attention for its strategic exploration initiatives and decisive market positioning, as the company makes significant strides at its copper project in Peru and pivots fully towards the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

Drilling Milestone in Peru

Solis Minerals has successfully completed the first drill hole at its Chancho al Palo Project in Peru, reaching a depth of 600 metres. The company confirmed the presence of visible copper mineralisation from around 180 metres downhole—an encouraging sign for the porphyry-style system being targeted.

CEO Mitch Thomas, speaking from the site, emphasized the significance of encountering mineralisation in the first drill hole. While this represents a positive start, the company awaits assay results, expected by the end of July 2025, to determine the full potential of the intercepts.

The current drilling campaign is expected to conclude in the next three to four weeks, with all efforts now concentrated on exploration outcomes that could redefine the project’s scope.

Shift in Market Focus to ASX

In a major strategic decision, Solis Minerals is withdrawing its listing from the TSX, opting to concentrate exclusively on the ASX. According to Thomas, this move is designed to optimise resource allocation and align with the company’s shareholder base. The transition enables a more streamlined capital deployment, particularly towards exploration initiatives in Peru.

The ASX has become the company’s primary platform, reflecting a broader trend among junior explorers prioritising visibility and funding efficiency in Australia's well-established capital markets.

Future Exploration Plans

Beyond Chancho al Palo, Solis Minerals is preparing for additional activity at its Ilo Este Project. Planning is underway, signalling the company’s continued commitment to unlocking value across its Peruvian portfolio.

With a renewed operational focus, strong geological indicators, and an aligned listing strategy, Solis Minerals is positioning itself for impactful progress in the months ahead.
