Detailed Insights from Cinto Survey

The recent IP survey at Cinto was conducted along eight lines, spanning a significant portion of the project. This method focused on detecting subsurface electrical resistivity and chargeability—key indicators of mineralisation. The survey revealed higher sulphide content concentrated toward the northwest zone. Anomalies here showed pronounced chargeability extending deeper underground, aligned with structural trends of the Incapuquio fault system.

Complementing this, the resistivity data pinpointed areas of potential alteration, particularly where copper oxide breccia outcrops are present. These observations help delineate two zones that could represent significant mineral targets, based on both their physical signatures and surface mineral evidence.

Strategy for Upcoming Drilling Phase

Solis has outlined a structured plan to assess the newly identified zones. The next drilling campaign aims to intersect zones where multiple geological indicators—chargeability anomalies, resistivity contrasts, and magnetic lows—converge. This integrated exploration model increases confidence in targeting mineralised structures.

Preparation for the drilling program is already underway. The company has initiated the permitting process, focusing on the Ficha Technica Ambiental submission. This process is expected to pave the way for establishing multiple drill pads, with field activities projected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Broader Exploration Portfolio in Motion

Beyond Cinto, Solis is actively exploring additional copper-gold prospects. Fieldwork continues at the Chancho al Palo prospect, while operations at Ilo Este are expected to begin soon. These concurrent initiatives position Solis for a dynamic exploration calendar, reinforcing its commitment to uncovering copper-rich systems across Peru.

FAQ

Q1: Where is Solis Minerals focusing its current exploration efforts?
The company is currently advancing exploration at its Cinto Project in southern Peru and preparing to drill at other sites including Chancho al Palo and Ilo Este.

Q2: What geological techniques has Solis used to identify drill targets?
Solis combined induced polarisation survey data with magnetometry and geochemical data to define high-potential drill areas.

Q3: When is the next phase of drilling expected at Cinto?
Drilling at Cinto is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025, following the completion of environmental permitting.
