October 25, 2021 – Vancouver, B.C. – Solaris Resources Inc. (TSX: SLS; OTCQB: SLSSF) (“Solaris" or the “Company") is pleased to report assay results from a series of additional holes from ongoing resource growth and discovery drilling programs at its Warintza Project (“Warintza” or “the Project”) in southeastern Ecuador.

Highlights are listed below, with corresponding images in Figures 1-3 and detailed results in Tables 1-2. A dynamic 3D model is available on the Company’s website and will be updated to incorporate the most recent results.

Highlights

  • Eastern extension drilling has increased the strike length of Warintza Central to 1,350m where it now overlaps the western limits of Warintza East
  • SLS-33 was drilled from Warintza Central into a partially open volume to the north, returning 722m of 0.69% CuEq¹, including 426m of 0.85% CuEq¹ from 46m depth, infilling and extending mineralization to the north in this area
  • SLS-34 was collared at the northeastern limit of Warintza Central and drilled east into an entirely open volume, returning 660m of 0.47% CuEq¹, including 242m of 0.67% CuEq¹ from 52m depth, significantly extending mineralization to the east where it now partially overlaps Warintza East
  • SLSE-02, the second hole at Warintza East, was collared approximately 1,300m east of Warintza Central and drilled northwest toward SLS-34, returning 320m of 0.48% CuEq¹ from surface within a broader interval of 1,160m assaying 0.25% CuEq¹, partially overlapping SLS-34
  • SLSE-01 (previously reported September 27, 2021) was collared from the same platform as
  • SLSE-02 but drilled to the southwest, returning 396m of 0.42% CuEq¹ from surface within a broader interval of 1,213m assaying 0.28% CuEq¹
  • Warintza East is the third major copper porphyry discovery within the Warintza cluster; each of the first two holes have returned long intervals of mineralization with the highest grades starting at or near surface reflecting the vertical zonation in the system

Mr. Jorge Fierro, Vice President, Exploration, commented: “We are very proud to continue the great work of the late David Lowell with our first two holes confirming Warintza East as the third major copper porphyry discovery within the 7km x 5km Warintza porphyry cluster. Our drilling fleet has now been fully reoriented to pursue an aggressive growth strategy via step-out and extensional drilling as we prepare to test our next targets for further discoveries.”

Technical Information and Quality Control & Quality Assurance

Sample assay results have been independently monitored through a quality control/quality assurance (“QA/QC”) program that includes the insertion of blind certified reference materials (standards), blanks and field duplicate samples. Logging and sampling are completed at a secured Company facility located in Quito, Ecuador. Drill core is cut in half on site and samples are securely transported to ALS Labs in Quito. Sample pulps are sent to ALS Labs in Lima, Peru and Vancouver, Canada for analysis. Total copper and molybdenum contents are determined by four-acid digestion with AAS finish. Gold is determined by fire assay of a 30-gram charge. In addition, selected pulp check samples are sent to Bureau Veritas lab in Lima, Peru. Both ALS Labs and Bureau Veritas lab are independent of Solaris. Solaris is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein. ZTEM data quality was validated by a qualified external professional using data validation procedures under high industry standards. Analytical data for the surface samples collected are from recent interpretations derived from ZTEM data and from previous operators as detailed in the technical report entitled, “Resource Estimate of the Warintza Central Cu-Mo Porphyry Deposit” prepared by Equity Exploration Consultants Inc. with an effective date of December 13, 2019, and available on the Company’s SEDAR profile and website. The drillhole data has been verified by Jorge Fierro, M.Sc., DIC, PG, using data validation and quality assurance procedures under high industry standards.
