# Solaris Announces Significant New Discovery at Warintza East Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/solaris-announces-significant-new-discovery-at-warintza-east--e2780db5-d794-41e6-9930-fc2f2a7446b6 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/SLS/news/5400444592456166/solaris-announces-significant-new-discovery-at-warintza-east Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2021-07-20T15:28:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Solaris Resources Inc. - Ticker: SLS - Exchange: TSX - Region: Ecuador - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Molybdenum, Gold - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-24 11:16:39 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Solaris Resources announced a significant new discovery at the Warintza East target in Ecuador. Maiden drilling in hole SLSE-01 returned 320m of 0.46% CuEq from surface, including a high-grade 54m interval of 0.70% CuEq. Reasoning: Maiden drilling at a new target \(Warintza East\) returned significant copper-equivalent intercepts from surface, extending the known porphyry cluster footprint. - Positive factor: significant new discovery - Positive factor: maiden drilling at target - Positive factor: intercepts from surface - Positive factor: overlap with existing conceptual pit designs - Negative factor: true widths not yet determined - Negative factor: partial results only \(first 320m of 1212m hole\) Facts used in scoring: 16 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release includes details on standards, blanks, and field duplicates, with assays performed by ALS Labs. Evidence · text > includes the insertion of blind certified reference materials \(standards\), blanks and field duplicate samples. **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The document explicitly states that true widths cannot be determined at this time. Evidence · text > True widths cannot be determined at this time. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The hole SLSE-01 is described as the first hole ever drilled at the Warintza East target, marking a new discovery. Evidence · text > SLSE-01 was the first hole ever drilled at Warintza East ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 16.
