# Solitario Intersects 1,445 Grams/Tonne Silver Over 1.2 Meters; Completes Phase 1 Drilling Campaign at Golden Crest; Awaiting Drilling Permits to Begin Phase 2 Drilling at Ponderosa Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/solitario-intersects-1-445-grams-tonne-silver-over-1-2-meters-completes-phase-1--67e9e7b1-e2a6-40f8-90a6-fbce90a9f26a Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/SLR/news/5458845815055338/solitario-intersects-1-445-grams-tonne-silver-over-1-2-meters-completes-phase-1- Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2025-09-15T12:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Solitario Resources Corp. - Ticker: SLR - Exchange: TSX - Region: South Dakota - Primary commodity: Silver - Secondary commodities: Gold - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-24 10:54:48 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Solitario Resources intersected an exceptional 1,445 g/t silver over 1.2 meters in hole GC-012 at the Golden Crest project in South Dakota. This high-grade intercept represents a new mineralization style for the district. The company has completed Phase 1 drilling and is awaiting permits to begin Phase 2 at Ponderosa. Reasoning: The intercept of 1,445 g/t Ag is exceptionally high-grade and represents a new mineralization style for the project, significantly de-risking the exploration potential of the Golden Crest property. - Positive factor: exceptional silver grade - Positive factor: unrecognized mineralization style - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed - Positive factor: QP sign-off provided - Negative factor: clay-rich alteration zone Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 1,445 g/t Ag is an exceptionally high-grade silver intercept. Evidence · text > intersected 1,445 grams per tonne silver \(46.5 oz\) in drill hole GC-012 **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: The release details specific QA/QC protocols including blanks, standards, and duplicates. Evidence · text > Thorough QA/QC protocols are followed on the Project, including insertion of duplicate, blank and standard samples **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Walter Hunt is named as the Qualified Person who reviewed and approved the release.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
