Solis Minerals Prepares for Drilling Campaign Amid Rising Lithium and Copper Demand

Solis Minerals is preparing for a significant drilling period in Brazil and Peru as it targets rising demand for lithium and copper.

The company has outlined work at its Mandacaru and Campo Grande lithium targets in Brazil, with a 10-hole, approximately 2,000-metre drilling program planned to test pegmatite continuity and geometry at Mandacaru.

Campo Grande is the second advanced lithium target, where Solis has identified coherent lithium anomalism of up to 276 ppm lithium in soils and 294 ppm in auger samples.

In Peru, Cinto offers near-term copper exposure, with previous channel sampling returning results of 23.4 metres at 0.88% copper, 7 metres at 0.82% copper, 16.83 metres at 0.52% copper and 3.5 metres at 0.95% copper.

The company has secured an access agreement with the local community and describes Cinto as ready for near-term drilling, with an initial 2.5 kilometres of diamond drilling planned to investigate untested anomalies.
