Solis puts Cinto to the drill as copper shows at surface

Solis Minerals (ASX:SLM) has the drills turning at its 100%-owned Cinto Copper Project in Peru, where surface mineralisation is giving the team plenty to chase.

CEO Mitch Thomas breaks down what comes next:

  • Cinto: A 2,500m diamond drilling program is underway
  • At surface: Sampling has returned copper grades up to 8.7%
  • Location: Cinto sits in one of Peru’s major copper corridors
  • Brazil: Lithium drilling is also continuing in paralle
  • Next up: Assays from both campaigns are set to do the talking

The rocks have made their introduction. Now the drill bit gets a say.

About the guest and company
Mitch Thomas is the CEO of Solis Minerals and brings extensive experience across resources, finance, and South America, including time working in Peru with Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO). Solis Minerals is an ASX-listed explorer with copper projects in Peru and lithium interests in Brazil, including its Cinto Copper Project and broader Brazil lithium portfolio.
