DRILLING COMMENCES AT ESTRELA WITHIN THE BORBOREMA PROVINCE

Solis Minerals Ltd. has provided an update on commencement of drilling activities at the Estrela prospect in the Borborema province of Brazil.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Solis has commenced a 3,600m diamond drill program on its Estrela prospect located in the emerging Borborema Lithium Province.
• The first of two large capacity track mounted rigs onsite and drilling the first pegmatite target which previously returned rock chips of up to 7.6% Li2O1.
• Multiple outcropping pegmatites have been identified at Estrela and will be tested as part of this initial program.
• Four separate outcropping pegmatite bodies have been confirmed to be spodumene bearing, representing over 1.5km of surface strike extension.
• Pad selection and preparation works are now underway at Mina Vermelha prospect for an additional 1,300m diamond drill program to be conducted in parallel with the Estrela drilling program.

Executive Director, Matthew Boyes, commented:

"Solis is exploring the lithium potential within the Borborema Province, with primary targets at Estrela and Mina Vermelha, both located within 15km of the town of Parelhas, where the company established a base to facilitate operations and to engage with local communities.

"Drilling has now commenced at the Estrela prospect. Early results from surface samples appear to be highly prospective with at least four different spodumene rich pegmatite outcrops sampled. All samples returned high grades of lithium from the artisanal workings, from pegmatites up to 30m in apparent thickness (Figure 2). The purpose of this drill program is to demonstrate continuity of mineralisation and volume down dip and along strike across the tenement. The first track mounted rig has commenced drilling on site, with a second machine scheduled to arrive before the end of the October. This program will maximise the chance of proving the potential at Estrela in a rapid timeframe."

The Drilling Programmes

The maiden drilling program at Estrela consists of twenty-three drillholes and will target four outcropping pegmatite bodies with identified spodumene in rock chip samples. The outcropping pegmatites have been mapped over a strike distance of greater than 1.2km with surface expressions exhibiting widths up to 30m in artisanal workings.

Drillholes are designed to intersect the pegmatite bodies at between 60-120m below surface with the scope of demonstrating the bodies have potential to host economically viable volumes and grades of mineralisation. Solis expects the first program will require two months to complete with the addition of a second rig scheduled to arrive on site in the fourth week of October.

An additional 1,420m program consisting of eight holes has also been designed for the Mina Vermelha prospect. The main pegmatite bodies located in the southern and central zones of the known outcropping pegmatites will be tested in this maiden program. A second drill is now being mobilised and is scheduled to arrive in late October.

About Solis Minerals Ltd.

Solis Minerals is an emerging lithium explorer focusing on Latin American critical minerals.

The Company owns a 100% interest or option to acquire 100% interest in the Borborema Lithium Project in NE Brazil, covering 26,100ha.

Brazil is rapidly growing in global importance as an exporter of lithium to supply increasing demand of battery manufacturers. Both projects cover highly prospective, hard-rock lithium ground on which early-stage reconnaissance mapping and sampling have verified. Drilling programs are either underway or due to commence shortly.

In addition, Solis also holds a 100% interest in 35,700ha of combined licences and applications of highly prospective IOCG (iron oxide copper/gold) and porphyry copper projects in southwestern Peru within the country's prolific coastal copper belt - a source of nearly half of Peru's copper production.
