Guaneros Drone Magnetometry and Geochemistry
Identifies High Priority Targets
HIGHLIGHTS
dot Drone magnetic anomalies have been outlined in favourable geological and
structural settings at Guaneros Project, Peru
dot Rock grab samples, in a zone of alteration associated with one of the magnetic
anomalies, returned anomalous copper and gold values
dot The combination of magnetometry, geochemistry and mapping has established
Guaneros as a high priority exploration area
dot Identified anomalies are anticipated to be followed up, where practical, with
ground based Induced Polarisation (IP) surveys to assist with the final target
and drill design programmes
dot Geochemical sampling and mapping will continue to gain a better
understanding of alteration and mineralisation styles present and assist with
targeting of the first drill programmes
dot Guaneros is the fourth of five Solis project areas being progressed to drill status
for copper porphyry targeting in Southern Peru and is situated on the
prospective Coastal Belt between the Ilo Este and Chancho Al Palo drill targets
dot Drilling of the portfolio of targets is being planned to commence in Q4 and
continue through 2025
Latin American focused copper-gold explorer, Solis Minerals Limited (ASX: SLM) ("Solis"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce an update on exploration activities at the
Guaneros Project situated in the prospective Coastal Belt of southern Peru (Figure 1).
Solis has completed a drone magnetometry survey over its application areas known as the
Guaneros Project (Figure 2). The survey shows magnetic anomalies in areas close to the
intrusive batholith contact with similar magnetic responses to those seen at Ilo Este (Figure
3). Additionally, two rock samples from outcrops north of the Guaneros southern magnetic
anomaly returned copper assays of 0.37% Cu and 0.14% Cu, and gold results of 0.17g/t Au
and 0.11g/t Au respectively.
Executive Director Mike Parker commented:
"The results of the drone magnetometry have made a highly significant contribution to our
understanding of settings for potential mineralisation in the prospective Coastal Belt.
"At Guaneros, similar magnetic signatures to those associated with known mineralisation at
nearby Ilo Este are evident. Rock samples in the area have returned highly anomalous copper

and gold values associated with alteration akin to porphyry style mineralisation. We will
continue to complement our knowledge, with ground investigations and further geophysics
where appropriate, as we develop a clear roadmap to permitting and drilling.
"The Guaneros Project, along with the neighbouring Ilo Este and Chancho al Palo Projects,
have developed into a major focus for our copper exploration in South Peru. We look forward
to progressing our permitting and drilling".

Survey Details
Peruvian geophysical contractors Real Eagle Explorations completed 360km of drone lines
from 6 to 20 August 2024. A GEM GSMP-25u mobile magnetometer was deployed supported
by a Matrice 300RTK drone (Figure 2). The base station was a GEM GSM-19Wv7.0
Overhauser. 200m space lines, with appropriately spaced tie-lines, were flown at a maximum
velocity of 28km/h with an altitude range of 30-80m above ground.

Interpretation and Observations
For purposes of interpretation, Solis has combined magnetic data from three separate
magnetic surveys in the area (Ilo Este, Solis Ilo Este and Guaneros). The datasets should not
be considered as totally compatible due to differences in the acquisition method and field
conditions at the time. Identification of areas of high and low magnetic response are however
considered to provide a valuable guide to the underlying geology of the area, particularly when
combined with extensive ground-truthing at Ilo Este. The combined results are shown in
Figure 3, which reflects the unprocessed data of Total Field strength in the three areas
surveyed.
Figure 3 shows an area of low magnetic response (labelled as Low Mag Trend and indicated
with a white line) along the margins of the Cretaceous batholith (in red). This appears to be
due to alteration and is largely coincident with hornfels, an altered rock, mapped at Ilo Este
and in the south-east corner of Guaneros.
At Ilo Este, the principal drill target, as identified by magnetic and IP anomalies, is outlined in
yellow and shows an overprint of the low magnetic response margin by a later event with a
magnetic anomaly. Field mapping has shown that this later event consists of quartz
microdiorite porphyry intrusions, some with associated surface copper oxides observed.1
A review of the magnetic response at Guaneros shows a similar overprint (outlined in yellow),
identified as the Southern Anomaly, as well as other discrete anomalies on the batholith
margins, outlined in light blue. Black lines represent structures and those that intersect at high
angles, as in the area of magnetic anomalies described above, appear to be more favourable
as potential mineralisation sites.2
The Guaneros magnetic data set will be further processed in due course using Magnetic
Vector Inversion techniques to aid interpretation and follow-up programs, likely to include an
IP survey.

Correlation with Rock Geochemistry
Rock samples collected approximately 1km north-west of the Guaneros Southern Anomaly
(Figure 4) with visible copper oxide mineralisation and alteration were reported.3
The sample areas are located in an area of low magnetic response indicating potential
alteration. Subsequent assaying returned values of anomalous copper and gold (refer Figures
5 and 6, and Table 1).
Figure 5: Hornfels with fine quartz veinlets, weak Figure 6: Hornfels, some with secondary biotite,
disseminated biotite, Fe oxides (goethite) in with green and black copper oxides in fractures
associated with quartz. Multiple generations of
fractures, green Cu oxides (malachite) and black Cu
oxides in fractures and disseminated fine quartz veining indicate more than two
(262120E, 8060419N) hydrothermal events (262100E, 8060641N)
Other rock samples collected on structures approximately 2km north-northeast of the
Southern Anomaly returned background values of Cu and Au (see Figure 4 and Table 1).
This demonstrates the potential influence of the proximity of the Southern Anomaly to
mineralisation and the pathfinder value of rock geochemistry in the area.

Note: The mineralisation identified, and its associated alteration, is considered a "pathfinder" exploration
indicator for the potential presence of associated porphyry copper mineralisation in the tenements. Such
mineralisation and alteration do not guarantee the presence of associated porphyry mineralisation and
thus the significance of the assays and images are strictly in the context of exploration potential. The
nature of grab samples implies that they are not necessarily representative of broader mineralisation,
nor is the presence of such broader mineralisation implied.

* Dependent upon securing permits from authorities
Drone Magnetometry surveys are over 70% completed at Cinto. Follow-up with mapping and
IP surveys are planned to enable drill permitting to initiate in early 2025 for drilling to
commence later in the year.
Interpretation of the magnetic survey results at Guaneros is underway, and evaluations will be
conducted of which areas are suitable for IP surveys. Drill permitting is planned to start in
Q1/25 to enable drilling at the end of the year.
Guaneros is partially covered with recent sediments that effectively block IP surveys due to
conductive beds. This is also the case at Regional Norte. Some drill targeting may depend
solely on magnetic data, structural, and mapping interpretations.
Regional Norte Phase 1 consists partly of a series of permits acquired by Solis4 in 2023, as
shown in Figure 7. These permits have aerial magnetic data, which has been reprocessed
using modern software to identify areas of high magnetic response that may be linked with
alteration and porphyry copper mineralisation. Mapping and structural interpretation in these
specific areas has identified four drill targets S1-4 (Figure 7). The area is not considered
suitable for IP surveys due to conductive cover. Drill permitting will start in due course to enable
drill programs to take place in Q1/26.
Additionally, the Company continues to review targeted lithium and copper opportunities
throughout South America.
