Solis Minerals Limited announced an update on the commencement of the second drill rig at the Estrela prospect in the Borborema Province of Brazil. The Drilling Programme: The ongoing maiden drilling programme at Estrela consists of 3,600m for 23 diamond 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 this initial programme will complete before year end now the second rig has arrived on site. Geochemical programme in northern Borborema tenements: Mountain GMT, a local exploration consultancy, has been contracted to complete a surface mapping and geochemical soil sample programme. The area of interest includes eight tenements covering approximately 12,200 hectares of underexplored greenfields ground in the northern Borborema lithium district. The plan is to collect 2,500 soil samples covering approximately 4,000 hectares to be
completed in the first quarter of 2024.
