Solis Minerals (SLMN) is mobilizing a technical team to its Mostozal Copper Project in northern Chile.

The six-person team is preparing for a drill program, expected to begin in the second week of January.

The Vancouver-based mineral exploration company holds a 100-per-cent option on the property, which is located in the Atacama Desert.

A field office has been established 45 kilometres southwest of the Mostazal Project.

The company plans to drill eight holes for a total 4,000 metres of drilling.

The team is currently conducting reconnaissance investigations to better understand the mineralization distribution. Samples from the historical core will also be collected to confirm previously reported high-grade copper-silver intercepts. 

“This is a historic time for our company-to be on the doorstep of drill-testing a high quality target of significant size in one of the world’s most productive copper districts. Congratulations go to the entire Solis team for putting us in a position to potentially discover Chile’s next copper porphyry deposit,” said Solis Minerals President and CEO Jason Cubitt.

Solis Minerals is unchanged, trading at $0.19 at 10:29 am EST.
