Solitario Files Drilling Plan of Operations for Its Bright Angel Gold - Copper ProjectMarch 10, 2026 8:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireDENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / Solitario Resources Corp. ("Solitario" or the "Company") (NYSE American:XPL) (TSX:SLR) is pleased to announce that it has filed a Plan of Operations with the USFS to conduct core drilling on its Bright Angel gold-copper project in Colorado. Solitario's proposed maiden drilling program represents the first drilling to be conducted on the property since 1970 when Anaconda Copper drilled 11 core holes. At Bright Angel, mineralized porphyry stockwork contains significant values of gold and copper at surface. Mineralization has been traced over an area approximately 750 meters long and up to 600 meters wide.Chris Herald, President and CEO of Solitario, stated, "With both gold and copper trading near all-time highs, and copper being designated as a critical metal by the U.S. government, we are very excited to move this project forward. Results from previous drilling point to a definitive, and potentially significant, gold-copper porphyry target."We believe that Bright Angel represents an alkalic pipe-like porphyry characterized by high grades for both gold and copper with deep roots. Over the years, the industry's understanding of porphyry copper systems has evolved considerably. It is now recognized that an alkalic subclass, first clearly documented at the world-class Ridgeway-Cadia system in Australia, commonly hosts pipe-like geometries, with higher copper and gold grades than calc-alkaline copper porphyry systems common in the Arizona and Chilean copper belts."We look forward to working with the US Forest Service in executing an environmentally sound program that protects surface and water resources. The plan envisions very limited surface impacts with all drill holes completed to state and federal abandonment standards to protect ground water systems."History and Geology of the Bright Angel ProjectDrilling at Bright Angel began in the late-1960s when its initial owner completed 186 very shallow (~16 meters) and widely spaced drill holes. Twelve of the more mineralized holes were deepened to depths of up to 200 meters. Two of the holes reportedly intersected significant grades of gold and copper but are not reported here as Solitario is unable to verify the historic drill hole assay results. However, Solitario's surface rock sampling produced gold/copper grades (see Solitario news release dated January 22, 2026) consistent with the grades in the upper 20 meters of the reported historic drill holes. Drilling will be required to confirm drill hole grades reported in the historic files.Anaconda Copper, formerly one of the largest mining companies in the world, leased the property in 1970 and drilled 11 widely spaced core holes ranging in depth from 270 to 783 meters. Anaconda's exploration program was designed to test for a classic large-scale mushroom-shaped, calc-alkaline copper porphyry system common in the Arizona and Chilean copper belts. Calc-alkaline copper systems tend to be laterally extensive but gold poor.Anaconda intersected significant sections of 0.1% up to 0.3% Cu in six of their core holes but generally did not assay for gold as gold price was fixed at $38 per ounce at that time and its exploration priority was a primary copper resource. Anaconda concluded that the Bright Angel porphyry was not a calc-alkaline porphyry system but continued to hold the lease for 10 years before exiting the mineral exploration business, when the property was dropped.Plans are also underway to conduct a drone magnetic survey and possibly an Induced Polarization geophysical survey in the upcoming field season.Qualified PersonThe scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Walter Hunt, a qualified person as defined by Canadian instrument NI 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.About SolitarioSolitario is a natural resource exploration company focused on high-quality Tier-1 gold, copper, zinc and critical metals (molybdenum and rhenium) projects.
