Solitario announces results of first three holes on Golden Crest Project

Solitario Resources announced the results of the first three core holes ever drilled on its Golden Crest Project. All three holes intersected significant thicknesses of mineralization, with two of the holes displaying high-grade intercepts. This zone, although currently limited in size due to the lack of offset drilling, is laterally open in all directions. Chris Herald, President and CEO of Solitario, stated: “These core holes represent a true new gold discovery that are potentially part of a major new district-scale extension of the Homestake-Wharf super giant gold district. Considering that these are the first holes ever drilled on our huge 35,000-acre property, they are truly outstanding. Significant gold mineralization over substantial widths with excellent continuity was intersected in all three holes. Importantly, these results also confirm that the multiple high-quality surface anomalies we have generated during the past three years have the potential to have sizable subsurface roots in both grade and size. We also firmly believe the best is yet to come. This year’s program is only testing two of our ten best high-potential target areas. The other eight are still undergoing various stages of permitting with drilling planned on four more in 2025. We are also encouraged that other potential gold horizons below the mineralized Downpour zone are returning anomalous gold and trace element values.. With additional drilling, we will have the ability to vector into significant mineralization in structures and multiple stratigraphic horizons that have been very productive in the historic Homestake-Wharf mining district. All mineralization encountered to date is oxidized.”
