Terminates Minority Equity Investment, Pursues Focused Warintza Strategy
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Solaris Resources Inc. (TSX:SLS; NYSE:SLSR) (“Solaris” or the “Company”) announces the voluntary termination of the previously announced minority equity investment intended to support the growth of the Warintza Project (“Warintza” or “the Project”) in Ecuador, including the potential major purchase of an adjacent asset. After four months of Canadian regulatory review in an evolving environment, approval has not been obtained and the transaction no longer adequately reflects market value. The Company remains funded for its 2024 and 2025 Warintza baseline programs and key deliverables with an additional US$40 million available through the offtake financing package announced in December and will pursue a focused strategy that maximizes long-term shareholder value with enhanced strategic flexibility.
