Solis Minerals Ltd (ASX:SLM, OTCQB:SLMFF) CEO Mitch Thomas spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's active drilling programs across Brazil and Peru, including work at the Campo Grande lithium project following its acquisition from Rio Tinto. Speaking from Campo Grande in Brazil, Thomas said drilling is focused on mapped pegmatites at surface, building on extensive previous exploration work including soil sampling and rock-chip analysis, with the first hole around 120 metres at the time of the interview as the company tests prospective areas below surface. He also discussed wider exploration potential at Campo Grande, where a 500-metre drilling corridor has been identified within a broader one-kilometre lithium corridor, highlighting LCT indicators including lithium, tantalum and rubidium as Solis uses available exploration data to refine its targets. Elsewhere in Brazil, the company has completed a seven-hole drilling programme at its other lithium project, providing coverage of the mapped area considered highly prospective, with logging and sampling under way and assays awaited. In Peru, Solis has also commenced drilling at the Cinto copper project, with the first hole planned to reach around 600 metres and potentially extend further. "We're extremely active again, three active projects," Thomas said, pointing to the volume of exploration information currently being generated and adding that Solis is "focused on lithium and copper," with further news flow expected as laboratory results come in.
