Solitario Discovers Major New Area with Multi-Gram Gold; Wild Rose Zone Open in All Directions

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2024 / Solitario Resources Corp. ("Solitario") (NYSE American: XPL; TSX: SLR) is pleased to report that it has discovered a major new area of high-grade gold mineralization, named Wild Rose, on its Golden Crest Project in South Dakota. Surface reconnaissance rock sampling has yielded gold values up to 52.9 grams per tonne ("gpt") gold. The Wild Rose gold zone has been traced over a length of at least 1.6 kilometers, is up to 300 meters wide and is open in all directions. Wild Rose is interpreted to be the continuation of the previously reported high-grade Downpour gold trend situated approximately 1.2 kilometers to the southwest (see Figure 1). Combined, the Downpour-Wild Rose corridor is approximately four kilometers long.

Wild Rose is defined by 101 reconnaissance surface grab samples of float and subcrop mineralization. Remarkably, 34 of these samples contained gold values in excess of 1.0 gpt gold. Sampling to date has defined two areas of intense mineralization (see Figure 2). The southern zone of Wild Rose has a greater density of sampling and is consequently better defined. The southern gold zone measures approximately 480 meters long, trending in a northeasterly direction, and is up to 320 meters wide. The northern zone, which is sparsely sampled, shows a higher-grade zone in excess of 200 meters in length. The table below lists the ten highest grade samples:
