Solitario Discovers Significant New Gold Zone - Sleeping Beauty New Multi-Gram Gold Assays Over a 1,600-Meter Trend

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2024 / Solitario Resources Corp. ("Solitario") (NYSE American:XPL)(TSX:SLR) is pleased to report that it has discovered another high-grade gold zone on its Golden Crest project, named Sleeping Beauty. Recently received assay results from reconnaissance rock sampling of outcrop, sub-crop and float from the 2023 field season yielded gold values as high as 39.6, 24.6 and 16.6 grams per tonne ("gpt") gold.

Sleeping Beauty is situated on a topographic plateau underlain by the same favorable limestone found at the high-grade Geyer gold zone, which is located about 500 meters to the south. The two zones are separated by a shallow valley, where mineralization is considerably weaker at surface and rock outcrops are absent. Although the Sleeping Beauty zone has an apparent east-west orientation, the overall trend of mineralization over a larger scale area is thought to be generally in a northeast-southwest direction.

Approximately 135 samples were collected and assayed from the Sleeping Beauty topographic plateau area (see map). Twenty-eight of these samples assayed greater than 1.0 gpt gold, with 65 samples greater than 0.2 gpt gold. Within the 1600-meter-long trend, there are five clusters of higher-grade gold. The highest-grade cluster measures 170 by 260 meters and is open in all directions. The average grade of all 14 grab samples collected in this high-grade cluster is 7.12 gpt gold.

Table 1 presents the 12 highest-grade rock grab samples in the Sleeping Beauty topographic plateau.
