• Final assays from Phase 1 RC drilling confirm the program as a resounding success, delivering strong growth outcomes in terms of both tonnage and grade
• Step-out holes demonstrate the deposit remains wide open to the north, with broad >0.40% Cu intercepts beyond the limits of the current 40.4Mt Mineral Resource Estimate
• Infill hole confirms widespread MRE grade copper-gold mineralisation, with potential for high-grade plunge targets

Solstice Minerals Limited is pleased to report final assay results from its recent 23-hole (6,030m) Phase 1 mineral resource estimate (MRE) expansion drilling program at the 100%-owned Nanadie Copper-Gold Project in Western Australia's Goldfields region. The program focused on testing the northern extensions of the deposit and successfully demonstrated that the deposit remains open to the north, with wide >0.40% Cu intercepts returned beyond the limits of the current 40.4Mt MRE. Significant intercepts include 44m @ 0.52% Cu, 0.23 g/t Au from 146m, including 14m @ 1.02% Cu, 0.58g/t Au from 163m, within a broad mineralised zone of 187m @ 0.31% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au from 5m in the northernmost hole NANRC023. Other notable results include 33m @ 0.52% Cu, 0.12 g/t Au from 10m and 29m @ 0.93% Cu, 0.30 g/t Au from 50m in NANRC021, and 25m @ 0.40% Cu, 0.07 g/t Au from 102m in NANRC022. An infill hole, NANRC026, confirmed widespread MRE grade copper-gold mineralisation at the southern end of the deposit, returning multiple broad intercepts. The success of Phase 1 supports immediate follow-up RC and diamond drilling, with a Phase 2 program in preparation that will focus on testing high-grade open intercepts and multiple step-out and down-dip extensional targets.

Preparations are underway to mobilise an RC rig before the end of the month, followed by a diamond rig shortly thereafter, to undertake the Phase 2 drilling program focused on testing high-grade open intercepts and multiple step-out and down-dip extensional targets.
