Zinc Intersections At The Florida Canyon Project In Peru

DENVER, CO - Solitario Zinc Corp. reported an update on the continuing 2019 drilling program on its Florida Canyon zinc project in Peru. The highlight of this round of drilling was drill hole PEBGD-000015 that intersected 12.4 meters grading 15.1% zinc-equivalent (Zn-Eq). The Florida Canyon high-grade zinc project located in northern Peru is joint ventured with Nexa Resources S.A..

Drill hole PEBGD-000015 was important in extending the San Jorge high-grade zone an additional 90 meters to the south. Within the 12.4-meter interval grading of 15.1% Zn-Eq, two higher-grade zones averaged approximately 20% Zn-Eq over 3.6 and 4.6 meters respectively. Results reported within this news release are for drill holes PEBGD-000011to 000023. Five of the thirteen holes reported in this release did not intersect significant mineralization. Three core rigs continue to drill on the project and are expected to complete the program by late-October.

Chris Herald, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “We remain encouraged that the majority of drill holes have intersected mineralization. The program continues to focus on near-vertical replacement bodies that can be high-grade and large-tonnage. We anticipate reporting assay results for another 15 drill holes over the next couple months.”
