Solis Minerals Ltd. announce an update on recent applications for new copper exploration licences in Peru. Solis has successfully applied for a 6,400-hectare package comprising of seven licences of largely underexplored exploration areas in a highly prospective coastal belt, which were pegged on the 2nd of May. The areas were previously held by Anaconda Copper.

Field visits by Solis teams indicate minimal ground exploration has been carried out in recent times. The Company now holds a significant landholding of 43,500 hectares principally along a coastal belt bounded to the west by batholiths of Jurassic and Cretaceous age. Based on the outcropping porphyry copper mineralisation at Ilo Este, Solis considers that the eastern margins of the batholiths represent highly prospective areas for porphyry copper occurrences emplaced in volcanic or volcaniclastic rocks.
