Canyon Project

Solis has made applications for exploration concessions in a contiguous block known as the Canyon Project. The target is copper porphyry mineralisation, principally oxides, situated on a NW-SE prospective trend with known porphyry occurrences just outside the application area, as well as reported exploration activities within the area itself.

The application area contains a belt of intrusive rocks identified as the Coastal Intrusive Belt containing various Coastal Batholiths that stretch from the Ecuadorian border in the north to the Chilean border in the south along the coast of Peru.

These rocks, of Late Jurassic to Cretaceous age, host (from south to north) Solis’ Ilo projects (Ilo Este, Chocolate, Chancho Al Palo) as well as important copper deposits of Tia Maria and Zafranal in Arequipa, the Almacen prospect 8km south-east of the applications, and the Los Pinos project 4km north-west, plus several other Cu projects and prospects. Additionally, the Canyon applications are bound to the east by the operating Cerro Lindo VMS mine.
