Solitario Announces Progress in 2026 Ponderosa and Cat Creek Drilling Projects

DENVER, CO - Solitario Resources Corp. has made strides in its 2026 Ponderosa drilling program at the Golden Crest gold project in South Dakota, with four core holes completed. Initial assay results are anticipated in early August. Meanwhile, preparations for the first drilling at the Cat Creek critical metals project in Colorado are nearly finalized.

Cat Creek, located in the Climax-Henderson-Questa molybdenum belt, could see significant developments given its historical context and valuable mineral deposits such as molybdenum and rhenium. These metals are essential in defense and aerospace industries, enhancing materials' properties with added hardness and corrosion resistance.

Chris Herald, CEO, highlighted the active drilling programs and ongoing efforts to advance drilling permits for the Bright Angel copper-gold project in Colorado. Solitario remains committed to environmental, social, and governance principles across its projects.
