Solitario Completes Phase-One Drilling at Golden Crest - Reports Initial Drill Results for Ponderosa

Solitario Resources reported initial assay results from three core holes at the Ponderosa area of the Golden Crest gold project, intersecting low-grade gold (0.02 to 0.40 g/t Au). While no high-grade feeder zones were identified in these initial holes, drone magnetic surveys have identified a large new target area on the western margin. The company has also mobilized to its Cat Creek molybdenum-rhenium project in Colorado.
