SOLARIS EXPANDS LEADERSHIP TEAM

Solaris Resources Inc. has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Richard Hughes as chief financial officer and company secretary, Patrick Chambers as vice-president, investor relations, and Ignacio Shimamoto as vice-president, finance, effective immediately.

Mr. Hughes, who succeeds Sunny Lowe as CFO, will lead the finance function leveraging his recent experience as CFO and executive director of Trident Royalties PLC, which was recently acquired. With over 20 years in the natural resources sector, Mr. Hughes has a strong record of generating value for all stakeholders through his significant knowledge across strategy, capital markets and corporate finance. Mr. Chambers will drive global investor engagement, leveraging his strong geological, investor relations and business development background. Over the past 12 years, Mr. Chambers has worked across a number of commodities, focusing exclusively on Latin America. Mr. Shimamoto joins Solaris as vice-president, finance, where he will lead financial strategy (which includes external and internal reporting and financial modelling) and oversee procurement and contract management. He will focus on enhancing operational efficiency, strengthening compliance and supporting the company's growth through strategic planning, financial oversight, and valuations of projects and investments.

Matthew Rowlinson, president and chief executive officer, commented: "I am delighted to welcome Richard, Patrick and Ignacio to the management team and look forward to working closely with them to execute our strategy of maximizing returns for all stakeholders. I would also like to thank the outgoing Solaris team for their service to the company and for playing a pivotal role in establishing the Warintza project as a world-class multigenerational copper deposit. Two thousand twenty-five is an exciting year for the company as the project continues derisking activities and I look forward to keeping the market updated on the value-accretive progress."
