Solaris Resources Inc (SLS:TSX) delivered a landmark investor presentation highlighting the scale and economic strength of its Warintza copper project in Ecuador, positioning it as a tier-one, multi-generational asset in global copper supply. CEO and President Mathew Rowlinson emphasized the project’s simplicity, strategic flexibility, and robust social licence, supported by a $200 million Royal Gold financing package to fund the feasibility study. The recently completed pre-feasibility study (PFS) reported a 312% increase in measured and indicated resources over 2024, with reserves supporting a 22-year mine life and the potential to extend operations by a further 30 years. The project’s low strip ratio of 0.53:1 and all-in sustaining cash costs of $1.07/lb over the first 15 years place it among the world’s lowest-cost producers, generating an expected post-tax NPV8 of $4.6 billion and 26% IRR. Average annual production is forecast at 300,000 tonnes copper equivalent over the first five years and 240,000 tonnes over 15 years, with a total life-of-mine EBITDA of $25 billion. COO Javier Toro outlined Warintza’s optimized, environmentally encapsulated design and strong infrastructure access via ports, roads, and power grids. The project benefits from Ecuador’s stable fiscal regime and growing government support for mining. The company aims to secure final environmental approval by year-end, with feasibility completion and early works slated for 2026, followed by construction in 2027. With its clean, high-grade copper concentrate, strong social partnerships, and first-quartile cost structure, Solaris is advancing one of the world’s most competitive copper developments, offering material long-term value to shareholders.
