(TSX: SLS; OTCQB: SLSSF) (“Solaris” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce an agreement with the Government of Ecuador in relation to an Investment Protection Agreement (“IPA”) for its Warintza Project (“Warintza” or “the Project”) in southeastern Ecuador.

The IPA provides a foundation of certainty with respect to the legal framework governing the Project, including stable mining regulations, security of title and investment for the term of the agreement, as well as significant new tax incentives to accelerate development.

Specific tax incentives include a 5% reduction of income tax, fixing the income tax rate applicable to the Company at 20%, exemption from the capital outflow tax, as well as the exemption of all import duties for the import of goods needed for new investments in the Project. Specific protections relate to the prohibition of all forms of confiscation, non-discriminatory treatment and equal playing field, legal security, tax stability and international arbitration if there are any disputes in relation to the Project.

The signing ceremony for the IPA is expected to take place with the participation of the Warints and Yawi communities in the village of Warintza in July 2022. The Company recently amended its Impact and Benefits Agreement with these communities reaffirming community support for the responsible advancement of the Project.

Ms. Lorena Konanz, Vice Minister of Export and Investment Promotion of the Government of Ecuador, stated, “From day one, our administration has been focused on encouraging sustainable and transparent economic growth in Ecuador with incentives to facilitate major investments in the country. In the mining sector, our most important goal is to ensure that development is responsible, environmentally friendly, and socially-committed, as at the Warintza Project.”

Mr. Vicente Tsakimp, Coordinator of the Warintza Project Strategic Alliance, stated, “We are excited to be part of the successful advancement of Warintza and show the industry that it is possible to develop a mining project in a responsible and inclusive way.

Mr. Daniel Earle, President & CEO, commented, “President Lasso´s administration continues to take consequential action to accelerate the development of the formal mining sector in Ecuador. Its positive approach of regulatory reform and meaningful tax relief focused on major new projects like Warintza, which embrace responsible approaches to community development and environmental protection, will pay great dividends to the people of Ecuador for generations to come. We are humbled to operate in service of its vision.”
