Solaris Resources' Warintza project in Ecuador is a copper-molybdenum-gold project that has been confirmed to be one of the best undeveloped copper deposits globally. The project has been in development since 2016, and the company is now seeking to advance it to feasibility stage. The Warintza project is located in the southeastern region of Ecuador and has a mineral resource of 3.2 billion pounds of copper, 4.3 million ounces of gold, and 250 million pounds of molybdenum. The project is expected to generate significant revenue for the company and could be a major contributor to Ecuador's economy.Solaris Resources’ Warintza project in southeastern Ecuador has emerged as one of the most significant undeveloped copper deposits globally, with <a href="https://www.solarisresources.com/warintza">3.7 billion tonnes of measured</a> and indicated resources and 2.1 billion tonnes of inferred resources. The project, discovered by David Lowell in 2000, is characterized by <a href="https://www.solarisresources.com/warintza">a low strip ratio of 0.53</a> to 1, positioning it among the lowest strip ratio copper mines globally. The pre-feasibility study (PFS) released in November 2025 outlines <a href="https://www.mining-technology.com/projects/the-warintza-project-ecuador/">a projected mine life of 22 years</a>, with an initial capital expenditure of $3.7 billion. The PFS estimates <a href="https://www.solarisresources.com/warintza">average annual copper equivalent production</a> of over 300,000 tonnes in the first five years and 240,000 tonnes over the first 15 years. The project’s post-tax net present value (NPV8%) is estimated at $4.6 billion, with <a href="https://www.solarisresources.com/warintza">a post-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 26%</a>. These figures underscore the project’s strong economic potential, supported by <a href="https://www.solarisresources.com/warintza">first-quartile all-in sustaining costs (AISC)</a> of $0.85 per pound of payable copper in the first five years.Warintza is also notable for its environmental and social governance (ESG) approach, with <a href="https://www.solarisresources.com/warintza">a structured model involving Indigenous communities</a> and local stakeholders through formal agreements and inclusive dialogue. The project has received <a href="https://www.solarisresources.com/">technical approval for its Environmental Impact Assessment</a>, a key milestone in the permitting process. Solaris Resources is currently advancing the project toward a feasibility study, with <a href="https://www.mining-technology.com/projects/the-warintza-project-ecuador/">a final investment decision (FID) anticipated</a> by the end of 2026. The Warintza project is expected to contribute significantly to Ecuador’s economy and global copper supply, with <a href="https://www.mining-technology.com/projects/the-warintza-project-ecuador/">its strategic location and infrastructure access</a> enhancing its operational viability. As the company moves forward with district-scale exploration and development, the project remains a focal point for long-term value creation in the copper sector.
