Solis Minerals (SLM) has commenced a maiden drilling program at its flagship Jaguar lithium project in Bahia, Brazil.

Solis inked an option agreement over the project at the beginning of June, before announcing it was raising $8 million through a placement to fund exploration.

“It’s an extremely exciting time for the company and its shareholders, as we drill at a previously under-explored pegmatite in what we hope will become Brazil’s next major lithium province,” Solis Minerals Executive Director Matt Boyes said.

The initial program is expected to take around 90 days.
