Solitario Resources Corp. reported that the United States Forest Service ("USFS") has issued a Decision Notice ("DN") and Finding of No Significant Impact ("FONSI") under the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act for Solitario's proposed drilling program on its Golden Crest project in South Dakota. With this positive decision, the Company plans to move forward with its drilling plans to test a number of high-quality gold targets beginning in June.

Several administrative steps remain before drilling begins, but the DN is the most important decision of the USFS as it pertains to Solitario's Golden Crest Plan of Operations.
