NOTES TO EDITORS

 

SolGold's exploration projects are located in northern Ecuador, Australia, and the Solomon Islands. In Ecuador, they consist of a JV with Cornerstone Capital Resources Inc. on the Cascabel copper-gold project.  In Australia, SolGold holds 100% of the Rannes, Mt Perry, Cracow West and Normanby Projects, all in southeast Queensland. In the Solomon Islands they comprise the Fauro Project (located on Fauro Island), and the Lower Koloula, Malukuna and Kuma licenses which are located on Guadalcanal. 

 

The Cascabel copper-gold project is located approximately 180 km by sealed road north of Ecuador's capital, Quito, 20 km south of the Colombian border, and 75 km inland from the coastal city of San Lorenzo. 

 

At the Rannes project SolGold has announced indicated and inferred resources of 18.7 million tonnes at 0.9 g/t gold equivalent (gold + silver) for 550,146 ounces of gold equivalent (296,657 ounces of gold and 10,137,736 ounces of silver; see announcement dated 23 May 2012 for details of the resource statement and gold equivalent ratios).  The Rannes project is currently under review.

 

In the Solomon Islands, a soil geochemical survey and 3D modelling of magnetic data is being considered at Kuma, while a JV partner is being sought for the Fauro project to pursue drilling of gold-copper targets defined in the 2011 exploration program. 

 

SolGold's objective is to create substantial shareholder value by discovering and defining world class copper-gold deposits.

 

SolGold's Board includes accomplished professionals with strong track records in the areas of exploration, mine development, investment, finance and law.  Board and Management have significantly vested interests in the Company, holding approximately 13% of its issued share capital.
