Solomon Completes Confirmation Sampling at Chandmani Project, Mongolia

Solomon Resources Ltd. (SRB:TSX-V) is pleased to provide results from its confirmation sampling work on its Chandmani Project in northwest Mongolia.

Vancouver, Canada (PRWEB) October 29, 2005 -- Solomon Resources Ltd. (SRB:TSX-V) is pleased to provide results from its confirmation sampling work on its Chandmani Project in northwest Mongolia. Solomon acquired the project through its Option Agreement with Gallant Minerals Ltd, which includes 22 projects. The project area contains Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks, with extensive limestone, which has been intruded by diorite-granodiorite stocks, of inferred Paleozoic age. The project contains significant potential to host copper-gold skarn and porphyry deposits, and structure-hosted high-grade gold deposits.

The Chandmani Project contains 5 exploration licenses, totalling 35,413 hectares (354 km²) located within the Lake District in northwestern Mongolia. The project is 140 km southeast of Khovd City, which has regular scheduled air service from Ulaanbaatar.

The Chandmani project area was first investigated in 2004 when Gallant staff located three areas containing gold mineralization, identified from west to east as:

- The Chandmani Gold Prospect

- The Khavchig Yargait Copper-Gold Prospect

- The Yembuu Tolgoi Gold Prospect.

In July 2005, Solomon conducted field programs of confirmation sampling and limited hand trenching that has confirmed the presence of significant gold values, with results to a high of 347 g/t gold. A description of each of the prospects and details of the results of the 2005 work are provided below.

Chandmani Gold Prospect

Multiple, discontinuous gold-quartz-pyrite veins occur within a 4.5 km² area, underlain by Paleozoic intrusive, sedimentary and volcanic rocks. Solomon collected 17 grab samples (including 6 duplicate samples) and 28 continuous chip samples (including 2 duplicate samples) of bedrock. Of the 73 total samples (including 8 duplicates) collected to date, over a 2.5 km by 1.0 km area, 23 samples assayed greater than 0.5 g/t gold. Results range from below detection to a high of 347 g/t gold. The highest value is from a grab sample of a quartz-pyrite vein. Copper values range up to 8,280 ppm, but are typically below 300 ppm.

An 81.0 m long, northeast-southwest trench (CH-T-01) was hand dug by Solomon crews in the area where previous grab samples returned results of 70.3 g/t gold and 27.9 g/t gold. Samples from weathered and oxidized granite and quartz vein bedrock produced a weighted average result of 0.482 g/t gold over 14.5m (from 20.0 to 34.5m) and includes a 2.2m section that averaged 2.365 g/t gold. In the location of the 70.3 g/t result from the 2004 sampling, two 0.10m quartz veins at 69.4m and 69.7m assayed 13.3 g/t gold and 45.7 g/t gold, respectively.

The 2005 re-sampling program generally confirms the presence of significant gold mineralization, however duplicate grab sample assays results contain high variability, compared to the 2004 grab samples, as shown in the following table.

The Chandmani Prospect area requires systematic soil, rock and trenching programs to select drill targets.

Khavchig Yargait Copper Gold Prospect

The Khavchig Yargait prospect area includes a large area with skarn and porphyry style copper-gold mineralization. A total of 12 samples, including 3 samples of over 1.0 g/t gold, have been collected in the prospect area over an area of slightly less than 6 km2. Initial, reconnaissance work has identified five individual, narrow skarn bodies, measuring up to 400 m in length. Sampling by Solomon has confirmed values in grab samples up to 1.57% copper with 2.6 g/t gold (2005 sample 29987) from garnet skarn. Reconnaissance mapping has also identified potassic-altered intrusives, containing up to 0.23% copper and 0.116 g/t gold (2005 sample 29985). The Khavchig Yargait area contains significant potential for discovery of additional skarn bodies, and possible porphyry copper gold mineralization. Due to the large area of mountainous terrain, a stream-sediment sampling program in combination with airborne magnetics is planned to explore this area.

Yembuu Tolgoi Gold Prospect

The Yembuu Tolgoi prospect contains extensive covered areas with discontinuous massive quartz veins, hosted in a volcanic, sedimentary and intrusive host rocks. A total of 17 grab samples and 3 float samples have been collected on the property, including 4 samples that assayed over 1.0 g/t gold. Solomon collected 9 samples, including 2 duplicate samples, containing gold values up to 13.9 g/t from large angular float (2005 sample 50110). Copper values are generally below 300 ppm, but range up to 1,270 ppm. A detailed stream sediment sampling program is planned to identify all areas with mineralization. Results will be followed up with detailed prospecting and geochemical programs.
