Soltoro's El Rayo Primary Silver Deposit NI 43-101 Resource Report Filed on SEDAR
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 31, 2010) - Soltoro Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SOL) has filed its NI 43-101 resource estimate for the El Rayo silver-gold project on SEDAR and made it available on the Company's website. The report was prepared by Agnerian Consulting Inc. The El Rayo property is located adjacent to the town of Guachinango in the Jalisco State, Mexico.
The report details the following indicated and inferred resources:
Deposit | Cut-off grade | Tonnes | Grade in | Contained |
Area | silver g/t | silver g/t | ounces of silver | |
Indicated Mineral Resources | ||||
Las Bolas | 40.0 | 9,470,000 | 69.4 | 21,100,000 |
Inferred Mineral Resources | ||||
Las Bolas | 40.0 | 1,800,000 | 67.4 | 4,000,000 |
Matachines | 40.0 | 400,000 | 65.0 | 850,000 |
In addition to the silver resources outlined in the NI-43-101 report, the following target deposit calculation was provided for the Highway Zone which is an offset continuation of the Las Bolas structure:
Target Deposit Potential – Highway Zone – May 2010
Mineralized | Cut-off grade | Range of | Potential ounces of |
Zone | silver g/t | potential tonnes | silver inventory |
Highway Zone | 40 | 2 to 2.3 Million | 5.3 to 5.7 Million |
Soltoro considers the potential quantity and grade of the material at the Highway Zone to be conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in discovery of a mineral resource. The target deposit calculation is based on a total of 16 reverse circulation drill holes.
Soltoro President and CEO, Andrew Thomson comments "Drilling and further metallurgical testing is planned in 2010 to expand the tonnage of the Las Bolas resource and lower the cut-off grade. We have numerous mineralized structures that remain to be tested including the Catarina mine area which hosts the most significant historic resource."
The report from the independent consultant recommends that Soltoro continue to explore for silver and gold mineralization elsewhere on its extensive El Rayo property, as well as along strike and at depth from the Las Bolas deposit. The mineral resources estimated were completed by Hrayr Agnerian, M.Sc. (Applied), P.Geo. of Agnerian Consulting Ltd. Mr Agnerian is the Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators and has verified the data disclosed in this release.
