The Bowron Basin property covers the entire Upper Eocene Bowron Sedimentary Basin, a package of coal bearing shale, siltstone and sandstone deposited within a roughly 17 km by 2.5 km, north west-south east trending graben-like structure. First discovered in outcrops by GM Dawson in 1870, the Bowron Basin hosts the Bowron Basin Coal Deposit, a historic, non 43-101 compliant underground resource of 49,904,208 tonnes from two seams of high quality thermal grade bituminous coal. This historic resource, part of a total potential resource estimated to exceed 350 million tonnes, was based on 16,593 m of drilling completed between 1975-80 (R. Berzosa, P.Eng, for Norco Resources Ltd. December 31, 1981).

During the 2006-07 field season, Solomon plans to complete a 3-5 hole drill program designed to confirm reported results.
