Solomon Intersects 100 meters of 0.30% Cu and 0.154 g/t Au at COL Cu-Au Project
Vancouver, October 22nd, Solomon Resources Ltd. (SRB: TSX-V) is pleased to report the assays from the third and fourth diamond drill holes from its COL-MAGNET porphyry copper-gold project, located 97 kilometres north of Fort St. James in north central British Columbia. The COL-MAGNET property is situated on the southern margin of the Hogem Batholith, approximately 45 kilometres northwest of the Mt. Milligan Cu-Au porphyry deposit and approximately 35 kilometres southeast of Serengeti Resources’ Kwanika property.

DDH-2007-03 (Azimuth 225o; Dip -60o) was a step back hole designed to test the down dip extension of mineralization first encountered in DDH-2007-01 and DDH-2007-02 which included 100 meters of 0.59% Cu and 0.184 g/t Au (as reported at October 4th, 2007.) DDH-2007-03 was collared 111 metres northeast of the collar of DDH-2007-01/02.

DDH-2007-04 (Azimuth 225o; Dip -60o) was designed to test the northwesterly strike extension of the mineralization encountered in DDH-2007-01 and DDH-2007-02. DDH-2007-04 was collared 127 metres northwest of the collar of DDH-2007-01/02.

Significant results from holes DDH-2007-03 and DDH-2007-04 include:

The drill has just completed DDH-2007-11 which was designed to test coincident total field magnetic and electromagnetic resistivity geophysical anomalies identified by the 2007 Fugro airborne survey. Located roughly a kilometre south-southwest of the A-Zone, the anomaly corresponds to the Sleeper Pluton, a potassic altered monzonite intrusive body that is highlighted in part by elevated copper geochemical soil values.
