Nineteen Drill Holes Completed to Date in Baruunbayan Uranium Project - Assay Results Pending Armstrong, BC - Monday, July 7th, 2008. Solomon Resources Limited (SRB: TSX-V) is pleased to report that nineteen drill holes totalling 4138.50 meters of a planned 5000 meter drill campaign have been completed to date on the Baruunbayan Uranium Project in Mongolia. Background: Solomon's Baruunbayan Property and the adjacent Dulaan Uul Property of Cogegobi XXK (an Areva subsidiary) lie within the Unegt Depression, a broad basin approximately 100 kilometers in length and 60 kilometers in width extending from the Solomon tenures in the southwest to the Cogegobi tenures in the northeast. Solomon is conducting a diamond drill program in this highly prospective uranium district, on exploration licences covering 248,300 hectares. Current Exploration Program: Three drill holes completed in the current campaign: DDH-BB-14, DDH-BB-17 and DDH-BB-20 have been previously reported as returning encouraging down hole gamma spectrometric anomalies (Solomon News Releases dated June 2nd and June 16th, 2008.) Favourable stratigraphy has been observed in the majority of the holes drilled to date in the 2008 drill campaign and assays are pending for selected sample intervals.
Table 1: Baruunbayan Drill Collar Data Solomon's President Randy Rogers observed: The 2008 drill program is designed to follow up last year's drilling and anomalies identified in our analysis of a substantial data package covering the Solomon holdings in the Ooshiin Govi Basin. We have collated historical data including Soviet-era airborne spectrometry, seismic surveys and hydrogeological surveys with geophysical surveys and mapping conducted by Solomon field crews in 2007 and 2008. The recent discovery of significant large tonnage low grade rollfront uranium mineralization on the Dulaan Uul property of Cogegobi to the northeast of Solomon's exploration licences was the first indicator of the potential extent of uranium mineralization in this previously unexplored district.Field work currently underway at the Baruunbayan Project includes diamond drilling, ground magnetometer and radiometric surveys, detailed geological mapping and alpha cup surveys.
