| Drill Program Continues at Baruunbayan Uranium Project in Mongolia |

Three Downhole Gamma Spectrometer Anomalies Reported in 2008 Drill Program to Date Armstrong, BC - Monday, June 16th, 2008. Solomon Resources Limited (SRB: TSX-V) is pleased to report that diamond drilling continues on the Baruunbayan Uranium Project in Mongolia. Solomon holds seven mineral licences covering 356,603 hectares in Mongolia comprising four distinct properties: Baruunbayan, Zamtiin Gol, Airag and Uvurkhangai Properties. 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. Results of the 2007 exploration program have been reported previously (Solomon News Release dated April 9th, 2008.) Current Exploration Program: The 2008 drill program is designed to test the stratigraphy and uranium mineralization potential of a broad area within the Ooshiin Govi Basin, located at the southwestern end of the Unegt Depression. 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.  Figure 1.

Table 1: Ooshiin Govi Drill Collar Data Two drill holes completed in the current campaign DDH-BB-14 and DDH-BB-17) have been previously reported as returning encouraging down hole gamma spectrometric anomalies (Solomon News Release dated June 2nd, 2008.)  Figure 2. Drill Section DDH-BB-20 showing downhole gamma survey. DDH-BB-20, completed June 2nd, 2008, returned down hole gamma readings of 200 counts per second (cps) in an isolated spike at 186.0 meters depth; another isolated spike at 195.0 meters depth of 120 cps, another isolated spike at 203.0 meters depth of 150 cps, and a significant reading of 410 cps from 213.5 meters to 215 meters (a 1.5 meter interval) in moderate yellowish brown, yellowish gray fine grained sandstone.  Figure 3. Solomons Mongolian field crew examine drill core at Ooshiin Govi. Solomon‟s President Randy Rogers observed: It is worth noting the tremendous size of the Ooshiin Govi Basin: we are drilling holes with step-out distances up to four kilometers and have only scratched the surface of the preliminary Ooshiin Govi target area measuring twenty by twelve kilometers in extent. The nature of large tonnage, low grade roll front uranium deposits as seen in the adjacent Dulaan Uul property of Cogegobi and the better understood rollfront uranium deposits of Kazakhstan and North America suggest that we have a lot of drilling yet ahead of us. Our licences in the Baruunbayan Project alone total 248,300 hectares of highly prospective ground. Other field work underway at the Baruunbayan Project includes compilation of Soviet-era geological and geophysical data, ground magnetometer and radiometric surveys, detailed geological mapping and alpha cup surveys.
