Armstrong, BC - Wednesday, June 11th, 2008. Solomon Resources Limited (SRB: TSX-V) is pleased to report that exploration will resume June 19th, 2008 on its COL-Magnet Copper-Gold Porphyry project located in the Quesnel Trough in north Central British Columbia, approximately 75 kilometers north of Fort St. James.

BACKGROUND:

The COL-Magnet project, located within the highly prospective Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Hogem Batholith, is located 45 kilometers northwest of the Mt. Milligan Copper-Gold Deposit and is geologically similar in both regional setting and mineralogy to the Kwanika Project of Serengeti Resources Inc. located 35 kilometers to the northwest.

The COL-Magnet property was first explored in the early 1970s by Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd which reported drill intercepts of up to 45.7 metres grading 0.84% copper (DDH 71-13) in the A-Zone
(Solomon News Release dated December 12th, 2006 refers.)

Solomon optioned the COL Property on December 12th, 2006 from Indata Resources Ltd. and Nation River Resources Ltd., of Courtenay, British Columbia. Subsequently it has acquired additional prospective ground to the east and west of the option area. Solomon has met required exploration commitments and maintained the property in good standing as contemplated by the option agreement.

SUMMARY OF 2007 EXPLORATION PROGRAM:

Solomon completed 14 diamond drill holes for a total of 2564 meters of NQ2 core in a 2007 program both to confirm and expand historical mineralization and to test attractive copper-in-soil geochemical anomalies and encouraging trench sampling results from widely separated locations within the claim boundaries.

The 2007 drilling of the “A” Zone returned a grade of 0.60% copper over a true width of 25 meters and indicated a down dip extent of a approximately 225 m. Drilling to the west along strike found the “A” Zone to weaken both near surface and at depth. Drilling of the “A” Zone along strike to the east remains to be undertaken, and is a prime target for follow-up (Solomon News Release dated January 21st, 2008)

Solomon‟s 2007 exploration work also located and further defined several widely separated mineralized areas including the Campbell Trench Zone, the Bug Zone and the Slide Zone. In addition, several areas of anomalous copper-molybdenum soil geochemical values were outlined for future exploration including the Sleeper copper-molybdenum anomaly which cross cuts the “A” Zone, and an unnamed 400 meter by 4000 meter northwest trending zone of moderately anomalous copper-molybdenum soil geochemical values.

CURRENT EXPLORATION PROGRAM:

The 2008 work program, budgeted at $ 435,000, will include 1,500 meters of diamond drilling, geological mapping, and prospecting as well as rock, soil and stream geochemical surveys.

Solomon‟s President Randy Rogers observed: “The 2008 drill program at the COL-Magnet Project is designed to follow-up encouraging results obtained in last year‟s exploration program. This portion of the Quesnel Trough remains an attractive target for alkalic Porphyry Copper deposits and Solomon‟s current program will provide us a greater understanding of the nature and extent of mineralization within our project boundaries.”

Solomon is also pleased to announce it has signed a 1,500 metre NQ2 drilling contract with Atlas Diamond Drilling Ltd. of Kamloops, British Columbia. Drilling is planned to commence July 5th, 2008.
