Solomon Commences Yukon Exploration Program Option Payment Made for Ten Mile Creek Gold Property PDF Print E-mail

Armstrong, B.C. – Tuesday, May 25th, 2010. Solomon Resources Limited (SRB: TSX-V) is pleased to report that it has paid $100,000 and issued 100,000 common shares to Radius Gold Inc. pursuant to the terms of an option agreement to earn a 51% interest in the Ten Mile Creek Gold Project in the White Gold area of the Yukon Territory.

Solomon’s field crews are mobilizing today to the Yukon Territory and arrangements have been made to barge the camp and exploration equipment up the Yukon River to the property. The work commitment for 2010 is $350,000.

Ten Mile Creek Gold Project:
Ten Mile Creek is located 75 kilometers south of Dawson City, Yukon Territory and is situated in an active placer gold mining camp with significant historical production. A hardrock source for the placer gold has never been identified.

The Ten Mile Creek Gold Property was staked by Teck Resources Limited in 1998 during the same project in which Teck staked the area now covered by Underworld Resources Ltd.‟s White Gold Property to the southeast. Teck explored the Ten Mile Creek Property from 1998 to 2000 with geological mapping, soil and rock sampling and limited trenching and identified five discrete diamond drill targets.
The Ten Mile Creek Gold Property has never been drilled.

Teck delineated five distinct mineralized zones each of which appears to occur in Mesozoic quartz monzonite intrusive bodies intruded by dykes of porphyritic rhyolite of probable late Cretaceous age. The gold mineralization appears spatially related to the contact of the intrusive bodies with high grade metamorphic rocks.

The primary target for the 2010 exploration season is the Jual Vein System, which is characterized by numerous northwesterly trending, flat to moderately dipping quartz veins, stockworks and fault zones with gold values ranging from 8 to 16 grams per tonne (g/t) gold. Strong northwest-trending gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies with values up to 670 parts per billion gold cover an area measuring 1.4 kilometers by 0.6 kilometers. Trenching of peripheral and lower-order gold-in-soil anomalies yielded results of 1.6 g/t gold over 25 meters (including 11.1 g/t gold over three meters) and 1.0 g/t gold over 19 meters (including 8.5 g/t over 1.5 meters).

Four other mineralized zones have been identified to date, and the 2010 Solomon exploration program includes surface geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys on these relatively unexplored zones as well as expanding our understanding of the mineralization seen to date at the Jual Vein System with the objective of refining diamond drill targets for August of 2010.

The property subject of the Solomon – Radius option agreement includes the Dime 1- 48 Claims, the RDU 1-258 Claims, nine Jual Claims, thirty-two Ten Claims and thirteen Val Claims all located under the Yukon Quartz Mining Act. The property is readily accessible by barge from Dawson City and a network of old roads provide access to the areas of interest in the 2010 field program.

Solomon’s President and Chief Executive Officer Randy Rogers noted: “Ten Mile Creek offers the best exploration value for the company going into the early phase of the 2010 field season. We are continually evaluating and realigning our exploration priorities given the current market conditions, and the White Gold camp in the Yukon Territory continues to attract interest with recent developments at the Underworld Resources Inc./Kinross Gold Corp. Golden Saddle project southeast of Solomon’s Ten Mile Creek Gold Project.”
