EL TORNO GOLD PROJECT El Torno contains a large gold-rich quartz vein system that extends north-south for 14 km and is up to 2000 meters wide. The central parts of the system have been worked since the Incas, resulting in about 1 km of underground galleries that are now flooded or collapsed. The vein system was investigated by Puma Minerals in 1997 who carried out over 2100 m of drilling. Puma were followed in 1999 by Peñoles, discoverer of the world’s largest silver mine, who undertook trenching, grab sampling, and geological surveying as well as a geophysical IP survey. The drilling showed that one of the gold mineralization types is concentrated in a 2 meter-wide zone on the western side of the main vein. From their data Puma estimated that a 1.3 km length of this vein mineralization could have the potential for over 500,000 ounces of gold to a depth of 100 meters or 2 million ounces of gold to a depth of 400 meters at an assumed grade of 10 g/t gold (not NI-43-101 compliant). Soltera carried out two stream sediment geochemical sampling programs and a detailed structural survey during the period 2008 to 2009. The results show that: The mineralization is distributed in a vein system that comprises the sides of the main vein and a series of narrow veins developed in a wide zone near the main vein up to 1 km from each side. The main vein system appears mineralized along its full length of 14 kilometers. The vein system is folded into an anticlinal form and the tested mineralization in the west wing could extend across into the east wing which remains totally untested. There are broad and strong stream sediment geochemical gold anomalies over wide areas of the country rocks up to 2 km from the main vein that are centered on suites of small veins and stockworks that could be major open-pit targets. The exploration area has been reduced effectively from 80 km 2 to 28 km 2 and within this precisely defined area there is potential for several million ounces of both underground and open-pit gold. The company is currently undertaking a surface exploration program to investigate both the geochemical anomalies and the main vein system. Mapping and surface sampling has been in progress for the past three months and is continuing. Small, specifically targeted, geophysical programs are anticipated later this year. This exploration has been financed through Soltera’s funding agreement with the Italian Goldlake Group (ref: 06/23/2010 release)

EL TORNO GOLD PROJECT

El Torno contains a large gold-rich quartz vein system that extends north-south for 14 km and is up to 2000 meters wide. The central parts of the system have been worked since the Incas, resulting in about 1 km of underground galleries that are now flooded or collapsed. The vein system was investigated by Puma Minerals in 1997 who carried out over 2100 m of drilling. Puma were followed in 1999 by Peñoles, discoverer of the world’s largest silver mine, who undertook trenching, grab sampling, and geological surveying as well as a geophysical IP survey. The drilling showed that one of the gold mineralization types is concentrated in a 2 meter-wide zone on the western side of the main vein. From their data Puma estimated that a 1.3 km length of this vein mineralization could have the potential for over 500,000 ounces of gold to a depth of 100 meters or 2 million ounces of gold to a depth of 400 meters at an assumed grade of 10 g/t gold (not NI-43-101 compliant). Soltera carried out two stream sediment geochemical sampling programs and a detailed structural survey during the period 2008 to 2009. The results show that:

• The mineralization is distributed in a vein system that comprises the sides of the main vein and a series of narrow veins developed in a wide zone near the main vein up to 1 km from each side.

• The main vein system appears mineralized along its full length of 14 kilometers.

• The vein system is folded into an anticlinal form and the tested mineralization in the west wing could extend across into the east wing which remains totally untested.

• There are broad and strong stream sediment geochemical gold anomalies over wide areas of the country rocks up to 2 km from the main vein that are centered on suites of small veins and stockworks that could be major open-pit targets.

• The exploration area has been reduced effectively from 80 km2 to 28 km

2 and within this precisely defined area

there is potential for several million ounces of both underground and open-pit gold. The company is currently undertaking a surface exploration program to investigate both the geochemical anomalies and the main vein system. Mapping and surface sampling has been in progress for the past three months and is continuing. Small, specifically targeted, geophysical programs are anticipated later this year.

SURFICIAL GOLD – PRODUCTION POSSIBILITIES

During the past eighteen months, Soltera has investigated the possibility of small-scale gold production from surface weathered material (eluvium) with a view to rapid cash generation to fund exploration of the major gold targets. The mineral title owner produced gold from this surface material using a trommel and sluice system until April 2007 when he closed the operation due to illness. In 2010 Soltera Mining purchased the plant, gained limited production rights and formed an exploitation agreement with the title owner. (ref: 04/06/2010 release)

Gold Processing Plant on El Torno

However, a test sampling program of eluvial material carried out in late 2010 produced disappointing results. Trace gold is widespread throughout the area sampled, but higher concentrations are rare and erratically distributed. The sample area, of about 35 hectares, was chosen because of the thickness of eluvium rather than possible gold content or the presence of a geochemical gold anomaly, and it is likely that thinner eluvium over geochemically anomalous areas will have higher grades. This will be investigated further. On the other hand, a short sampling program along 300 m of the main vein within a geochemical anomaly produced some spectacular results, including a 1.5 m channel sample containing 376 gpt Au. (ref: 04/27/2011 release) This has raised the possibility that small-scale production may be possible from ‘hot spots’ along the vein surface and this possibility is also being investigated. Dr. Fabio Montanari – President/CEO

Included is senior experience spearheading advanced exploration and mining activities in Africa, South America, Europe, Canada and the United States for a host of internationally recognized exploration and mining companies including: Asarco (US), Golden Star (UK), ENI Group (Italy) and Normabec (CAN). Dr. Montanari has also been a geological consultant to the United Nations under the U.N. Technology Cooperation Schemes. Dr. Montanari holds a doctorate degree in economic geology from the University of Ferrara, Italy. Additionally, he is the author of a textbook on economic geology, "Metals & Industrial Minerals: Economic & Metalogenic Parameters", which has been adopted by several major Italian universities. Dr. Kevan L. Ashworth – Director

Dr. Ashworth joined our Board in September 2007. Qualified at the University of Durham (Ph.D.) and the Royal School of Mines, London, UK, Dr. Ashworth commenced his industry career with eight years in Australia as a Geologist/Senior Geologist with BHP. This was followed by more than 30 years in the minerals industry, firstly as an independent contract economic geologist, and then as a mineral exploration and development consultant, based in the UK. He is currently a Director of a number of companies involved in mineral exploration.
