Soltoro's Equity/Royalty Partner Extends Strike of El Tajo Vein and Trenches 1.2 Metres of 527 g/t Silver at the Coyote Project

Soltoro Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SOL) holds 7,000,000 common shares or 15% of Argentum
Silver Corp (TSX VENTURE:ASL). 


Soltoro participates in discoveries and advancements at Coyote through its 15%
equity holding in Argentum Silver and its retained 3% N.S.R. royalty interest in
the Coyote property.


Argentum Silver has received assay results from its most recent trenching
program at Argentum Silver's 100% owned Coyote property in Jalisco, Mexico. To
date Argentum Silver has drill tested a 600 metre long section of the El Tajo
vein with over 2,800 meters of drilling completed to an average depth of 85
vertical meters. Surface trenching has extended the main El Tajo Vein strike
length an additional 375 meters to the south. The El Tajo vein remains open at
depth and along strike to the south. In the La Valenciana zone, trenching has
defined 2 new high grade silver zones; one with over 350 metres of strike length
and a second with over 600 metres of strike length. 


Highlights of the trenching programs, where values exceeded 90 g/t Ag, were
returned as follows:

Andrew Thomson, President and C.E.O. of Soltoro Ltd., stated: "The Argentum
Silver trenching results from the El Tajo vein indicate they have added an
additional 375 metres of strike length south of the 600 metres initially drill
tested. Other silver zones on the balance of the property returned significant
high grade silver values which have yet to be drill tested."

The southern extension of the El Tajo Zone was identified in 13 trenches over a
strike length of 375 metres and remains to be drill tested. All 13 trenches
returned anomalous silver values generally greater than 10 g/t Ag including the
most southern Trenches Z-56 through 59 (tabled above) which contained the best
silver and gold grade continuity. Trenches Z-56 through 59 were completed along
the most southern 100 metre section of the trend and it remains open to the
south. Additional trenching and sampling is planned to define the extent of the
zone.


North of the El Tajo Zone, 16 trenches were completed over a strike length of
600 metres. Some veining was encountered where silver assay values range from 10
to 48 g/t Ag. No significant mineralized widths were defined. More trenching is
required to follow up on the anomalous silver values to determine if drilling is
warranted. 


The principal La Valenciana Zone was exposed by 13 trenches over a strike length
of 350 metres and returned consistent silver values above 30 g/t Ag, including
those highlighted in the table above. A secondary sub-parallel vein in the La
Valenciana Zone was exposed by 20 trenches over a 600 metre strike length. This
sub-parallel vein displayed consistent silver values above 10 g/t Ag. Argentum
geologists believe surface assay values in the La Valenciana veins to be in the
upper horizon of the silver mineralized system and that higher grades may be
present at depth.


The La Colorada Zone was prospected by 13 trenches over a strike length of 430
metres and identified multiple quartz and mineralized zones. Trenches Z-4 and
Z-5 represent 90 metres of lateral continuity of good silver grades. 


Finally, the southern extension of the Florida Zone was exposed by 7 trenches
over a 300 metre strike length. All trenches returned values of greater than 30
g/t Ag including Z-103 and Z-107 tabled above. An additional 31 trenches tested
several peripheral and sub-parallel zones to those described above, with only
limited success. 


The objective of the trenching program was to identify lateral extensions to
known mineralized silver zones with good grades and widths in order to define
future drill target areas. A total of 113 trenches were excavated and chip
sampled principally on the El Tajo, La Valenciana, La Colorada, Bocancha, and
Florida Zones. Trenches were completed over a total 1,636 meters spaced roughly
every 25 metres along strike over selective portions of zone projections. A full
table of results is available on the Company's website.


The Coyote project is located near the town of Chilacayote, within the state of
Jalisco, Mexico. Road access and infrastructure are excellent. The property is
approximately 150 kilometres southwest of the capital city of Guadalajara,
roughly a 3 1/2 hour drive. Topography is generally gentle to moderate. A
regional electrical power line crosses the property. 


Assaying from this program was completed by ALS Chemex through their office in
Guadalajara, Mexico. Analytical procedures include a 33 element ICP-AES analysis
(ME-ICP61m) and a 50 g FA AA finish for gold (AA-24). Silver assays exceeding
100 g/t are re-assayed by HCL leach with an ICP-AES or AAS finish (OG62). Paul
