Soltoro Trenching Extends El Rayo Gold Zone 70 Metres to North and Returns 24 Metres of 2.09 gpt Gold

Soltoro Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SOL) has been conducting trenching northwest of the El
Rayo gold zone which has extended mineralization by approximately 70 metres
along strike at surface. This represents approximately a 10% increase in the
strike length of known mineralization in the El Rayo gold zone. 


In April of 2014, detailed mapping and ground magnetics were completed north and
northwest of trench ERY-13 (16.97 metres of 3.45 g/t gold in NR162 dated April
12, 2014) in order to locate the strike extension of the El Rayo gold zone. On
the basis of this work, three trenches were completed with the best result
coming from trench ERY-19, which returned 24.00 metres of 2.09 g/t gold where
mineralization remains open in both directions. Results from all three trenches
are as follows:

Andrew Thomson, President and C.E.O. of Soltoro Ltd., stated: "Trenching has
extended the gold zone 70 metres to the north where a series of faults
intersects the mineralized structure. Further trenching will be carried out to
locate mineralization northwest of the offsetting fault zone and to extend the
length of trench ERY-19 where mineralization remains open in both directions." 


The lack of outcrop and series of cross-cutting faults in the recently trenched
north end of the El Rayo gold zone would suggest that gold mineralization in
this portion of the El Rayo structure is controlled by a flexure in the primary
northwest-trending structure or by the intersection of this structure with a
more northerly-trending fault zone. Drilling in this area has not confirmed the
extension of mineralization at depth but this may be the result of fault gaps
created by post-mineral faulting. Additional drilling will be required to
determine the extent of the newly identified gold mineralization at depth. 


Detailed ground magnetics also suggest that the El Rayo gold zone structure may
be offset a few tens of meters to the southwest along a northeast-trending fault
located between trenches ERY-18 and ERY-19. Soltoro will continue exploring in
this area in an effort to locate the offset portion of the El Rayo gold zone
structure.

INITIAL GOLD RESOURCE AT EL RAYO 

At El Rayo an initial gold resource of 22,600 Indicated ounces of gold contained
in 380,000 tonnes averaging 1.85 g/t gold and 18,900 Inferred ounces gold
contained in 365,000 tonnes averaging 1.61 g/t gold has been defined over
approximately 700 metres of strike length in proximity to the historic El Rayo
gold mine. The historic El Rayo gold mine lies along the same northwest-trending
structure that also controls silver-lead mineralization at the historic Catarina
Mine.
