Soldi Ventures Inc. Announces Preliminary Work on the Cameron and Lochaber Graphite Properties

Soldi Ventures Inc. (Soldi) (TSX VENTURE:SOV) is pleased to announce that
preliminary work has begun on the Cameron and Lochaber Graphite properties in
Quebec. Both properties were visited to assess any exposed graphite occurrences
and to determine the best methods to continue exploration. The objective is to
fast track the exploration process to get to the drilling stage as quickly as
possible.


The 2,920 acre Cameron Graphite Property is located 5km southwest of the town of
Ste-Therese-de-la-Gatineau in western Quebec, just off of Highway 105,
approximately 125km North of Ottawa, Ontario. The property has excellent
year-round road access as well as good regional infrastructure. A historical
technical report from 1965 notes the existence of graphite in "large, irregular
shaped masses of coarsely crystalline white limestone" (see: Soldi Ventures Inc.
news release for February 22nd, 2012). This occurrence was located along with
the historical diamond drill holes around it.


In 1965, a bulk sample of the graphite-bearing material was shipped to a
processing plant located in Labelle, Quebec. Approximately 5 tons of this
material was processed. In addition, 23 drill holes were drilled to the west of
this occurrence and all, except for one, intersected graphite. Three
metallurgical tests were conducted on the bulk sample from 1965 using different
grinding times. The results obtained were excellent, with the ensuing production
of concentrate averaging 91.35% carbon after two minutes of grinding in the rod
mill. A concentrate averaging 95.06% carbon was obtained after four minutes of
grinding in a rod mill. In either case the recovery of large or "jumbo" graphite
flakes in the +48 mesh concentrate was exceptional at 65.09% and 52.39%
respectively. ("+48 mesh" concentrate is considered highly valuable).


The bulk sample was later analyzed with a semi-commercial plant test. The rod
mill test gave a concentrate of 95.11% Carbon with 77.43% recovery. The final
test run gave a concentrate of 97.40% Carbon with a 90.15% recovery.


The 2,300 acre Lochaber Graphite Property is located 5km west of the town of
Saint-Sixte, Quebec, just off of Route 317, approximately 65km East of Ottawa.
The area has been subject to previous logging and forestry work and a good road
network is in place. The property is located in a historical graphite mining
district, and had been the target of exploration in the early 1950's and again
in the 1980's, during which time an airborne survey was flown to further define
targets. A strong, wide airborne conductor was discovered and a ground visit to
the location revealed massive flake graphite.


In a 1952 report, it was reported that "trenches were bulldozed by Frobisher
Exploration, stripping overburden of 3-18 inches perpendicular to the strike of
the Graphite zone. 10 trenches were stripped every 50 feet for 550 feet of the
zone. The graphite exposed ranged from 3 feet to over 10 feet in the last 150
feet of the zone. The graphite zone trends along a steep valley that has a
strike of N85E." The author visually estimated grades of 10% to 15% graphite. A
pit 1,500 feet west of this zone exposed graphite bearing rock.


A government airborne electromagnetic-magnetic survey detected conductors on
three lines, showing parallel zones to the one which was trenched.


Based on the historical information and the preliminary assessment of the
Cameron and Lochaber Graphite Properties, Soldi Ventures is planning an
exploration program consisting of ground geophysics, drilling, bulk sampling and
metallurgical testing to further evaluate the properties.
