Soldi Ventures Performs Geological and Geophysical Surveys on the Cameron Graphite Property

Soldi Ventures Inc. (Soldi) (TSX VENTURE:SOV) reports that it has completed
preliminary geological and geophysical surveys of its Cameron Township flake
graphite property near Ste-Therese-de-la-Gatineau, Quebec. The historic graphite
zone appears to have a geophysical expression as a VLF electromagnetic response
that has been traced for a minimum strike length of 200 metres, and is still
open to the southeast. 


Soldi has sent some samples to the lab to be assayed and is currently awaiting
results.


The graphite-bearing zone, in which a small pit was excavated for the purpose of
taking a bulk sample in 1965, occurs in a belt of crystalline limestone,
commonly referred to as marble, which is at least 250 metres wide. This rock
type is common throughout much of the Grenville Geological Province. The
graphite forms coarse, lustrous flakes in a zone between 5 and 6 metres in
thickness, which dips to the northeast at approximately 30 degrees. A VLF
electromagnetic survey of the area around the occurrence shows that the graphite
zone coincides with a weak conductor which has been traced to the southeast for
approximately 200 metres, and is open in that direction. The conductor does not
extend to the northwest, even though drilling to the west of the pit in 1965 is
reported to have intersected graphite in "all but one" of 23 drill holes.


Unlike the graphite-bearing zones that are so common in greenstone belts in
older parts of the Canadian Shield, the Cameron graphite zone is not a strong
conductor, and there is no reason to expect it to be a strong conductor. The
graphite flakes (some of which are up to 2 centimetres across) are disseminated
through the marble and are mostly not in contact with one another, hence
electrical conductivity is limited. The richer streaks and bands, where the
graphite is nearly massive, although they are numerous, are mostly not
continuous for more than a couple of metres, so that there is no reason to
expect a strong electromagnetic response (or even any electromagnetic response)
from the mineralization.


All reports of historical statutory work ("assessment reports") for the Cameron
property and surrounding area have been obtained, and there is no record of any
work on the Cameron graphite property other than the 1965 bulk sampling,
metallurgical testing and limited drilling that were disclosed in Soldi
Ventures' news release dated February 16th, 2012.


The company plans a first-phase diamond drilling program of approximately 1,000
metres to test the graphite zone over a length of 400 metres and to a vertical
depth of 100 metres.


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.
