Soltoro Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SOL) has completed 22 trenches in the newly identified
Piedras Amarillas zone on the El Rayo primary silver project. A third drill rig
is being mobilized to carry out an initial 11 hole program to test the trenched
area. Piedras Amarillas consists of three sub-parallel soil anomalies located
approximately 1.5 kilometres east of the Las Bolas deposit. The soil anomalies
range from 300 metres to 800 metres in length and 50 metres to 150 metres in
width. The anomalies occur along a recently identified magnetic structure
similar in orientation to the Las Bolas deposit. Piedras Amarillas has never
been drill tested nor has any production been recorded from the area.


Results for 18 of 22 trenches have been received. Four intervals assayed greater
than 100 g/t silver including a 1.5 metre sample of 238 g/t silver. Seven
trenches begin and end in mineralization. Trenches PA-1 and PA-2 were continuous
across the structure providing a total interval of 19.8 metres averaging 77 g/t
silver and similarly trenches PA-3/PA-4 returned a continuous interval of 15.4
metres averaging 53 g/t silver. Select results are presented below:

Andrew Thomson, President and C.E.O. of Soltoro Ltd., stated: "Mineralization at
Piedras Amarillas occurs along one of three recently identified magnetic
structures parallel and east of the Las Bolas deposit. A reverse circulation
drill rig is being mobilized to complete 11 drill holes in order to assess
Piedras Amarillas' potential to add to the silver resources at El Rayo.
Meanwhile two diamond drill rigs continue to test the western extension of the
La Soledad zone."

Prior mapping and sampling has identified northeast-trending zones of quartz
stockwork with associated hematite staining in Cretaceous basaltic wallrocks.
The stockwork zone is presently known to extend for nearly 500 m along strike
(NR 113). The Piedras Amarillas soil anomalies fall along one of three magnetic
low features similar in nature, and parallel, to the Las Bolas structure. The
reverse circulation drill will also test other targets along these newly
identified structures to include the Las Bolas Northeast extension. 


Assaying from this program was completed by ALS Chemex through their office in
Guadalajara, Mexico. Gold was analyzed using a 30g fire assay with AA finish
while the silver is analyzed using a four acid "near total" digestion package.
