Soltoro’s Underground Sampling Returns 11.57 Metres of 449 gpt Silver, 0.13 gpt Gold & 3.54% Lead at the El Rayo Project

June 25, 2013

Soltoro Ltd. (SOL:TSX.V) has completed Phase 1 of its underground sampling program at the historic Catarina mine on the El Rayo primary silver project in Jalisco, Mexico. The program is being completed to confirm and expand a historic silver resource identified by the Consejo de Recursos Minerales in the 1980s. The southern portion of the El Rayo structure hosts the Catarina mine, where five separate high-grade silver ore shoots were mined by the Spaniards beginning in 1546. Mineralization at the Catarina mine has been exposed on two levels 50 metres apart over approximately 500 metres of strike.

During Phase 1, Soltoro collected 340 underground channel and chip-channel samples over a 385 metre strike length on the main level of the mine. Phase 1 was designed to better understand the geology of the Catarina mine area and confirm the historic silver resource. Results are as follows:

¹ Channel samples are continuous samples cut with a portable rock saw while chip-channel samples are continuous samples taken with a rock hammer.
² True widths are based on a dip of 75 degrees for the Catarina structure.
³ Four samples in this interval exceeded the upper limit of detection for lead. Because overlimit assays have not yet been received, these values are reported as 20.00% lead.

Andrew Thomson, President and C.E.O. of Soltoro Ltd., stated: Soltoros is investigating the underground mine potential in the main resource area at our El Rayo primary silver project. The historic Catarina mine area represents an attractive underground high-grade silver target. Sampling of the second level of the mine will begin shortly which, along with surface trenching and drilling, will be used to establish a resource in the Catarina mine area. Soltoro expects to define new target areas for drilling to expand our understanding of the mineralization at depth.

Soltoro has completed 20 drill holes in the Catarina mine area, seven of which were designed to test mineralization at depth. The best result was from drill hole Ray07-23, which intersected 117 g/t silver over a drilled width of 45 metres. These drill holes, along with trenching results from a prior Soltoro sampling program, will be used to define an NI 43-101 compliant resource at Catarina.

Mineralization at the Catarina Mine is typical of low-sulphidation epithermal deposits with a vein-breccia surrounded by stockwork veining in altered volcanic rocks. Base metal sulphides, principally galena, along with silver-bearing sulphides and sulfosalts, occur in a matrix of quartz with lesser carbonate and hematite.

Assaying is done by ALS-Chemex through their facility in Guadalajara, Mexico. Gold was analyzed using a 30 g fire assay with AA finish while the silver is analyzed using a four acid near total digestion package, lead overlimits were analyzed using volumetric titration. Mr. Steven T. Priesmeyer, C.P.G., Vice President Exploration for Soltoro Ltd. and a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 has reviewed and approved the contents of this press release.

Soltoro is engaged in exploration for gold and silver deposits in Mexico. Soltoro holds in excess of 41,000 hectares of ground in Jalisco State. Soltoro is focused on expanding silver resources at the El Rayo silver project while seeking partners to advance the balance of its projects. Soltoro holds 15% of the common shares of Argentum Silver Corp. with a 3% N.S.R. payable on Argentum Silvers Victoria and Coyote properties. Soltoros La Tortuga project is under option to Gold Reserve Inc. Soltoro has 59,783,037 shares outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol SOL.

Argentum Silver announces that, as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission (the BCSC), they are issuing the following news release to clarify their disclosure. Argentum Silver advises readers not to rely on such prior disclosure that is clarified in this news release as they may continue to be found in the public domain.
On May 13, 2013, Argentum Silver issued a news release (the News Release) containing a range of tonnage and grades for a target potential (or target deposit) of contained silver content for the El Tajo Zone on its Coyote Project in Jalisco Mexico (the Coyote Project). This news release references and was based upon an independent potential target study (the Study) conducted by GeoVector Management Inc. of Nepean, Ontario, which was completed on March 27, 2013. The potential target in the News Release and the Study are contrary to and prohibited by section 2.3.(1)(a) of National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) because they are not conceptual estimates of the potential quantity and grade of a target for further exploration (exploration target).
Argentum Silver hereby retracts the News Release and the Study, including all references to the target potential. Although the News Release did not provide a link to the Study, the Study was made available by a link on Argentum Silvers website on May 13, 2013. The link to the Study on Argentum Silvers web site was removed by Argentum Silver within 48 hours.
The discussion and analysis in the Study indicates the target was based on precise calculations using specific key assumptions and parameters, all of which are not consistent with the conceptual nature of an exploration target. The Study reported the estimate at various cut-off grades to the nearest tonne and at very precise grades that are again inconsistent with a conceptual estimate of potential. The Study also referred to the target potential as a resource, a deposit and an orebody, terms synonymous with mineral resources or mineral reserves. The Study further treated the target potential as a mineral resource by suggesting, amongst other things, that it has potential to be economically mined and will be developed by Argentum. The Study further failed to include the required cautionary language required for exploration targets. Argentum Silver wishes to confirm that there is no current mineral resource for the Coyote Project.
Argentum Silver wishes to clarify that the Study is not a Technical Report as defined in NI 43-101. Argentum Silver retracts the Study as it is not compliant with NI 43-101 and, as such, should not be relied upon. The sole dissemination of the Study was through the link on its website. Argentum Silver removed the link to the Study from its website on May 15, 2013, and will not further disseminate the Study to the public. Argentum Silver will promptly disclose any material mineral resource estimate it receives for the Coyote Project and file a supporting technical report thereafter.
The BCSC has advised Argentum Silver that the release of the Study triggered the requirement to prepare and file a technical report on the Coyote Project under NI 43-101 within 45 days. Argentum Silver is currently proceeding to satisfy this requirement.
The disclosure of technical and scientific information in todays news release by Argentum Silver was reviewed and approved by Ben Whiting, M.Sc., P.Geo , a director of Argentum Silver and a qualified person under NI 43-101.
