About Soltera Mining Corp.
Soltera Mining Corp. is an exploration company that is concentrating on the major El Torno gold project in northern Argentina. El Torno is a 78 km2 area that has potential for world-class gold deposits of two types; vein gold in a very large quartz vein system that extends intermittently north-south for 14 km and has been worked underground in the past, and dispersed gold in suites of small veins and stockworks that are separate from the main system and appear to be major open-pit targets.

About The Goldlake Group
The Goldlake Group is the first Italian organisation to invest in the mining and exploration sector of Honduras and now Argentina. The Group is privately owned, with the majority stake held by the founder of Italys third largest cement company, Colacem. It has offices in Gubbio (Italy), London (UK) and at its main operations in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
Goldlakes strategy is to mine only environmentally friendly gold without the use of cyanide or other chemicals. In Honduras, this involves working alluvial gold using a cyanide-free extraction process and a zero waste and water management system. In Argentina, El Torno is particularly attractive because much of the gold appears to be free and extractable by simple mechanical rather than chemical methods (Ethical Gold Exploitation).
The company has established a supply chain from extraction to final customer, including analytical laboratories, refining operation and direct sales to the customer, over which it has complete control. Furthermore, Goldlake has a track record of developing successful businesses in emerging markets and has a management team with significant experience in the mining sector.
