Soltoro Ltd. (SOL:TSX.V) has discovered the previously unknown Talayote gold zone as part of its ongoing regional mapping and sampling program. Soil sampling detected several isolated gold anomalies in the area and follow-up geologic mapping and rock sampling revealed a series of northwest-trending quartz veins. Veins in the Talayote area are similar in orientation to those in the El Rayo gold deposit, located approximately 1.5 kilometres to the southeast. Thirty-two samples have been collected from the Talayote area to date. Select sample results are as follows:
TARGET AREA | SAMPLE TYPE | WIDTH1 | Au | Ag |
Talayote | Chip-Channel | 0.30 | 2.52 | 23 |
Talayote | Chip-Channel | 0.60 | 2.02 | 6 |
Talayote | Chip-Channel | 0.60 | 2.98 | 15 |
Talayote | Chip-Channel | 0.20 | 1.50 | 14 |
Talayote | Chip-Channel | 2.30 | 2.18 | 2 |
Including | 0.50 | 11.40 | 6 | |
La Crucesita | Chip-Channel | 0.40 | 7.77 | 26 |
la Crucesita | Chip-Channel | 0.30 | 1.20 | 14 |
1 Samples are reported as sampled widths.
Andrew Thomson, President and C.E.O. of Soltoro Ltd., stated: Soltoro continues to discover new mineralized zones at El Rayo as part of its regional mapping and sampling programs. The newly identified Talayote gold zone represents a series of high-grade gold veins sub-parallel to the El Rayo gold zone. Trenching and further sampling is required to define drill targets.”
Mineralization in the Talayote area consists of a series of northwest-trending quartz veins dipping steeply to the northeast. Host rocks are andesite and basalt flows and tuffs similar to the El Rayo and Las Bolas deposits elsewhere on the Property. At this time it is unclear whether these vein systems represent displaced segments of the northwest-trending El Rayo structure or whether they are separate en echelon vein systems. The El Rayo gold deposit contains an Indicated resource of 22,600 ounces gold (380,000 tonnes averaging 1.85 g/t gold) and an Inferred resource of 18,900 ounces gold (365,000 tonnes averaging 1.61 g/t gold).

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.

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.
