Soltera Mining (OTC:SLTA.PK; FRANKFURT:SN7) Moves to Produce Gold from Surface Deposits at El Torno, Argentina

Soltera Mining (OTC:SLTA.PK; FRANKFURT:SN7) Moves to Produce Gold from Surface Deposits at El Torno, Argentina


Jujuy, Argentina - April 6, 2010 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) - - Dr. Fabio Montanari, President and CEO of Soltera Mining Corp. ( OTC: SLTA.PK; Frankfurt: SN7) ( www.solteramining.com) is pleased to announce that Soltera has signed two agreements with the El Torno mineral title owner which combined give Soltera the right to mine surficial gold at El Torno together with certain exploration rights over a prospective copper area known as Sur Eureka. The two contracts should be considered together. The net result is that Soltera has paid a total of US$150,000 to the title owner and has acquired:
the rights to mine and process gold-bearing surface deposits at El Torno in a 90%-10% joint venture with the title owner for a period of four years renewable for a further four years, and at Sur Eureka, the first right of refusal for three years (until 30 July 2013) on a 2,926 hectare property that has copper-gold potential, is located strategically within the prospective copper belt area, and is only 5 km away from the El Torno gold property.

El Torno – Joint Venture to Exploit Surficial Gold
El Torno is located in northern Argentina near the international border with Bolivia. The 78 km 2 area 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 could be major open-pit targets. One interesting point is that the gold seems to be commonly free and some is in micro-plate form, thereby offering the possibility of recovery by simple mechanical rather than chemical processes (Ethical Gold Exploitation).
Soltera intends to fully investigate both the underground and open-pit targets, but has been limited to date by lack of funding. It should be noted that exploration of the large-scale gold targets will continue as revenue from the surficial exploitation or additional funding becomes available.
The El Torno area contains a third type of gold deposit known as elluvial which is formed of weathered material derived from gold-bearing bedrock. Broad patches of this material, usually 2 m to 3 m deep, are distributed throughout the area, commonly centred on the large open-pit targets. It is easily worked and, in fact, material from one area was extracted by the mineral title owner until three years ago when he ceased operations due to ill health. The weathered gold-bearing material was dug by back hoe and transported some 3 km to a gravity processing plant located just outside the El Torno title area.

Soltera has now formed a joint venture with the mineral title owner to extract and process the elluvial material. Full details of the agreement are available in an 8-K filed with the SEC (see SEC 8-K filing here). In essence the joint venture gives Soltera the rights to mine the surface deposits and process the material at the existing plant, with the mineral title owner receiving 10% of gold produced. The agreement is for four years renewable for another four years provided that half the elluvial material has been worked. In the event that production ceases for any reason, Soltera is entitled to take possession of the processing plant.

There is no firm data confirming the tonnage and grade potential, but there certainly appear to be substantial tonnages of surface material suitable for processing. We know that gold was produced from a part of this material using existing equipment for a period of at least two years and that the equipment is still in good condition and serviceable. Furthermore, we think it highly likely that considerable fine pure gold was lost in the recovery process and it may be possible, by using additional simple processing methods (such as spirals) to recover this gold.


Soltera will now immediately bring the existing processing equipment on-stream and carry out test-work on the source material. The objective is to achieve full production within the next two months.
Sur Eureka – Exploration Contract with an Option to Purchase
Sur Eureka is a mineral title area of 2926 hectares with some old mine workings and potential for copper and gold mineralisation, located about 5 km from El Torno. It is in a broad area of copper showings, with the main old Eureka Mine about 2 km to the north.
Exploration work carried out during 2007 and 2008 by the Soltera/TNR Gold Corp joint venture suggested that Sur Eureka is the most promising part of the copper-rich belt. Certainly, possession of the Sur Eureka property controls exploration throughout the area.

Soltera has a contract with the mineral title owner ( see SEC filing here), the main terms being that Soltera pays the mineral title owner US$150,000 (already paid) for the exclusive right to explore the property for six months (until end July 2010) and thereafter the right of first refusal to purchase the property for a period of three years.



Additional information on El Torno
The central parts of the El Torno gold-bearing quartz vein system have been worked since the Incas, resulting in approximately 1000 metres of underground galleries. The gold is concentrated in a 2 m thick zone along the western side of the system. More recent drilling and other exploration work by Pe ñoles and Puma Minerals estimated that a 1.3 km length of the vein could have the potential for over 500,000 ounces of gold to a depth of 100 m or 2 million ounces to a depth of 400 m at an assumed grade of 10 g/t gold ( non-NI 43-101 compliant). Stream sediment geochemical exploration by Soltera suggests that the vein system is mineralized throughout its full 14 km length. The potential will be tested by geophysical surveys and diamond drilling.



The Soltera stream sediment surveys also showed broad and strong gold anomalies over wide areas of the country rocks as far away as 3 km from the main vein. These are centered on suites of small veins and stockworks within the country rocks and they appear to be major open-pit targets. These targets will be tested by a programme of trenching, sampling and drilling.

Mining Stocks News; MDN (TSX:MDN) Posts 2009 Financial Results

Mining Stocks News; MDN (TSX:MDN) Posts 2009 Financial Results

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) - MDN Inc. (TSX:MDN) («MDN») today released its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. Management's discussion and analysis and the audited financial statements are available on the Company's website (www.mdn-mines.com) and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).



Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $7.1 million compared with $27.3 million for the same period in 2008. MDN received a royalty equivalent to 30% of the available liquidity of the Tulawaka gold mine, or $6.9 million plus interest revenue of $155,436 from investments.



The Tulawaka gold mine produced a total of 748,000 ounces of gold since the beginning of operations as an open pit in 2005. The year 2009 was the first year as an underground operation and ramps and galleries were completed down to the 7th level. Gold extraction from stopes took place in majority from the top three levels and underground exploration allowed the 2009 extracted reserves to be replaced.



Tulawaka's life of mine as of December 31, 2009 was estimated at approximately two years based on its proven and probable reserves. However, based on current successful underground drilling results, a plan to extend underground exploration drilling is being developed to define the potential for life of mine extensions. The Tulawaka mine carries no debt.

Working capital as of December 31st, 2009 amounted to 19.8 million dollars.

SUMMARY OF OPERATING RESULTS
For the year ended December 31 2009 2008

(In thousands of dollars, except for per share amounts)

Revenue 7,110 27,257

Administrative expenses 4,091 4,356

Royalties on gold price - 4,929

Foreign exchange loss (gain) 363 (972 )

Net income (loss) 824 22,957

Net earnings (net loss) per share, basic and fully diluted 0.009 0.239



Weighted-average number of shares outstanding (in thousands) 94,839 91,678





Summary results of the Tulawaka gold mine (100%)

MDN's participating interest is 30%

For the year ended December 31 2009 2008



Gold production (oz) 94,180 211,373

Gold sales (oz) 93,355 212,913

Average sales price / oz (in $ US) 966 880

Total revenues (in millions of $ US) 90.2 187.5



Serge Bureau, President and CEO of MDN commented "The year 2009 was a transition year for the Tulawaka gold mine as operations moved from open pit to underground mining. Nonetheless, MDN's strategy remains the same: to be a growing junior gold company with the uniqueness of having its exploration programs fully funded by a stable source of revenues. We are committed to remain a gold explorer, with a potential source of cash from two good mining assets, one in operation and the other moving forward with the development of the Crevier project, a secure North American source of strategic metals."



Exploration in Tanzania



Drilling programs of 2009 were mainly focused on Isambara, a 40 km2 property owned 100% by MDN and located 28 km north of the Tulawaka mine. MDN discovered a gold mineralization zone in the southern part of a soil anomaly of great dimension, which extends 3 km by 4 km. A follow-up drilling program will be initiated in 2010. Overall, MDN plans to drill 12,000 meters in 2010 on Isambara, Viyonza and Msasa properties, more than twice the drilling program of 2009.



At Ikungu, a 17.9 km2 property MMI data and drilling results confirm that gold mineralization extends over at least 2.5 km. This gold structure bears an excellent potential for a discovery by MDN and about 2,500 m of drilling is in progress on the property during 2010.

The Tulawaka project is a contractual joint-venture between MDN (30% participating interest) and Pangea Goldfields Inc. (70% participating interest), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of African Barrick Gold plc and project operator and owner through its subsidiary Pangea Minerals Ltd. The information disclosed on the Tulawaka Gold Mine is based on information provided by the Operator.

About MDN
MDN Inc.(TSX:MDN) is a mining exploration and development company with adequate financial resources to develop its promising projects in Québec and in Tanzania. MDN also remains active in the search for new business opportunities that can raise shareholder value. In addition to its 30% participation in the Tulawaka Gold Mine, MDN is the operator and owner of a majority interest in mineral licenses totalling 715 km2 around the Tulawaka gold mine in Tanzania. The company also owns a 67.5% interest in Minéraux Crevier Inc., which owns a property with a NI 43-101 niobium and tantalum resource located in the Lac St-Jean area of Québec.

("MPBA"), which holds the Amapari mine and other related assets. Due to increased volatility in the gold market since the initial transaction announcement in January 2010, certain terms of the transaction have been revised and New Gold expects to receive $37 million in cash and $16 million in Beadell shares as consideration for the sale of MPBA, versus $46 million in cash and $17 million in Beadell shares as previously disclosed. Under the revised terms, New Gold will hold approximately 19.9% of Beadell. New Gold's objective of receiving meaningful cash proceeds for the non-core Amapari asset is expected to be realized, subject to closing, and under the revised terms New Gold should have a greater share of Beadell equity and related participation in the future success of Amapari. Beadell is an Australian listed gold-focused company with exploration and development assets in Western Australia and Brazil.


"We are pleased that Beadell has completed the book build and, upon closing, the cash proceeds will only help to further enhance our financial flexibility," stated Randall Oliphant, Executive Chairman.
