• Current analysis of the historical drill data supports an upgrade of the measured and indicated
reserves to a minimum of 27 Million Tons. This is only on 3 of the 62 concessions.
• Strike zones in excess of 1,000m in length and with a thickness of 15-50m.
• Aerial magnetometric information supports potential Inferred Resource increase
All of the "reserves" and "resources" described and documented by previous operators are considered to be "Historic
Resources" under NI 43-101, as they were estimated prior to February 1, 2001. Solid is not treating any of the estimates
as a current NI 43-101-compliant resource, and the historical estimates should not be relied upon, however,
management does consider these to be accurate and is taking measures to upgrade to a NI 43-101 compliant resource.

Alberta-1 Tin/Tantalum/ Lithium 2012 Drill Program Overview
Area of 2012 Drill Program which upgraded the inferred and indicated to become NI 43-101 compliant “measured” resource to meet the requirements of the Spanish Mining Authorities for a Mining Permit.
Average economical grades for just the northernmost
“open-pit” zone – Presqueiras:
• 633 ppm Tin (~1.5 lbs./t @ $10.00 lb.)
• 91 ppm Tantalum ( 1/5 lb./t @ $125 lb.)
• 0.45% Lithium (~10 lbs./t @ $2.75 lb.)
• Commercial value ~ $67/t
