Cehegin Magnetite Iron Ore Concession
• 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 on only 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 of over 100 Million Tons
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
