Solid begins second phase of drilling on Doade-Presqueira in Spain

EDMONTON, May 3 /CNW/ - Solid Resources is pleased to report that on
April 27th it commenced the second phase of drilling on its Doade-Presqueria
concession located in Northwestern Spain, 25 kilometres east of the port city
of Pontevedra.
The first segment of this 20 hole core drilling program will consist of
approximately 7 vertical holes totaling approximately 850 metres and will be
carried out on the Northern end of the concession. The drilling program will
be overseen by Tony Spat, MSc., P.Eng., Vice President of Mining and
Exploration, and Rolf Burkhardt, Phd. Geol, Manager of Field Exploration. The
goal of the program is to determine the continuity of the grades identified by
the initial scout program and to establish tonnage. First assay results are
expected the third week of May.
Solid has previously drilled 10 scout holes on the property with assay
results showing exceptionally high values for Lithium, Tantalum, Tin,
Rubidium, and Cesium. Because each hole produced excellent results, Management
is confident that the results of this second phase will be very positive and
lead to quantification of resources and reserves.

shareholders to make 2005 a successful year for the Company. The President of
