TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/02/09 -- Soltoro Ltd. (TSX: VENTURE:SOL) is conducting ongoing trenching programs to expand surface mineralization at the El Rayo Silver Gold Lead Project in Jalisco State, Mexico. At El Rayo, over 5 km's of mineralized strike length has been defined within the El Rayo and Las Bolas V shaped structures. A 5,300 metre reverse circulation drill program is currently underway to test these structures and the Highway Zone, an offset structure at the juncture of the V, which has never been drill tested. Trenching to date was carried out on portions of the Las Bolas, the El Rayo and the Highway Zone structures.

Andrew Thomson, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Trenching programs continue to define significant gold and silver mineralization along the structures currently being drill tested. Drill testing of the gold flexure, within the El Rayo structure, is underway where surface trenching returned 7.5 metres of 5.3 gpt gold. Soltoro has also planned to increase the number of drill holes in the yet to be tested Highway Zone where 400 metres of mineralized strike length has been defined."

Select trench results and drill activity in the 3 zones being explored, are summarized below;

1. Las Bolas Silver Zone: Two deep holes have been completed to test mineralization up to a 200 metre depth. A further 23 holes are planned in this zone after receipt of results from the first two deep holes have been compiled. Drilling of a kilometre long portion of the Las Bolas structure is focused on defining a NI 43-101 compliant silver resource.
