  JUJUY, ARGENTINA, Jun 29 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Dr. Fabio Montanari, President and CEO of Soltera Mining Corp. (PINK
SHEETS: SLTA)(FRANKFURT: SN7) is pleased to present Soltera's conclusions
on the potential of their El Torno gold property in Argentina.

    To date, Soltera has carried out two extensive geochemical sampling
programmes and a detailed structural survey and reinterpretation of the
geology of El Torno. The results of this initial exploration work show
that:

    - The main vein system appears mineralized along its full length of 14
kilometres.

    - The vein system is folded into an anticlinal form and the tested
mineralization in the west wing could extend across into the east wing,
doubling the gold potential.

    - There are broad and strong stream sediment geochemical gold anomalies
over wide areas of the country rocks as far away as 3 km from the main
vein, each centered on suites of small veins and stockworks that may be
major open-pit targets.

    - The exploration area has been effectively reduced from 80 km2 to 10 km2.

    - Within this precisely defined 10 km2 area there is potential for
several million ounces of both underground and open-pit gold.

    The next step is to carry out a two-pronged exploration programme on both
the geo-chemical anomalies and the main vein system. Mapping, surface
sampling and small, specifically targeted, geophysical programmes will be
used to define drill targets.

    Soltera's President/CEO, Fabio Montanari, states, "We are very pleased
with the results of our initial exploration efforts. On top of the very
large near-surface vein, we now believe we have a doubling of the vein
potential due to the anticlinal fold and several broad and strong (2-4
km2) geochemical gold anomalies suggesting large open-pit potential."

    Soltera is currently in the process of raising funding to carry out these
programmes.

    About El Torno

    El Torno is located in the Andean Cordillera near the international
border with Bolivia and is within a major mineralized belt that extends
several hundred kilometers through Argentina into Bolivia. The project
covers an area of 78 km2 that contains a very large gold-bearing quartz
vein system that extends intermittently north-south for 14 km with veins
up to 20 metres wide.

    The central parts of the system have been worked since the Incas,
resulting in approximately 1000 metres of underground galleries. More
recent work by Penoles 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 metres or 2 million ounces to a depth of 400 metres at an
assumed grade of 10 g/t gold (non-NI 43-101 compliant).
