VANCOUVER, Aug. 31, 2011 /CNW/ - Solid Resources Ltd. ("SOLID" or the "Company") (TSX-V: SRW) (OTCQX: SLDRF) (Frankfurt: YRS) is pleased to provide assay results from an additional 10 holes drilled as part of the 2011 drill program that is currently underway at the Company's 100% owned Doade-Presqueiras rare metals project in North-western Spain, 25 km east of the port city of Pontevedra.
"I am encouraged by the continued positive grade results for all metals in the extensions of Coto Tocayo and Acebedo.", commented Greg Pendura, CEO and President. "These results, combined with the near surface intersections of the mineralized pegmatite dykes, demonstrate the significance of the southern regions of the property."
Drill holes SO-11-19, SO-11-20, SO-11-21, SO-11-22 and SO-11-23 correspond to two areas of the southern extension of the deposit (respectively called Coto Tocayo and Acebedo) with favourable and consistent results for all metals. In both areas three of the high grade mineralised dykes are almost at surface level. At Acebedo, the core from drill hole SO-11-23 has a 12.8m-wide intersection commencing 16.7m down-hole and at Coto Tocayo drill hole SO-11-19 has a 1.45m-wide intersection commencing only 3m down-hole, while hole SO-11-20 has a 5.7m-wide intersection commencing 9.3 m down-hole.
