Solitaire Minerals Corp. Mobilizes Drill to the Riou Lake Uranium Property, in the Athabasca Basin

Monday, September 10, 2007

September 10, 2007: Solitaire Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SLT) is pleased to report that a drilling contract has been signed with Cyr Drilling International to commence diamond drilling of uranium targets on its Riou Lake Project within approximately two weeks time. Drilling had been delayed for the past few months due to the unavailability of a suitable drilling rig. The Riou Lake Project lies within the prolific Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan about 40 kilometers southwest of the settlement of Stony Rapids.

As previously reported, the targets to be tested lie where the intersection of faults believed to displace the Athabasca sandstone coincide with strong soil gas hydrocarbon (SGH) geochemical anomalies. The SGH anomalies were interpreted by Activation Laboratories Ltd. of Ancaster, Ontario. The two main areas of interest were designated the Prime Target Area and the Secondary Target Area on the Main Grid. Activation's report states, "There is a very high probability of uranium targets at the primary and secondary target areas shown at the main grid".

Jim Kermeen, M.Sc.,P.Eng., the Qualified Person for this release states, " the SGH anomalies were selected by Activation without prior knowledge of the detailed geology on the property; the fact that the two strongest anomalies coincide within areas already deemed favourable based on structural geology makes them very interesting drill targets".

Red Lake North Update
The planned eleven hole 3300m summer drill program is progressing successfully, and is currently on the seventh hole. The eleven holes will be drilled at four distinct target areas along the projected extension of a gold bearing Sericite Schist trend as determined by Rubicon Minerals Corp., the project operator.

Terry Bursey, P.Geo, a qualified person under National instrument 43-101 will advance the Red Lake North project.
