06/05/2014 2:00pm

Marketwired Canada


Solid Resources Ltd. ("Solid" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SRW) is pleased to
announce that Glencore Xstrata plc ("Glencore") has exercised its option to take
20% equity in the Cehegin Iron Ore Project (the "Project") located in the
Province of Murcia, south-eastern Spain. Solid and Glencore will now proceed to
finalise and sign the Joint Venture Agreement ("the JVA"), the terms of which
were announced on October 21, 2013:
(http://solidresources.com/web_documents/news_release_glencore_co-operation_agreement.pdf)


Since October, Solid and Glencore have undertaken and finalized an internal
joint due diligence report on the formerly producing Cehegin Project, including
review of historical drilling and production data. 


Glencore elected to exercise its option based on the conclusions and
recommendations of this report. The JVA (Solid 80%, Glencore 20%) will now
commence progression of exploration and phased development studies with the
ultimate objective of developing a new iron ore mine.


Greg Pendura, CEO of Solid Resources commented: "Conclusion of the JV with
Glencore will trigger the start of a Work Program. Solid will quickly submit the
documentation to obtain the necessary permits to begin drilling. The objective
of the initial work program is to increase our knowledge of the resource
potential within the concessions. The previous five months have seen the
management and technical teams of both Solid and Glencore work together to
produce the due diligence report. I would like to take this opportunity to thank
Glencore for their support and professionalism in advancing this exciting
European project."


Significant terms of the JVA are: 



--  Glencore holds a 20% interest, with Solid an 80% interest. 
--  Life of mine exclusivity and commitment to purchase all production. 
--  Both parties agree to jointly pursue third party financing when
    required.  



About the Cehegin Iron Ore Concessions

The Cehegin Iron Ore concessions were formerly owned and operated by the Spanish
Ironworks company, Altos Hornos de Vizcaya ("AHV"), the largest industrial
company in Spain for much of the twentieth century. In 1975, all 62 concessions
were grouped together into one single subsidiary of AHV called Agrupacion
Minera, SA. who exploited one of the open pit mines - Mina Maria, for its own
needs until 1989.


The 62 concessions, when fully permitted will total 3,270 hectares. Solid's 100%
wholly owned subsidiary, Solid Mines Espana also made application for an
extension of the property bordering the investigation permit for 3,630 Hectares.
Together these form a unified total of 6,900 Hectares.


Highlights of the Concessions are:



--  Availability of a large amount of historical drill and production data 
--  Historically high quality iron ore concentrate with low impurities 
--  115 km from the site to the Port of Cartagena on a toll-fee highway 
--  Rail spur to the Port of Cartagena 14 km from site, toll-free highway 7
    km from site 
--  Support of regional and municipal governments and interest groups
