SLT Specialty Liquid Transportation Corp

Solitaire Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SLT) (Solitaire) is pleased to announce
that the company has signed an option to acquire a 100% interest in a
Platinum-Group Element (PGE) property north of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Previous
exploration has located 14 mineral occurrences on the property with analytical
results up to 2.2 grams per tonne of total precious metals ("TPM") or platinum +
palladium + gold. A diamond drilling program is planned to test five conductors
defined by a 2010 airborne VTEM(R) survey.


The Roaring River property consists of seven mining claims totaling 87 claim
units (3,439 acres), 144 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The property
covers a 7 kilometre by 3 kilometre oval-shaped mafic to ultramafic intrusion
comprising gabbro to melagabbro with pyroxenite inclusions. Mineralization was
first discovered in 2000 by following up a lake-sediment geochemical survey,
part of the Ontario government's Lake Nipigon Geoscience Initiative (LNGI)
program. A cluster of lake sediments with anomalous values in copper, nickel,
platinum, palladium and gold coincided with the northern part of the mafic to
ultramafic intrusion.


Prospecting on the Roaring River property by previous operators has located
fourteen separate occurrences of disseminated sulphides. Analyses gave from 21
to 675 parts per billion (ppb) platinum (Pt), 20 to 1485 ppb palladium (Pd), 18
to 2104 ppb gold (Au), 11 to 2649 parts per million (ppm) copper (Cu) and 31 to
2119 ppm nickel (Ni). TPM (Pt + Pd + Au) values range from 83 to 2173 ppb (or
2.173 g/t). All known sulphide occurrences on the property are in or intimately
associated with large xenoliths or inclusions of melagabbro or pegmatitic gabbro
or pyroxenite. The coarse xenolithic occurrences are reminiscent of mineralized
zones at the Lac des Iles palladium mine of North American Palladium Ltd., 60
kilometres to the south.


A 5-hole diamond drilling program by a previous operator in 2004, focused on IP
chargeability anomalies, which all turned out to be caused by disseminated
magnetite in a diabase sill, and hence did not locate any sulphide
mineralization. In 2010, another previous operator carried out an airborne
VTEM(R) survey with a view to locating massive or semi-massive sulphides.
Interpretation of the VTEM(R) results by Condor Consulting Inc. defined five
separate conductors, and these conductors will be the primary targets of a
diamond drilling program by Solitaire, which is planned to commence immediately.


The option agreement between Solitaire Minerals Corp. and Mike Magrum, Colin
Bowdidge and Balbina Dabrowski as optionors, calls for a cash payment of $25,000
on signing and 750,000 shares on exchange approval, $60,000 and 1,000,000 shares
after one year and $75,000 and 1,500,000 shares after two years. Work
requirements are $400,000 before December 31st, 2011, $600,000 before December
31st, 2013 and $750,000 before December 31st, 2014. The optionors will retain a
2% net smelter returns royalty, of which 1% may be repurchased for $1,000,000.
