The Company has entered into an Option Agreement, subject to regulatory approval, to purchase a property located 105 kilometres northwest of Lillooet, British Columbia, Canada. The property has gold potential with some results (in 1987) by Esso Resources Canada of previous drilling being:

These results were reported by Esso Resources Canada and are not compliant to NI 43-101 standards. Therefore there is no assurance as to their accuracy and investors are warned not to rely upon them.
The option agreement calls for staged payments to the optionor up to in total 8,300,000 shares in the Company. These payments will be made upon a series of milestones advancing the gold property through a proposed $950,000 exploration and drill program. If all options are exercised Sola will own rights to 100% of the property and the optionor would retain a 2% NSR. The optionor is a company that is owned and controlled by a director and officer of Sola. The transaction contemplated is not at arms length and, accordingly, such transaction has been approved by an independent sub-committee of Sola's Board of Directors and is subject to regulatory approval.
The Company is in discussions for the financing of the development of the property. The option exercise will be contingent upon securing financing for the project.
As previously reported, the Company continues its capital raising efforts. The Company also continues to seek out opportunities, alternative financing arrangements and potential JV partners that will enhance future shareholder value.
