Sonid North and Sonid South Gold Projects

King Solomon has two regional gold exploration ventures in the Sonid Zuoqi district. The Sonid North and Sonid South tenements (24.8 and 121.9 sq km respectively) adjoin gold projects being explored or developed by other parties.

While the Company’s exploration on these tenements is still at a relatively early stage, it has already discovered four multiple quartz vein prospects in the Sonid North property (North Trend, Mystery, Black Reef and Quartz Chain). From a very small amount of sampling undertaken to date, encouraging gold indications have already been found at the Mystery prospect.  Although still in its early stages, reconnaissance prospecting at Sonid South has yielded a quartz-magnetite shear zone and a number of small quartz occurrences, some of which have already been pitted by illegal miners.

While King Solomon has been carefully studying the gold-mineralised mesothermal quartz veins being discovered in the Sonid district, its interest in this style of deposit as a mining target is secondary and limited either to substantial sized, potential long-life individual veins or to situations where there may be vein packages amenable to bulk-mining.  Its principal interest is in disseminated gold mineralisation, a consequence of the potential for large-scale offered by this style of deposit.  Its belief in the potential for local disseminated deposits is based on:

• An occurrence of this type at the Beyinhar project of TXS.V listed Golden China Resources Corporation (adjacent to Sonid South);
• The recognition of a similar style occurrence elsewhere in the district;
• The existence of very large strike-persistent shear zones in the district;
• The ongoing trend of gold mineralisation discoveries throughout the district;
• The existence of favourable structures and lithologies i.e. imbricate thrust sets and carbonate-rich sediments;
• The several square kilometre sizes of the identified vein fields; and,
• The realisation that such targets are likely, by virtue of their geometry and mineralisation style, to be relatively difficult to encounter and recognise in the semi-desert environment without a specifically targeted program, and consequently, likely to be missed by the previous prospectors.

With this exploration target in mind and building upon its initial satellite imagery analysis, King Solomon plans a step by step program focused on geologically-targeted geochemical surveys (BLEG, soil, lag and/or rock chip as appropriate) followed by more intensive surface and sub-surface sampling (trenching, pitting, RAB drilling) as merited by the nature of the targets that may emerge.
