Solid Expands Thickness and Continuity of Consistency of Mineralized Dykes at Doade-Presqueiras Rare Metals Project, Spain

VANCOUVER, May 16 /CNW/ --
TSXV:  SRW   


FRANKFURT:  YRS

VANCOUVER, May 16 /CNW/ -  Solid Resources Ltd. ('SOLID' or the 'Company') (TSX-V: SRW) (Frankfurt:
YRS) is pleased to provide assay results from an additional 6 holes
drilled as part of the Phase 3 program that is currently underway at
the Company's 100% owned Doade-Presqueiras rare metals project in
North-western Spain.

The thickness and number of mineralized pegmatite dykes intersected as
evidenced in the latest assay results, holes S0-11-05 through S0-11-10,
continues to expand the previously known mineralized dykes in this
northern zone. Holes 5, 6 and 7 report mineralized pegmatite
intersections at 5 different levels ranging in width from 1.1m to
9.85m.

'Based on these encouraging results and the discovery of new blind dykes
along with the continuity of the previously known dykes, the Company
will immediately be moving forward to construct a resource model for
both the north and south zones of the property.' stated Greg Pendura,
CEO and President.
