TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/03/13 -- Soltoro Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: SOL) has completed six additional diamond drill holes at the El Rayo primary silver project in Jalisco, Mexico to test for sulphide mineralization at depth below the known Las Bolas deposit. Results have been received from four holes to date. On January 18, 2013, Soltoro announced results from drill hole Ray 12-152 which intersected 91.3 metres of 129 g/t silver equivalent including 11.2 metres of massive sulphide mineralization grading 537 g/t silver equivalent encountered at the base of the hole. The four holes drilled along strike from hole RAY12-152 at 50 metre spacings all encountered sulphide mineralization extending the deep sulphide zone 200 metres along strike (Ray13-158 is pending). Ray13-155 is a step-out hole drilled below Ray12-152. Results are as follows:
