Current Operations

The “Pacific Rim of Fire” is noted for its discoveries of giant porphyry copper/gold ore bodies containing in excess of 40 million ounces of gold equivalent as gold and copper. These ore bodies include Grasberg in Irian Jaya, Ok Tedi and Frieda River on the PNG mainland, and Panguna on Bougainville . Solomon Gold directors believe the Guadalcanal geology indicates the project area could host ore bodies of similar magnitude. Independently, The South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) in 2001 concluded, in a review of the region, that “Solomon Islands was (is) perhaps the most prospective of the Pacific island nations for minerals after Papua New Guinea ” .



The Mt Perry Goldfield, located in South East Queensland, a four-hour drive from Brisbane, is host to more than 60 named (and numerous other unnamed) historic mines and workings.  The area lies adjacent to Lihir Gold’s 100kozpa Mt Rawdon Gold Mine on the intersection of two major geological fault structures; the Mt Perry and Darling Lineaments.  Several high grade vein style and lower grade high tonnage porphyry style gold targets have already been identified by mapping sampling, geophysics and exploration drilling.



The Rannes Project, part of the Company’s 100% owned Central Minerals Pty Ltd., is located in Queensland, Australia. The project comprises a series of prospects; Crunchie, Homestead, Kauffmans, Cracklin Rosie and Porcupine Pie.

At the Rannes Project, mineralisation similar in texture and chemistry, as well as structural settings to that on the Carlin trend has been identified and substantiated with drilling. Solomon Gold acquired Central in February 2010 and in doing so consolidated a 200km length of exploration ground prospective for Carlin style gold mineralisation. The zone lies on the eastern faulted edge of the coal rich Bowen Basin, in an environment favourable for the introduction of mineral bearing granitic intrusions and related volcanic centres.



At the Mbetilonga Project significant copper and gold rock chip samples have been collected from the Kolokepi and Ngalimane Areas, within the eastern Mbetilonga Project and these results include up to 40.7% copper, 159g/t gold 1,190g/t silver and 2,510ppm Molybdenum. Mineralisation and alteration observed in the Kolokepi and Ngalimane prospect areas indicate possible intermediate sulphidation vein, high sulphidation and skarn mineralisation targets. Porphyry copper-gold mineralisation is also possible and targeted. During January 2011, Newmont commenced drilling at the Vuanimaho Prospect. Diamond drill hole MBT001 returned elevated gold and anomalous copper values to 0.51%.

The Work Program for the 2012 field season on the Guadalcanal tenements has not been finalised, but it has been indicated that work will be focussed on drill testing the porphyry / epithermal targets at Mbetilonga, and porphyry / skarn targets at Sutakiki as they become drill ready. Field work will also be conducted to advance the Kuma Projects and a prospectivity assessment of the Central Guadalcanal Project will be made by reconnaissance BLEG sampling. In addition, interpretation of the Chikora / Levisivisi data will be finalised and a field mapping program may be undertaken at the Mbina Prospect.




The 100% owned Prospecting Licence on Fauro Island Project (“Fauro Project”) was granted on 20 November 2009 
for a period of three years and covers 70km2 (granted) of mineralised volcanic rim on the western side and a further 67km2 (licence extension application) on the eastern side, over Piru and Masamasa Islands. The Fauro Project area covers the remnant rims of a volcano which gave off silica and gold rich mineral fluids as the volcano waned. These fluids soaked into porous and absorbent volcanic rubble known as breccias and agglomerates and precipitated gold and sulphide minerals. Copper and molybdenum sulphide mineralisation are evident in porphyry bodies in the core of the volcanic complex. Alluvial gold is known to be common in the streams draining the Fauro prospects on the western side of the volcanic rim.
