Solomon Resources has signed a contract with Falcon Drilling Mongolia for diamond drilling on the Dornogobi licences within the Sainshand Uranium Province of south-eastern Mongolia.

The Dornogobi 3 & 4 licences total 1905sqkm and are located over the western extension of the Ooshiin Govi Basin.

Earlier this year the world's third largest uranium producer, Compagnie Francaise de Mines et Metaux (CFMM) discovered a large roll-front type uranium deposit in a sedimentary basin at the eastern end of the Ooshiin Govi Basin and is conducting an extensive, eight-drill exploration and development program on the discovery.

Solomon geologists have conducted regional prospecting, mapping, and sampling on the Dornogobi licences and have identified several roll-front uranium potential target areas.

Airborne spectrometric surveys conducted by Soviet workers in 1981 identified more than 35 ground spectrometer uranium anomalies associated with primary uranium mineralization in bedrock. These targets are within the boundaries of Solomon's Baruunbayan Uranium Project, which includes the Dornogobi licences.

Solomon's diamond drill program is designed to begin testing the potential of the western end of Ooshiin Govi basin for large tonnage, insitu leach amenable roll-front uranium mineralization. The programme will also test at depth the primary uranium mineralization observed in bedrock outcropping within the Baruunbayan Property.
