Solomon Resources Ltd. announced its preliminary exploration of the Rurembo Tin Project in the Republic of Rwanda. The Rurembo licence area includes highly prospective pegmatite swarms immediately adjacent to the former Belgian-owned cassiterite-columbite-tantalite mine at Gatumba and unexplored strike extensions of that metallogenic district to the north. The Rurembo Prospecting Licence is situated in the northwestern portion of Rwanda and extends from the city of Gitarama (population 83,000) in the south to the city of Ruhengeri (population 87,000) in the north.

Limited commercial services and accommodation are available in both Gitarama and Ruhengeri, and most supplies and services in support of exploration may be sourced from the city of Kigali (population 909,000). The Rurembo licence area is dissected by the Nyabarongo River (the upper reaches of the White Nile) which drains the highlands south and west of the licence area and flows through the central portion of the licence area towards Kigali and Lake Victoria. Elevation ranges from 1,400 meters in the major river valleys to 2,384 meters in the rugged uplands west of the Nyabarongo and south of Kijina to 2,255 meters in the highlands west of Gatumba.

The licence area is accessible by paved two lane highway from Kigali. The southern portion near Gatumba is approximately 1.5 hour drive from Kigali and the northern portion near Ruhengeri is approximately 2.0 hour drive from Kigali. There are good quality paved highways flanking the permit area to the east and west, and a paved artery follows the Nyarabongo and Mukungwa Rivers running north-south in the central portion of the area.

Dirt roads run off these main corridors at irregular intervals, passable in the dry season with four wheel drive vehicles and with caution in the wet season. Many of the bridges on these secondary roads have been out since the genocide, and Solomon may have to erect temporary crossings in some areas. The climate of Rwanda is temperate, with two rainy seasons (March to May and October to November).

The high altitude of Rwanda provides the country with a pleasant tropical highland climate, with a mean daily temperature variation of less than 2 degrees C. Temperatures vary considerably from region to region because of the variations in altitude. At Kigali, on the central plateau, the average temperature is 21 degrees C. The exploration season in the licence area extends throughout the year. There are no climatic restrictions on the conduct of field exploration.
