Vancouver, Canada, September 24, 2005 -- Solomon Resources Ltd. (SRB:TSX-V) announces that it has completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,926,000 units at a price of $0.35 each for proceeds of $674,100. The placement was oversubscribed by 426,000 units ($149,100).

Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half of a share purchase warrant.

The shares issued and shares issuable on the exercise of the warrants will be subject to restrictions on resale until January 22, 2005. If the closing trading price of Solomon?s shares for five consecutive trading days equals or exceeds, after such four month restricted resale period, $0.45 per share in the first year or $0.60 per share in the second year, Solomon can give the warrant holders notice that they must exercise the warrants or the warrants will expire within 20 days of such notice.
