Precious Metals Review of Soltera Mining Inc. (OTCBB:SLTA) provides insight into the opportunity afforded investors as Soltera focuses on moving forward on the gold-rich El Torno project in the NW Argentina. This exciting exploration venture is the subject of a recently published article by regular Kitco contributor, gold and silver mining expert, journalist David Bond. Precious Metals Review has published a synopsis of the article and provides full text of the aforementioned subject article.
David Bond has a well informed pro precious metals readership at SilverMiners.com and Wallace Street Journal. He is based out of Idaho. David Bond completed a site visit to Soltera's El Torno project and provides a compelling reason to be long SLTA.

Penoles further inferred that the vein, which is open at strike and depth, could run as long as 2.5 km and extend as deep 400 meters with the potential for more than 2 million ounces of gold. Grab samples have run as high as 130 grams/tonne disseminated Au in the quartz".
"The El Torno property which we toured with Soltera President and CEO Dr. Fabio Montanari (along with our favourite Swiss, Georg Stangel of Stein-am-Rhein), was sporadically surface-mined by the Incas, then the Spanish and the Jesuits after the New World was discovered by Old Europe, mostly for small nuggets by trenching. A 750-meter adit was driven onto the property by previous explorers, which we explored with the aid of carbide lamps - everybody in Wallace has a carbide lamp on his mantel or on a book shelf, but this was the first time we'd ever actually used one..."
