Brisbane, Mar 21, 2011 AEST (ABN Newswire) - D'Aguilar Gold Limited (ASX:DGR) are pleased to draw the attention of shareholders to Friday night's announcement by Solomon Gold Plc (LON:SOLG) regarding the receipt of further results from its exploration efforts on Fauro Island, Solomon Islands.

HIGHLIGHTS

- New zones of gold mineralisation have been intersected at Fauro in diamond drill hole FDD002.

- Further diamond drill holes (FDD003, 004 and 005) are planned from the same drill pad to test the intersection along strike and at 100m and 200m depth.

- Additional vein sets identified in surface trenching at the Meriguna South Prospect.

- Meriguna South is interpreted to consist of six major vein sets and interset veins over a 300m long x 200m wide surface area.

Solomon Gold have released results from further gold bearing vein sets intersected in the second diamond drill hole (FDD002) at the Meriguna Prospect on the Fauro Island Project in Solomon Islands. The assays include encouraging results, including intersections of significant gold mineralisation. The results (intersections, grades, etc) are contained in the Solomon Gold release.

Similar potential is expected at Meriguna North, Kiovakase and Ballyorlo prospects on Fauro Island.

Additional surface samples have been taken whilst cutting the IP survey lines over the Prospects on Fauro Project.

Induced Polarization Survey

An 11km2 IP survey is being conducted over the identified Prospects on Fauro of Ballyorlo, Kiovakase, Meriguna, Bataha, Ballteara and Northern Fauro to identify subsurface mineralised rocks with disseminated sulphides. Whilst clearing the survey lines for the IP survey, additional surface samples have been taken. Encouraging rock samples were taken in the northern area of Meriguna.

In the southern area of Ballyorlo, rock samples have been taken from a mineralised porphyry outcrop discovered during the IP survey line clearing. No assay results have yet been received.

Further trench sampling is planned in these areas.

Next Drill Holes

Diamond drill holes: FDD003, 004 and 005 are planned from same drill pad to test the intersection along strike, and at 100 and 200m depth. The Company will continue to drill test the six known vein sets at between surface and 400metres depth across the 300m strike extent of the prospect.
