NEWS RELEASE

Solomon Completes Sale of 80 % Interest in

Sleitat Tin Property to Brett Resources Inc.

Alaskan Joint Venture Planned

September 2nd 2008 Trading Symbol: TSX-V.SRB

Armstrong, BC – Tuesday September 2nd 2008. Solomon Resources Limited (SRB: TSX-V) is pleased to report that it has now received the final payment of 400,000 shares of Brett Resources Inc. (“Brett”) pursuant to an Option Agreement dated July 23rd, 2005 in respect of the Sleitat Tin Property in Alaska. By accelerating completion of the terms of the Option Agreement, Brett has now earned an 80% interest in the property and has issued a total of 1,000,000 shares to Solomon. Solomon retains a 20% participating interest in the property.

Solomon and Brett are working towards finalizing terms of a Joint Venture Agreement to further explore the Sleitat Tin Property.

Background:

Tin on the Sleitat Property was discovered by Cominco American Inc. and Enstar Resources Corporation during a 1983 regional exploration program. Mapping, geochemical surveys, geophysical surveys and nine drill holes totaling 723.8 metres completed between 1983 and 1987 defined and tested a complex granitic intrusion which hosted cassiterite mineralization in sheeted greisen zones.

In 1989, the United States Bureau of Mines (USBM) evaluated the tin potential of the property, and reported an inferred resource of 25.9 million tons grading 0.22% - 0.37% tin, 0.04% tungsten, and 17 grams per tonne silver. A “Qualified Person” for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101, Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators has not done sufficient work to classify the USBM’s historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and Solomon is not treating this historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves as defined in NI 43-101. Accordingly, this historical estimate may not be relied upon.

Cominco acquired 100% of the Sleitat Tin Property from Enstar in 2001, but then abandoned the ground in 2003.

Solomon staked the Sleitat Tin Property in 2005 and granted an option to Brett to acquire an 80% interest in the property. Brett conducted a preliminary drill program in 2006 comprising five drill holes totaling 702.5 metres which twinned and largely confirmed Cominco’s best hole (88-08), and went on to further substantiate and expand the property’s known greisen hosted tin-silver mineralization. Brett has now fulfilled the terms of the option agreement with Solomon and earned an 80% interest in the property, with Solomon retaining a 20% participating interest.
