Sola Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SL) (PINK SHEETS:SORSF) (the "Company" or
"Sola") is pleased to provide information on the Parauna Diamond Project,
("Parauna"), in the Diamantina region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. 


Sola, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, dated November 22nd, 2010; (the
"SEA"), Sola will acquire a 30% direct ownership in Amazon Resources Limited,
("Amazon"), which owns amongst other assets, a wholly owned subsidiary named
DF-II Ltda., ("DF-II"), that carries out the Brazilian operations of Amazon. 


Parauna comprises some 500 Hectares in aggregate, distributed over 4 claims and
a further claim currently in process. The initial project has been licensed for
mining and meets all environmental controls and approvals. The property sits
within the Parauna river valley, together with its flood plain and the elevated
terraces from past river courses, which form an important part of the property
package. These higher terraces provide potentially additional exploration and
mining areas that are yet to be explored. The river has also changed its course
over the years and as such there are several unexplored areas that need to be
drilled and tested in order to quantify further potential. 


Previous exploration works on Parauna has helped define the mining plan drawn up
by Amazon staff including the CEO of Amazon, Mr. Christopher Morgan and General
Manager, Mr. Peter Kilroy. With extensive local and international mining
experience to draw upon, the company has installed a small scale commercial
processing operation in a cost effective manner. The facility can process 35
cubic meters of material per hour, and through a series of three settling ponds
is able to reuse almost 100% of process water. Following gravity separation by
conventional jigs and tables the alluvial diamonds and gold will be collected in
a separate secure facility. 


Previous exploration works have included full topographic, geophysical (ground
penetrating radar) and aerial surveying to 1:5,000 scale summarised by the
following;

Past valuation of a parcel of Parauna diamonds has indicated an average value
range of $185 to $230 per carat.


In October 2010 DF-II commissioned the Parauna processing plant and despite
normal plant start up issues processed some 65% of plant capacity over the month
on a single shift basis. The plant is currently being debottlenecked and hopes
to reach full production on a two shift basis by early 2011. 


Diamondiferous gravels are currently being mined and stockpiled to feed the
plant during the plant commissioning and testing period. The gravels are being
stripped of overburden and excavated from the flood plain in panels utilizing
backhoes and trucks. The treated gravels and overburden will be disposed of as
fill into the mined out areas. This method meets all of the mining requirements
as licensed and is restricted only by the weather conditions - in particular the
annual wet season when the river rises and operations will relocate to the
higher terraces. . Once the rainy season commences, DF-II will process
stockpiled material and in turn mobilize its mining and excavation equipment to
higher terraced areas contained within its claims, allowing production to
continue unabated during difficult weather conditions. 


It is anticipated that this strategy and operation will prove to be very
successful in the coming years and will underpin future expansion plans which
the above geological resources justify. At this time DF-II have completed the
requisite infrastructure required for an operation of this size. Labour is
readily available and as the processing operation moves from single shift
operations into a full 24 hour, 3 shifts per day rotation; DF-II will draw from
the local area for skilled and unskilled workers. 


The CEO of Amazon, Mr. Christopher Morgan, states: "This initial acquisition by
Sola will begin to provide Amazon with access to the finance markets that it has
been unable to reach in the past. This opportunity will enable Amazon to secure
the required capital, in partnership with Sola, in order to more fully exploit
the asset and resource. " 


Sola will be updating its website to include the details described in this news
release in the coming weeks.
