      12-06 - Cornerstone and Solomon Gold sign letter of intent for
      the Cascabel gold-copper-silver property, Ecuador
=======================================================================

Mount Pearl, NL, Canada: Cornerstone Capital Resources Inc.
("Cornerstone") (TSXV-CGP) (F-GWN) (B-GWN) (OTC-CTNXF) and Solomon Gold
Plc ("Solomon Gold") (AIM code: SOLG) announce that they have signed a
binding letter of intent (LOI) outlining the terms of an option/joint
venture arrangement for Cornerstone's 100% owned 5,000 hectare Cascabel
gold-copper-silver property in northern Ecuador. Cascabel is one of two
new high potential projects acquired by Cornerstone in Ecuador during
2011.

Under the terms of the LOI, Solomon Gold has the ability to earn an
initial 65% interest in the Cascabel property by:

(1) making an initial CAD$200,000 private placement in Cornerstone
common shares based on the TSXV 30 day volume weighted average price
("VWAP") within 30 days of the execution of a definitive option
agreement embodying the terms of the LOI;
(2) spending US$7.8 million over 4 years (including US$800,000 in the
first year if drilling commences);
(3) within 60 days of the commencement of drilling on Cascabel, making
a private placement in Cornerstone shares of CAD$150,000 and issuing
Solomon Gold ordinary (i.e., common) shares to Cornerstone with a value
equal to CAD$150,000 (both based on 30 day VWAP); and
(4) making a final private placement in shares of Cornerstone of
CAD$500,000 priced at 30 day VWAP plus 20% on or before the 4th
anniversary of the execution of the definitive option agreement.
All private placements shall be subject to Exchange approval, and
proceeds of all private placements will be used for general corporate
purposes.

Prior to Solomon Gold earning its initial 65% interest, Cornerstone
will be the operator of the property on a cost plus 10% basis, and
Solomon Gold will direct the technical program.

Following Solomon Gold's earning of its initial 65% interest,
Cornerstone and Solomon Gold will enter into a joint venture and will
fund their respective proportionate shares of ongoing expenditures and
be subject to dilution according to a standard formula. After the
entering into of the joint venture, Solomon Gold will have the option
for one year to elect to earn an additional 20% interest in Cascabel by
funding exploration towards the completion of a National Instrument
43-101 ("NI 43-101") bankable feasibility study ("BFS") within 18
months of making such election. The cost to Solomon Gold of the BFS is
capped at US$20 million, after which the parties will contribute on a
pro-rata basis. If Solomon Gold timeously exercises its right to earn
the additional 20% interest, then any amounts spent by Cornerstone
prior to that exercise and post Solomon Gold earning its initial 65%
interest will be reimbursed to Cornerstone by Solomon Gold at 200% of
expenditures incurred. Within 90 days of completion of the BFS, subject
to Exchange approval, Solomon Gold shall issue to Cornerstone, at no
cost to Cornerstone, ordinary (common) shares of Solomon Gold equal to
2% of the ordinary (common) shares of Solomon Gold then issued and
outstanding. If Cornerstone fails to fund its proportionate share of
ongoing expenditures and its interest is diluted below 10%, such
interest will be converted to a 1% assignable Net Smelter Return
("NSR") on the property. Solomon Gold may purchase the NSR from
Cornerstone on the following terms: Half of the NSR for US$1.5 million
within 90 days following completion of the BFS; and the remaining half
of the NSR for US$2.0 million within 90 days following a production
decision.

"We are very pleased to have Solomon Gold as our partner on the
Cascabel project, their technical team brings solid expertise gained in
similar geological environments, and both companies have complementary
skills that will benefit the project," said Brooke Macdonald,
Cornerstone's President & CEO. "This partnership highlights
Cornerstone's project generator business model -- finding and acquiring
high potential properties, and then securing a cost and risk sharing
partnership with a value-added partner such as Solomon, and in the case
of Cascabel doing so within one year of property acquisition."

Malcolm Norris, CEO of Solomon, said, "This is an exciting time for
Solomon Gold. The Cascabel property demonstrates all the features that
we would like to see in an early stage gold-copper porphyry project,
and to partner with a highly respected company such as Cornerstone
enhances the probability of success. We will commence field work in May
and move the project towards the drilling stage as soon as possible."

About Cascabel

The Cascabel property is located approximately 120 km north of Quito
and 20 km south of the Colombian border. Access is very good via a
paved road from the provincial capital city of Ibarra to San Lorenzo
city, on the Pacific coast, and secondary gravel roads to the central
part of the 50 km2 property. An environmental license for the initial
exploration phase was granted by the Ministry of Environment on July
12, 2011. Exploration work including geology, geochemistry, geophysics
and hand-dug trenching and pitting, is allowed for a 4-year period
under this environmental license. Cornerstone has complied with all
regulations on this project and no further authorization is necessary
to initiate field work.

Maps showing the geology and exploration results to date may be viewed
at http://www.cornerstoneresources.com/s/Ecuador.asp?ReportID=478495. Highlights of assay results for the
179 rock samples (grabs and representative rock chips) announced on
September 13, 2011 show that precious and base metals are anomalous
over most of the property area:

Gold    > 0.1 g/t          > 0.5 g/t          Max. value         Average of all values
      93 samples (52%)   26 samples (14%)       5.93 g/t              0.32 g/t

Silver  > 5.0 g/t         > 30.0 g/t          Max. value         Average of all values
      43 samples (24%)   10 samples (5%)       150.0 g/t              7.25 g/t

Copper  > 0.01%             > 0.1%            Max. value         Average of all values
      144 samples (80%)  36 samples (20%)        3.23%                0.13%

Free gold has been identified by panning in most of the streams of the
area (49 pan concentrates out of 64 show the presence of gold) with
higher amounts of gold grains (10-30) concentrated in the headwaters of
the Rio Parambas, Rio Cachaco and Rio Cristal. Some of the streams have
not yet been surveyed and/or followed up.

Regional geology and mineralization

The Cascabel area is underlain by Upper Cretaceous sedimentary rocks
which are overlain by Oligocene to Miocene andesitic flows and
breccias. These units are intruded by Miocene age batholiths and stocks
of granodiorite and diorite. Major regional tectonic structures in the
area strike northeast. One such structure, the Apuela regional fault,
transects the southeast part of the Cascabel property. Several mineral
prospects which are hosted in the same geological belt, have been
identified in the Cascabel district including the Chical (Au-Ag) and
Rio Amarillo (Au-Ag-Cu) epithermal prospects located 12 km to the
northwest and 12 km to the south of the property respectively. Cascabel
is located upstream from an extensive alluvial gold district, Playa de
Oro, located 50 km to the west. The Junin porphyry copper-molybdenum
deposit (undeveloped NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 982 Mt @
0.89% Cu, 0.04% Mo and 1.9 g/t Ag) lies 65 km to the southwest.
