About Solstice

Solstice announced September 15, 2021 a transformative acquisition which, at closing, will comprise a portfolio of 86 projects in Ontario and Quebec of which 45 are currently providing cash flow through share and cash options payments and are being actively explored by third parties, 10 have stand alone royalties and a further 30 are available for option and potential additional cash flows. The Company expects pay-back of this acquisition within three years. As part of the transaction, Solstice buys-back its RLX option agreement in Red Lake which, at closing will be 100% owned and royalty-free. See www.solsticegold.com for additional details. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and approval of the TSX-V.

Solstice also engaged in the exploration of our high-quality exploration assets in top tier jurisdictions. Our 55 km2 Red Lake Extension project along with the combined 96 km2 Taillon, Moreau and Berens projects are located on the north end of the prolific Red Lake Gold District in Ontario. Solstice has extensive exploration experience in Red Lake. During his successful 16 years of exploration in the Red Lake camp, Solstice Chairman David Adamson was a co-award winner for the discovery of the Bateman Gold deposit which was recently acquired by Evolution Mining for C$343 million1. In addition, David was instrumental in the acquisition of many of the Red Lake district properties in the Battle North portfolio that was also acquired by Evolution Mining. In Nunavut, our district scale KGP project covers 886 km2 with certain other rights covering an adjacent 683 km2, all with no underlying option or earn in payments. KGP has seen over $12MM dollars spent on significant field work, identified a 10 km2 gold boulder field and now prepared with multiple drill-ready targets. KGP is located in Nunavut, Canada, only 26 km from Rankin Inlet and approximately 7 km from the Meliadine gold deposits owned by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited. Solstice has approximately 99.8 million shares outstanding.

Solstice is committed to responsible exploration and development in the communities in which we work. For more details on Solstice Gold, the Red Lake Extension Project and the KGP Project, please see our Corporate Presentation available at www.solsticegold.com.
