VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 12, 2025--Solstice Gold Corp.
(TSXV: SGC) (“Solstice”, “we”, “our” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it intends
to complete a financing by way of a non-brokered private placement for aggregate proceeds of
$850,000 (the “Offering”), with significant participation from all members of the Board of
Directors and Senior Management. The Offering will consist of the issuance of a combination of
the following securities:
i. Premium flow-through common shares (the “Premium FT Shares”) at a price of $0.049
per Premium FT Share;
ii. Flow-through common shares (the “FT Shares” and together with the Premium FT
Shares, the “Flow-Through Shares”) at a price of $0.04 per FT Share, each Flow-
Through Share qualifying as a flow-through share for purposes of the Income Tax Act
(Canada) (the “ITA”); and
iii. Units of the Company (“Units”) at $0.035 per Unit, each Unit comprised of one common
share of the Company (each, a “Share”) and one half warrant where one full warrant
(each, a “Warrant”) is exercisable for one Share at $0.05 for 12 months from the closing
date of the Offering.
The gross proceeds raised from the Offering will be used by the Company: (i) $650,000 or 100%
from the Flow-Through Shares to fund exploration programs qualifying as “Canadian
Exploration Expenses” and “flow-through mining expenditures” (as those terms are defined in
the ITA) at the Company’s mining projects; and (ii) $200,000 or 100% from the Units for
general corporate and working capital. The majority of the proceeds will go to funding gold
exploration at the Company’s Strathy Gold Project.
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about March 31, 2025 (the “Closing
Date”) and is subject to receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals, including the approval of
the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). By way of private placement, the Flow-Through
Shares will be offered to residents of Canada and the Units will be offered to residents of Canada
and other jurisdictions as determined by the board of directors of the Company. All securities
issued under the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day
from the Closing Date and all securities with a price of less than $0.05 will be subject to a TSXV
hold period.
In accordance with the TSXV policies, the Company is relying on a minimum pricing exception
to issue securities at less than $0.05 per listed security. Accordingly, the Company will not issue
securities under the Offering comprising more than 100% of its issued and outstanding Shares.
No proceeds of the Offering are expected to be paid to “Non-Arm’s Length Parties” as defined in
the policies of the TSXV) or toward Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the policies of
the TSXV). The Company will provide a detailed use of proceeds on a percentile basis at closing
of the Offering when the number of Premium FT Shares, FT Shares and Units distributed under
the Offering is determined which dictates the specific use of proceeds of the Offering.
The purchase of securities under the Offering by related parties are expected to constitute
“related party transactions” of the Company under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of
Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). It is expected pursuant to
sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company will be exempt from obtaining formal
valuation and minority approval of the Company’s shareholders respecting the purchase of
securities under the Offering by related parties as the fair market value of securities to be
purchased under the Offering is expected to be below 25% of the Company's market
capitalization as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
The Flow-Through Shares, the Units, the Shares and the Warrants underlying the Units, and the
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, have not been and will not be registered under
the United States Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any state securities
laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit
of, U.S. persons absent registration or an exemption from the registration requirements of the
U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This news release shall not constitute an
offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities, nor shall there be any sale
of the securities, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
“United States” and “U.S. person” are as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
About Solstice Gold Corp.
Solstice is an exploration company with quality, district-scale gold projects in established mining
regions of Canada. Our 41 km2 Strathy Gold Project hosts high grade gold mineralization over a
wide area straddling two NE-SW-trending structures. It is located in the Abitibi Subprovince of
the Superior Craton and has never been systematically explored in its history. A recent 17.5 line
km Alpha IP survey defines 50 new targets on SGC claims. Large, continuous IP anomalies are
structurally linked to areas of significant gold intercepts and are largely untested, presenting the
opportunity for significant discovery.
Our Qaiqtuq Gold Project which covers 662 km2, hosts a 10 km2 high grade gold boulder field, is
fully permitted and hosts multiple drill-ready targets. Qaiqtuq is located in Nunavut, only 26 km
from Rankin Inlet and approximately 7 km from the Meliadine Gold Mine owned by Agnico
Eagle Mines Limited.
Our district-scale Atikokan Gold Project is approximately 26 km from the Hammond Reef Gold
Project owned by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited. Our 194 km2 Red Lake Extension (RLX) and
New Frontier projects are located at the northwestern extension of the prolific Red Lake Camp in
Ontario and approximately 45 km from the Red Lake Mine Complex owned by Evolution
Mining.
An extensive gold and battery metal royalty and property portfolio of over 80 assets was
purchased in October 2021. Well over $2.5 million in value and three new royalties have been
generated since the acquisition.
Solstice is committed to responsible exploration and development in the communities in which
we work. For more details on Solstice Gold, our exploration projects and details on our recently
acquired portfolio of projects please see our Corporate Presentation available at

Solstice’s Chairman, David Adamson, was a co-award winner for the discovery of Battle North
Gold Corporation's Bateman Gold deposit and was instrumental in the acquisition of many of the
district properties in the Battle North portfolio during his successful 16 years of exploration in
the Red Lake.

failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, inability to
locate source rocks, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices,
delays in the development of projects, regulatory approvals and other factors. FLS are subject to
