FLS and are subject to change based on additional data and/or further analysis. FLS in this news release include comparison
with certain geological features at adjacent and regional projects. There can be no guarantee that continued exploration at
Solstice exploration projects, which are at an early stage of exploration, will lead to the discovery of an economic gold deposit.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any FLS include, but are not limited to, the future impacts of
the COVID 19 pandemic and government response to such pandemic, the ability of the Company to continue exploration at its
project in lieu of the pandemic and the risk of future lack of access to the project as a result thereof, delays in obtaining or
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 risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
expected results.
Potential shareholders and prospective investors should be aware that these statements are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the FLS.
Shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on FLS. By their nature FLS involve numerous assumptions, inherent
risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections
and various future events will not occur. Solstice undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any FLS
whether as a result of new information, future events or other such factors which affect this information, except as required by
law.
