Solstice Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGC) (“
Solstice”, “we”,
“our” or the “
Company”) is pleased to announce
that we have completed the acquisition of the portfolio of 86
royalty and project interests (the "
Portfolio")
announced on September 15, 2021 (the
“
Transaction”). The Portfolio was acquired from
renowned prospector Perry English through his company 1544230
Ontario Inc., along with his business partner Gravel Ridge
Resources Ltd. and its principals for a cash purchase price of
C$3.8 million and 400,000 common shares of Solstice. The purchase
price was reduced by $198,750, comprising cash payments received
from third party option agreements due to Solstice at the closing
of the Transaction for a net purchase price of $3.6MM. In addition,
the Company is pleased to announce that, further to the Company’s
news release dated September 15, 2021, the Company has closed its
non-brokered private placement financing for total proceeds of
$2,500,000 (the “
Private Placement”). Newly
appointed Director Mike Timmins subscribed for $100,000 (1,000,000
shares) of the Private Placement through his holding company,
Pumpkin Mining Corporation. In addition, as announced on September
15, 2021, certain directors (being Kevin Reid, Michael Gentile and
Blair Schultz) have completed the early exercise of their warrants
for total proceeds of approximately $1,640,000. Directors and
management now collectively own approximately 40% of the issued and
outstanding shares of the Company.

“With the completion of this Transaction and
well supported financing, we believe Solstice has established
itself as a unique investment opportunity in the mining exploration
space. Shareholders not only have exposure to top tier exploration
assets that we are advancing internally both in Red Lake, Ontario
and next to Meliadine in Nunavut, but also have exposure, through
the Transaction, to exploration and potential discovery by third
parties on 45 projects located in key mining districts in Ontario
and Quebec. These are all generating option and share payments
along with potential future royalties and we expect payback of our
acquisition costs within three years. Currently, we own 52
potential future royalties, and this number is expected to grow as
we seek to sell or option 100% interests in a further 30 projects
that we own through the Transaction. Effectively, at payback, we
expect to own a large royalty portfolio at zero net cost to
Solstice. With an approximate 40% share ownership, the board and
management are strongly aligned with all investors as we seek to
provide future shareholder value through discovery and the
successful implementation of our business strategies” stated
Chairman David Adamson.
Closing of Financing
The Private Placement consisted of the issuance
by the Company of a total of 25,000,000 common shares (the
“Shares”), at a price of at $0.10 per Share. All
Shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a
four-month hold period expiring on February 5, 2022 in
accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws and are
also subject to the Exchange Hold Period (as defined by the TSX
Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) rules and policies) and
have been legended accordingly.
The proceeds from the Private Placement were
used exclusively to complete the Transaction.
In connection with the Private Placement, Dave
Fischer, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, subscribed for
150,000 Shares for a total purchase price of $15,000. The issuance
of Shares to Mr. Fischer and to Pumpkin Mining Corporation pursuant
to the Private Placement constitutes a “related party transaction”
within the meaning of Policy 5.9 of the TSXV and Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) as a result of
Mr. Fischer being a senior officer of the Company and Mr. Timmins
being a director of the Company and the sole shareholder of Pumpkin
Mining Corporation. The Company is relying on the exemption from
the formal valuation requirement in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 (as
a result of its Shares being listed on the TSXV) and the exemption
from the minority approval requirement in section 5.7(1)(b) of MI
61-101 (as neither the fair market value of Shares purchased, nor
the consideration paid, by Mr. Fischer and Pumpkin Mining
Corporation has exceeded $2,500,000). Further details in respect of
the Private Placement will be included in a material change report
to be filed by the Company. The material change report will be
filed less than 21 days prior to closing of the Private Placement
due to the timing of the announcement of the Private Placement and
the Company wished to complete the Private Placement in an
expeditious manner.

Forward Looking Statements
This news release contains certain
forward-looking statements (“FLS”) including, but not limited to
the Company’s expectations, intentions, plans and beliefs in
connection with the Company’s planned exploration activities, and
the expected benefits and returns to the Company following the
acquisition. FLS can often be identified by forward-looking words
such as “approximate or (~)”, “emerging”, “goal”, “plan”, “intent”,
“estimate”, “expects”, “potential”, “scheduled”, “may” and “will”
or similar words suggesting future outcomes or other expectations,
beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, intentions or statements
about future events or performance. There is also no guarantee that
continued exploration at Solstice exploration projects, all of
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, failure of the Company to raise sufficient proceeds
in the financing to satisfy the purchase price of the portfolio
acquisition, failure of the Company to obtain TSX Venture Exchange
approval on terms acceptable to the Company or at all, the future
impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic and government response to such
pandemic, the ability of the Company to continue exploration at its
projects during the pandemic and the risk of future lack of access
to the projects 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.

similar properties are not indicative of mineral deposits on the
Company’s properties, nor is there certainty that Solstice’s
projects will contain economic mineralization. This news release

does not imply any agreements, partnerships or rights with respect
to any of these companies or their properties other than where
explicitly defined. Past performance is no guarantee of future
performance and all investors are urged to consult their investment
