– Solstice’s first drill program at Strathy delivers new high-grade gold discovery, wide open for expansion, in one of the world’s most productive gold belts –

Solstice Gold Corp. (TSX-V: SGC) is pleased to report assay results from its Spring 2025 drill program (3,120 metres in 13 holes) which includes the Red Cedar Discovery, intersecting 8.52 g/t Au over 3.5m including 28.7 g/t over 1.0m in hole SGPDH25-09, in a previously untested area of the Strathy Gold Project. The Project is located in the Temagami Greenstone Belt in the prolific Abitibi Subprovince in Ontario. Details of assay results are provided below in Table 1.

Spring 2025 Drill Program Highlights

• New Discovery – Red Cedar Zone
  • 8.52 g/t Au over 3.5m (including 28.7 g/t Au over 1.0m)
  • Located ~1.1 km east of the main Leckie Target in a previously untested area
  • First documented gold in this target area – open in all directions
  • Hosted within a robust 550 x 300 metre IP chargeability anomaly, which remains open for expansion to the east
• Leckie Fault Extensions
  • New gold-bearing extensions intersected north and south of the main Leckie Gold Zone
  • Results include 6.33 g/t Au over 1.5m and multiple well-mineralized zones with 5–10% sulphides and >3% arsenopyrite over up to 4.5m.
  • Fault mineralization traced over >1 km strike length dipping onto Solstice claims and open to depth.
• Untested High-Grade Potential
  • The main Leckie Gold Zone hosts historic intercepts of 5.08 g/t Au over 17.28m and 7.66 g/t Au over 7.25m¹ on Solstice claims
  • This Zone remains untested by Solstice due to ice access requirements
• Geophysics Driving Discovery
  • Autumn 2024 IP survey proved effective, directly correlating chargeability anomalies with gold mineralization
  • Over 30 IP anomalies remain untested

Pablo McDonald, Solstice CEO stated, “Our very first drill program at Strathy has delivered a brand-new high-grade discovery in a target zone that’s wide open for expansion. We’ve also confirmed that the Leckie Fault is a gold-bearing structure with kilometre-scale potential. With more than 30 IP anomalies still to test, plus newly acquired adjacent claims, we’re only scratching the surface in this underexplored part of the legendary Abitibi. The stage is set for aggressive follow-up drilling and multiple discovery opportunities.”

Solstice plans follow-up drilling focused on expanding the Red Cedar Discovery, targeting extension of its associated 300x500m IP anomaly. Additional drilling will test down-dip expansion of the Leckie Gold Zone, which contains high-grade, shallow-depth historic intercepts on Solstice claims which can be accessed using ice-based drilling. By advancing two compelling, high-grade targets, Solstice aims to significantly increase the potential for adding additional high-grade intercepts on the Strathy Gold Project. Solstice also plans to extend IP surveys to cover an additional 35% of its core claims.

QA/QC Procedures

All ½ NQ drill core samples were collected in a secure location, placed into sealed bags and shipped to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (“ActLabs”) in North Bay, Ontario. A series of industry standard internal quality control and assurance programs were followed, which included security tags on all shipments and the insertion of certified reference materials, duplicates (¼ core) and blank samples in regular intervals. Samples were processed at the lab for gold analysis by a 50-gram fire assay with finish by atomic absorption as well as 1,000-gram fire assay with metallic screen (package 1A4–1000) for samples with >0.1g/t Au FA. Multi-element analysis was done using aqua regia digestion (package 1E3–ICP). A total of 57 high sulphide or arsenic samples were run as check fire assays using modified flux by Actlabs and or photon assay. Six of the reanalyses returning results with a variance of between +92% and 331% compared to the original metallic assay. Twenty-three high Ni-Cr-Cu samples (combined >2,000ppm) were analyzed for gold using NiS FA at ActLabs, with five samples returning between +60% to +697% compared to 2x detection limit of original metallics assays (60ppb). Taken together, these re-assays suggest that further investigation regarding the accurate determination of gold contents of certain samples may be justified.

Analytical results passed internal QA/QC review. Some standards were within ranges requiring closer review but given the scale and general consistency of QA/QC analysis, the Company deems these exceptions to be insignificant. ActLabs is independent of Solstice.

About the Strathy Gold Project

The Strathy Gold Project is an extensive 41 km² land package in the Archean-age Temagami Greenstone Belt, which is the southernmost extension of the Abitibi Subprovince in Ontario. Located on the Trans Canada Highway, the project has excellent access to infrastructure and mining expertise. The Project includes parts of the Net-Vermilion Deformation Zone and the Link Lake Deformation Zone, which are two prominent Northeast-Southwest-trending structures crosscutting Archean metavolcanics. It contains documented, widespread high-grade gold mineralization, hosting historic intercepts of 5.00 g/t Au over 17.28m and 7.66 g/t Au over 7.25m (core lengths) at vertical depths of approximately 50-100 metres below surface¹, and documented surface sample results of up to 62.7 g/t Au². Despite this demonstrated prospectivity, the core claims at Strathy have not been systemically explored in the past.

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. 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 base metal royalty and property portfolio of over 80 assets was purchased in October 2021. Well over $2.5 million in value and over 25 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 portfolio of projects please see our Corporate Presentation available at www.solsticegold.com.

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.
