Solstice Gold Corp. has agreed to acquire a 100% interest in the Leckie Gold Zone and 43 unpatented mining claims, consolidating its Strathy Gold Project in Ontario’s Temagami Greenstone Belt to approximately 57 square kilometres.

The transaction covers surface and mining rights for the Leckie Patents and adjacent claims. Under the definitive purchase agreement, Solstice will pay $600,000 in cash, issue 2,000,000 common shares subject to a 12-month lock-up agreement, and transfer 11 unpatented Kanichee claims to the seller.

To fund the cash consideration, Solstice has arranged a fully subscribed, non-brokered private placement of 10,833,333 common shares at $0.06 per share to raise gross proceeds of $650,000. In parallel, the company has accelerated its final $35,000 option payment to secure 100% ownership of the underlying project claims. Closing of both the acquisition and the private placement is anticipated on September 14, 2026, subject to regulatory approvals including the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Leckie Gold Zone features a 160-metre-deep historical shaft, underground development across five levels, and more than 23,000 metres of historical drilling. Solstice plans to conduct future drilling using oriented core to support vein studies, document mineralization trends, and guide expansion targeting toward defining a potential resource.

“Solstice is excited about this transformative acquisition. We now have district-scale control of gold potential in the Temagami Greenstone Belt, including an area of historical drilling that hosts significant historical gold intercepts that are open for follow up. By consolidating the LGZ and adding new claims, we have acquired the missing ‘piece of the puzzle’ in the Project claim fabric to consolidate control of this largely unexplored part of the Abitibi Subprovince. Our focus going forward will be to expand the LGZ to define a potential resource. We believe that this cornerstone acquisition truly marks an important new chapter for the Strathy Gold Project and Solstice Gold shareholders.”

— Pablo McDonald, CEO

The company's upcoming exploration programs will leverage the consolidated land position and historical data to advance its targets across the district.
