Solstice Gold Commences Expanded Alpha IP Program at Red Cedar Discovery, Strathy Gold Project

Solstice Gold Corp. announced on November 10, 2025, that field crews have mobilized to commence an 8.9 line-km Phase II Alpha IP (Induced Polarization) survey at its 100%-owned Strathy Gold Project. This IP survey is planned to be completed prior to a fully funded Phase II drill program. The drill program will consist of approximately 16 drill holes, designed to follow up on the high-grade Red Cedar Discovery, which returned 8.52 g/t Au over 3.5 meters in the initial drill program, and to test other targets in the area. The Red Cedar Discovery was made in the company's first drill hole in an otherwise essentially untested area, spanning at least 1,000m by 500m and remaining open to the north and east. The new IP program aims to infill and extend coverage to refine high-priority drill targets for aggressive follow-up drilling.

This news is a positive, yet routine, operational update for Solstice Gold. * Positive: It indicates continued and systematic advancement of the Strathy Gold Project, building on the significant Red Cedar Discovery announced on August 13, 2025. The company is following through on its stated plans to aggressively explore this new discovery. The fact that the subsequent Phase II drill program is "fully funded" provides confidence in the company's ability to execute its near-term exploration strategy without immediate capital constraints for this specific program. * Not Material - Game Changer: The key catalysts for the company were the initial high-grade discovery (August 13, 2025) and the successful closing of an upsized private placement to fund exploration (October 31, 2025). This current announcement is the logical next step in the exploration lifecycle, moving from funding to execution of a planned geophysical survey that precedes further drilling. While positive, it does not introduce new, unexpected information that would materially alter the company's valuation or strategic outlook beyond what was already established by the discovery and financing news. It confirms the execution of strategy rather than revealing new fundamental value.

Solstice Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGC) is an early-stage gold exploration company focused on the Strathy Gold Project in the Temagami Greenstone Belt, Ontario, part of the Abitibi Subprovince. The project covers approximately 45 km² and benefits from excellent infrastructure.

Historically underexplored, the Strathy project gained significance with Solstice's systematic approach. Initial work included an Autumn 2024 IP geophysical survey (17.5 line-km) which identified numerous undrilled targets and extensions of the gold-bearing Leckie fault. The company's Spring 2025 drill program (3120-3125m in 13-14 holes) led to a significant Red Cedar Discovery on August 13, 2025, intersecting 8.52 g/t Au over 3.5m (including 28.7 g/t Au over 1.0m) in an area previously untested. This discovery is associated with a 550m x 300m IP anomaly and remains open. The program also confirmed gold mineralization along Leckie Fault extensions. The main Leckie Gold Zone, with historical high-grade intercepts, remains largely untested by Solstice.

The current news (November 10, 2025) details the commencement of a Phase II IP survey to further delineate targets at Red Cedar ahead of a fully funded follow-up drill program. This represents a continuous effort to advance the Strathy project towards defining a potential economic gold deposit. Solstice also holds other properties, including the Qaiqtuq gold project in Nunavut, but Strathy is the primary focus.
