Solstice Gold Consolidating 57 km² Strathy Gold Project through Agreement to Acquire Leckie Gold Zone and 43 New Claims; $650,000 Private Placement Fully Subscribed
- Leckie Gold Zone has more than 23,000 m of historical drilling and is open to depth and along strike. Forms new focus for expansion drilling and potential resource development -
Solstice Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGC) (“Solstice” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has significantly expanded its Strathy Gold Project situated within the Temagami Greenstone Belt, to approximately 57 km², by entering into an agreement to acquire two patented claims totaling 24 hectares, which host the Leckie Gold Zone (“LGZ”). The LGZ includes a 160 m-deep shaft, underground development on five levels and more than 23,000 m of historical drilling that has confirmed significant historic gold and silver mineralization. The agreement also includes a strategically located group of 43 unpatented mining claims totaling 9.4 km², adjacent to the Company’s Red Cedar Discovery and approximately 260 m from the LGZ patents. This acquisition will consolidate a substantial portion of this largely unexplored part of the Abitibi Subprovince in Ontario, known for its gold potential (Figure 1). It will also significantly expand Solstice’s core land position, add the LGZ as a focus for expansion drilling and enhance the Company’s ability to explore the Project at a larger district scale. Unlike much of the Abitibi, the Temagami Greenstone Belt is under-explored and has not been the subject of modern regional-scale exploration techniques.
