[{"type":"text","content":" Company Selected to Receive $200,000 Ontario Government Grant VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solstice Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGC) (“Solstice”, “we”, “our” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the exploration program at its Church and Kamuck Projects in the Quetico Subprovince, located approximately 85 km and 200 km NE of Thunder Bay, Ontario, respectively in the actively explored Quetico lithium district. Emerging Quetico Lithium District Spodumene discoveries reported by exploration groups in 2023 are defining a greatly expanded area with high lithium potential within the Quetico subprovince. The Quetico Lithium District is centred around the Georgia Lake Lithium deposit (owned by Rock Tech). In 2023, a new spodumene discovery was reported by Pegmatite One (\"PGA\"1) west of the Georgia Lake pegmatites and within 15 km of Solstice's Church Property. Spodumene was also reported in 2023 to the east of Georgia Lake by Tearlach (\"TEA\") on their Georgina Properties2, immediately adjacent to Solstice's Gathering Lake claims, optioned to Green Technology Metals. Solstice's Kamuck Property is located just to the east of these discoveries and exhibits abundant fertility indicators. Principal Findings Pablo McDonald, Solstice CEO stated, “After discovering several 20 to 30m wide pegmatites on the Church Property on the first few days of prospecting, our more in-depth exploration efforts throughout the fall showed a trend of lithium enrichment in alkali feldspars across the southern part of the property, as well as radiometric anomalies that are similar to those seen proximal to spodumene-bearing pegmatites in the region. We have also seen abundant pegmatite on both Kamuck and Church, with promising LIBS readings in an unknown mineral of up to 3.0% Li2O. The combination of positive signs coming out of these properties after initial prospecting show that these areas have the potential to host LCT Pegmatites and I’m therefore very excited to get back on the ground with detailed prospecting and sampling.” Both properties produced favourable results in 2023, which continues to show promise for Solstice’s projects in the Quetico Lithium District: Preliminary exploration at Church in August of 2023, covering less than 5% of the area, delineated five 12-30m-wide pegmatites with quartz, albite and pot...
