[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solstice Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGC) (“Solstice”, the “Company”, “us”, “we” or “our”) is pleased to announce mobilization has begun in advance of our field program (the “Program”) at our 100% owned 928 km2 Kahuna Gold Project (“Kahuna” or the “Project”), located near Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. Our claims are immediately adjacent to those controlled by Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd which include the Meliadine Mine*. We are also pleased to announce the addition of Bruce (Sandy) Barham to our exploration team in the role of Senior Geological Consultant. Sandy has significant expertise in the region with extensive experience in the discovery, exploration, permitting and development of gold deposits. He worked with the team that collected the first samples along the Meliadine trend, on the team that completed the first diamond drill program on Agnico Eagle’s Meadowbank deposit, identified the potential of the Amaruq deposit (now 2.9 million oz of gold reserves) and was part of the team that saw the Meliadine project establish a 5 million ounce global resource prior to the Comaplex sale to Agnico Eagle. He mapped the Meliadine property and conducted geological, geophysical and diamond drilling programs within the project area. He has completed numerous reports on the geology and gold occurrences of the Meliadine land package and is an expert in the geology and styles of mineralization in the Meliadine area. It is worth noting that Sandy’s crew discovered the Aqpik target, which lies on Agnico Eagle claims immediately adjacent to our main target area where diamond drilling has returned economically significant results. Executive Chairman David Adamson stated, “Given Sandy’s extensive exploration experience in the immediate vicinity of our Project and his depth of geologic understanding of the region, we are very pleased to have him on board. He is a great complement to our strong, technically-focussed team and we are looking forward to him and the team getting boots on the ground this coming season.” The following is a brief summary of 2018 Project highlights and Phase I follow-up plans for the upcoming 2019 field season. 2018 Highlights: Our 2018 field season, which was the first systematic gold focussed exploration program on the property, was pivotal in demonstrating g...
