Solstice Gold Corp. announced that Pablo McDonald has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective May 24, 2023. Mr. McDonald is a mining professional with fifteen years of experience of generating value on a diverse range of projects from greenfield exploration programs to some of the largest mines in the world.

Prior to joining Solstice, he spent nearly a decade in consulting with mid-tier and major mining companies where he designed and executed projects critical to extending mine life, most notably for Newmont and B2Gold. Pablo has also managed exploration programs across North and South America, Europe, and Africa. Mr. McDonald holds a bachelor's degree in Geological Engineering from Queen's University.

Over the past 15 months Pablo has skillfully managed Solstice's operations and exploration team. He was instrumental in Solstice's early recognition of the Eastern English River Subprovince's Lithium potential, which led to the acquisition of 174 km(2) SLP land package. He has demonstrated that he has the leadership skills necessary to build out business plan and drive shareholder value through discovery on key exploration assets, continued monetization of extensive Royalty Portfolio and leverage new opportunities.

Upon Mr. McDonald's appointment on May 24(th), David Adamson will step down from his role as interim CEO but will remain in his position as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
