Up to 15,000,000 units will be issued as flow-through units consisting of one common share and one-half (1/2) of a transferable share purchase warrant. One full warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share for the first year and $0.125 per share until expiration on the second year.

First Canadian Securities® will receive a cash finder's fee of 5% (no GST payable) as well as a non-transferable option (the "Option") to acquire 1,071,428 units of the Company (the "Units"), equivalent to 10% of the total units sold in the Private Placement. The Option is exercisable into Units for a period of 24 months following the Closing at an exercise price of $0.07 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half (1/2) of one non-transferable share purchase warrant of the Company, each such warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 for the first 12 months following the Closing and at an exercise price of $0.125 between 12 and 24 months following the Closing.

"We are very pleased to be renewing our relationship with MineralFields Group," said Charles Desjardins, President of Solitaire. "This is an important milestone in the growth of Solitaire and we look forward to working with MineralFields Group as we develop our exploration targets."

All securities issued pursuant to this private placement will have a hold period expiring four months after the date of issuance.
