Other Income During 2022, Solitario sold rights to certain exploration data on a non-owned mineral property upon which Solitario had previously done exploration activities.

On the date of sale, the Highland common stock carried a restrictive legend. The shares were not available for trade on the date of sale and at December 31, 2022 and no value has been assigned to the common stock. Solitario recorded $20,000 of other income on the date of the sale. Any future changes to the value of the Highland common stock owned by Solitario will be recorded as changes in value of marketable equity securities.
