Denver, Colorado: Solitario Exploration & Royalty Corp. ("Solitario;" NYSE MKT: XPL; TSX: SLR) announces that it has received irrevocable commitments to purchase shares of Solitario common stock in a private placement conducted by Solitario (the �Offering�). Solitario received the first such commitment on February 17, 2014.

Solitario retained a placement agent in connection with the portion of the Offering conducted in Canada and has agreed to pay such placement agent a fee of $50,000 for the sale effected to the single Canadian investor that participated in the Offering.
