ITEM 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On June 2, 2026, Solitario was notified that Assure CPA, LLC (“Assure”), which served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Solitario Resources Corp. (“Solitario”), merged into Sadler, Gibb & Associates (“Sadler”) pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. As a result of the transaction, Assure ceased operations as a public accounting firm and resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Solitario’s prior engagement with Assure as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has been concluded with the resignation of Assure.
On June 3, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Solitario approved the resignation of Assure and the appointment of Sadler as Solitario’s independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to change Solitario’s independent registered public accounting firm was the result of the merger of Assure with Sadler.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, through the subsequent interim period preceding their appointment, neither Solitario, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted with Sadler regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the consolidated financial statements of Solitario, and no written report or oral advice was provided to Solitario by Sadler that was an important factor considered by Solitario in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The audit reports of Assure on Solitario’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the two most recent years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and through the subsequent interim period preceding the date of resignation of Assure, there were no disagreements between Solitario and Assure on any matter or accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which would have caused Assure to make reference thereto in its reports on Solitario’s financial statements for such fiscal years.
During the two most recent years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and through the subsequent interim period preceding the resignation of Assure, there were no reportable events as defined by Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Solitario provided Assure with a copy of these disclosures as set forth under this Item 4.01 and requested that Assure furnish Solitario with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Assure agrees with the above statements and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the response letter from Assure is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
