PZG Paramount Gold and Silver Corp

Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (NYSE American: PZG) (“Paramount” or the “Company”) announced today that the permitting process cleared another major hurdle with the approval of the two most critical Baseline Data Reports (“BDRs”) related to key environmental aspects of its proposed Grassy Mountain high-grade underground gold mine, Ground Water and Geochemistry.

Paramount President and COO, Glen Van Treek stated: “With the approval of these BDRs, the DOGAMI and all other participating agencies will shift focus to completing their review of the Company’s most recent Consolidated Permit Application (“CPA”) to determine completeness, which is a key step in the approval process. The Company continues to work collaboratively with all state agencies to ensure a complete application. Once the CPA is deemed complete the state will initiate the Environmental Assessment, which incorporates all the 22 pre-approved BDRs plus the Cultural Resource Report, and will direct the permitting agencies to write draft permits.”

On June 30, 2022, two separate public meetings were held by Oregon State regulators to approve the Geo-Chemistry and Groundwater BDR’s as complete. The Oregon State Technical Review Team’s (“TRT”) geo-chemistry sub-committee confirmed the completeness and accuracy of the geo-chemistry BDR and recommended it for approval by the full TRT. The full TRT, comprised of all agencies involved in the permitting process approved these two critical BDR’s.

“We continue to be encouraged by the level of support we are receiving from community stakeholders as evidenced by the State receiving no comments in either of the public review periods as part of the approval process for the BDR’s,” added Paramount CEO, Rachel Goldman.

More information about the permitting of Grassy Mountain is available on the DOGAMI website.

About Paramount Gold Nevada Corp.Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. is a U.S. based precious metals exploration and development company. Paramount’s strategy is to create shareholder value through exploring and developing its mineral properties and to realize this value for its shareholders in three ways: by selling its assets to established producers; entering joint ventures with producers for construction and operation; or constructing and operating mines for its own account.

Paramount holds a 100% interest in four gold projects: Grassy Mountain; Frost; Sleeper and Bald Peak.

The Grassy Mountain Gold Project consists of approximately 8,200 acres located on private and BLM land in Malheur County, Oregon. The Grassy Mountain Gold Project contains a gold-silver deposit (100% located on private land) for which results of a positive Feasibility Study have been released and key permitting milestones accomplished.

Frost is comprised of 84 unpatented lode claims covering approximately 1,730 acres located 12 miles southwest of the Company’s proposed high-grade, underground Grassy Mountain gold mine in Malheur County, Oregon (“Grassy”). An initial drill program is ongoing.

The Sleeper Gold Project is located in Northern Nevada, the world’s premier mining jurisdiction. The Sleeper Gold Project, which includes the former producing Sleeper mine, totals 2,322 unpatented mining claims (approximately 60 square miles or 15,500 hectares). The Sleeper gold project is host to a large gold deposit (over 4 million ounces of mineralized material) and the Company has completed and released a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment. With higher gold prices, Paramount has begun work to update and improve the economics of the Sleeper project.

The newly acquired Bald Peak Project in Nevada, consists of approximately 2,260 acres.
