Paradigm Gold Provides Corporate Update

Paradigm Gold advances Swift-Katie soil sampling, with phase II drilling contingent on securing capital.

Executive Summary
  • Paradigm Gold held its Annual General Meeting on June 23, 2026, passing all resolutions including the re-election of the board and appointment of new senior management.
  • New management appointments include John Kerr (President), Lawrence Page (Chairman), Matthew Anderson (CFO), Arie Page (Corporate Secretary), and Jay Oness (VP Corporate Development).
  • Phase I soil sampling has commenced on the 100% owned Swift-Katie property in the Golden Arc, BC.
  • 593 soil samples have been collected across the Swift and Allouez targets.
  • The Phase I program is fully funded with a C$250,000 budget.
  • A Phase II 3,000m drill program is proposed with a ~$500,000 budget.
  • Phase II drilling is explicitly contingent on subsequent financing and Phase I results.
  • Priority targets for Phase II focus on near-surface gold potential adjacent to historic hole SK17-015 and the historic Allouez prospect.
  • Additional prospecting is planned along a +1km long 'Alteration Corridor' to test a widespread gold-enriched vein system and a large alkali porphyry system at Katie.
  • Robert Macdonald, MSc. P.Geo., serves as the Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
Material Impact
  • The news represents incremental, expected progress on the company's exploration timeline.
  • Management changes are routine corporate governance updates and do not signal a strategic pivot or new leadership crisis.
  • Phase I soil sampling is a standard preparatory step for drilling and does not constitute a discovery or resource definition.
  • The proposed Phase II drill program is not yet funded or guaranteed. The explicit contingency on financing and results introduces execution risk.
  • No new capital raise, major contract, or assay results are disclosed. The market already priced in the need for exploration funding given the history of multiple small financings.
  • Impact is neutral to slightly positive on a routine basis, as it confirms the company is advancing its exploration plan, but lacks the catalyst required to move the stock materially.

  • Paradigm Gold Corp. is a junior exploration company focused on the Swift-Katie Cu-Au project in British Columbia's Golden Arc mineral belt.
  • The project is 100% owned, covering 8,797 hectares (19 MTO & Legacy claims) approximately 7 km SW of Salmo, BC.
  • The property contains two primary targets: the Swift gold target (epithermal veins) and the Katie copper-gold-silver porphyry deposit.
  • Historical drilling (2017) on Swift returned high-grade intercepts, including 2.5m @ 11.5g/t Au and 8.6m @ 3.1g/t Au.
  • Historical drilling on Katie returned wide, lower-grade intercepts, including 101.5m @ 0.19% Cu and 0.12g/t Au.
  • The company has invested approximately $3.5 million in exploration since 2006.
  • The project is in the advanced exploration stage, with a 5-year drill permit valid through December 31, 2030.
