Paradigm Gold receives 5 yr drill permit at Swift Katie

Executive Summary

• Paradigm Gold Corp. received a five‑year drill permit for its Swift Katie gold‑copper property in BC, valid through Dec 31 2030.
• The company will commence drilling in early 2026, starting with ~2,000 m to expand the known gold mineralization at the TR19 area and SK17‑019 target (previously assayed 8.6 m @ 3.1 g/t Au).
• A surface program will run concurrently to delineate existing mineralization and generate new drill targets; the Katie Cu‑Au porphyry target is also permitted, with historic intercepts of 101.5 m @ 0.19 % Cu & 0.12 g/t Au (including 12.8 m @ 0.43 % Cu & 0.15 g/t Au).

Key Details

• Permit: Five‑year drill permit for Swift Katie property, expires Dec 31 2030.
• Initial Drilling Plan: ~2,000 m of core drilling in early 2026 targeting expansion of gold mineralization at TR19 and SK17‑019 (≈1 km SW along the same trend).
• Historical Assay Reference: 8.6 m @ 3.1 g/t Au from prior 2017 program (see Sept 7 2017 release).
• Surface Program: Planned to further delineate known gold zones and identify new drill targets across under‑explored areas.
• Katie Cu‑Au Target Permit: Also approved; historic drilling highlighted 101.5 m @ 0.19 % Cu & 0.12 g/t Au, including a higher‑grade interval of 12.8 m @ 0.43 % Cu & 0.15 g/t Au (hole VKT08‑069).
• Property Overview: 19 contiguous MTO claims covering 83 km² in BC’s Golden Arc; three semi‑continuous Cu‑Au zones over a 1,800 m strike length identified to date.
• Infill Drilling Completed: Eight infill holes totalling 2,600 m have been drilled, expected to enhance size and continuity of the mineralization.
• Geological Context: Gold‑silver mineralization hosted in volcaniclastic rocks of the Elise formation; comparable to historic Rossland mining camp (2.7 Moz Au, 3.4 Moz Ag, 120 M lb Cu).
