Paramount Gold Nevada Reports Approval of Two Additional Baseline Reports by Oregon State Regulators
January 15 2019 - 7:00AM
Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (NYSE American: PZG) ("Paramount” or
“the Company”) announced today that the permitting process for its
proposed Grassy Mountain Gold Mine continues to progress on
schedule with the State’s Technical Review Team (“TRT”) having
reviewed and accepted two additional baseline reports.
Paramount CEO, Glen van Treek commented: “The continuing
acceptance of our baseline reports is extremely encouraging as we
continue building on our momentum to get the proposed Grassy
Mountain mine permitted with all regulatory authorities, Federal,
State and County. We are on track to achieve our next permitting
milestone with the filing of the Conditional Use Permit ('CUP')
with the Malheur County Planning Department within days.”
The TRT has reviewed and accepted the Geology and Soils Baseline
Data Report (“BDR”) as complete. This report characterizes the
baseline conditions for a wide array of geologic factors which will
be used in applications ranging from construction through to
reclamation.
The Aquatic Resources BDR was also reviewed and accepted by the
TRT which includes representatives of several State regulatory
agencies: the Department of Fish and Wildlife; the Department of
Environmental Quality; the Department of State Lands; and the
DOGAMI. The Aquatics Resources BDR characterizes aquatic
resources in the study area prior to the start of proposed mining
operations.
A summary of all baseline data reports to date for the Grassy
Mountain gold project are as follows:
- 16 of the 23 baseline reports have been reviewed and accepted
by the TRT;
- 2 additional reports have been submitted with acceptance by the
TRT pending;
- 2 reports are being updated at the request of the TRT and will
be resubmitted;
- 2 reports are currently being completed by Paramount, with
submission to the TRT to follow; and
- The Mined Land Reclamation BDR, the final report, will be filed
as part of the Consolidated Permit Application.
These baseline reports are critical components of the
Consolidated Permit Application which Paramount expects to file
with DOGAMI later this year. The Bureau of Land Management also
requires the baseline data reports for its Environmental Impact
Statement.

About Paramount Gold Nevada Corp.Paramount Gold
Nevada 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 into joint ventures
with producers for construction and operation; or constructing and
operating mines for its own account.
Paramount owns 100% of the Grassy Mountain Gold
Project which consists of approximately 11,000 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 PFS have been
released and key permitting milestones accomplished (see press
release dated May 24, 2018). Additionally, Paramount owns a 100%
interest in the Sleeper Gold Project located in Northern Nevada.
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).
