Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the Three Months Period Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (the “Company” or “Paramount”), incorporated under Chapter 78 of Nevada Revised Statutes, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of precious metal properties. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries include New Sleeper Gold LLC, Sleeper Mining Company, LLC, and Calico Resources USA Corp (“Calico”). The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties in Nevada and Oregon, United States. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the risk of failing to secure additional funding to advance its projects and the risks of determining whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the NYSE American LLC under the symbol “PZG”.

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all the normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the interim financial information set forth herein have been included.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, are presented in US dollars and follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the most recent annual financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Significant Accounting Policies

Please see Note 1- Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2023 10-K.

Note 2. Going Concern

The Company has not generated any revenues or cash flows from operations to date. As such the Company is subject to all the risks associated with development stage companies. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities which have been funded from the issuance of common stock, convertible notes, note payable and the sale of royalties on its mineral properties. The Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future, if at all, until such time it successfully initiates production at its Grassy Mountain Project, including obtaining construction financing, completing the construction of the proposed mine and anticipates incurring operating losses for the foreseeable future.

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which means that the continuation of the Company is presumed even though events and conditions exist that, when considered in aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern because it is possible that the Company will be required to adversely change its current business plan or may be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements were issued.

Paramount expects to continue to incur losses as a result of costs and expenses related to maintaining its properties and general and administrative expenses. Since 2015, the Company has relied on equity financings, debt financings and sale of royalties to fund its operations and the Company expects to rely on these forms of financing to fund operations into the near future. The Company will also continue to identify ways to reduce its cash expenditures.

Paramount’s current business plan requires working capital to fund non-discretionary expenditures for its exploration and development activities on its mineral properties, mineral property holding costs and general and administrative expenses. It also requires approximately $6.0 million in capital to repay the 2019 convertible notes and the note payable to Seabridge, which become due in September 2024 and November 2023, respectively. It also requires approximately $2.6 million to complete evaporation pond conversions as part of its reclamation and environmental obligations at its Sleeper Gold Project.

Subsequent to November 9, 2023, the Company expects to fund operations as follows:

•

Existing cash on hand and working capital.

•

The existing ATM with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Canaccord Genuity LLC.

•

Insurance proceeds to fund reclamation and environmental obligations at its Sleeper Gold Project.

•

Other debt, equity financings and sale of royalties.

Historically, we have been successful in accessing capital through equity and debt financing arrangements or by the sale of royalties on its mineral properties, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital or financing, our operations, exploration and development activities will be significantly adversely affected. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on having sufficient capital to maintain our operations and to repay debt which become due in November 2023 and September 2024. In considering our financing plans and our current working capital position the Company believes there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern twelve months after the date that our financial statements are issued.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization with the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Our financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and convertible debt. Due to their short maturity of our cash, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued liabilities, we believe that their carrying amounts approximate fair value as of September 30, 2023 and 2022. The carrying amount of convertible debt approximates fair value as the interest rate charged represents a market rate of interest.

Note 4. Non-Cash Transactions

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 553,141 shares of common stock for payment of interest accrued on its outstanding 2019 Convertible Notes with a fair value of $160,413.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued 341,297 shares of common stock for payment of interest accrued on its outstanding 2019 Convertible Notes with a fair value of $160,413.

Note 5. Capital Stock

Authorized Capital

Authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 common shares with par value of $0.01 per common share (June 30, 2023 – 200,000,000 common shares with par value $0.01 per common share).

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 3,515,257 shares of common stock from its ATM program for net proceeds of $1,088,527 and issued 553,141 shares of common stock for payment of interest accrued (Note 6) with a fair value of $160,413.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued 341,297 shares of common stock for payment of interest accrued (Note 6) with a fair value of $160,413.

Stock Options, Restricted Stock Units and Stock Based Compensation

Paramount’s 2015 and 2016 Stock Incentive and Compensation Plans, which are stockholder-approved, permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock units and stock to its employees and directors for up to 3.5 million shares of common stock.

Total stock-based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $66,684 and $117,826, respectively.

Stock Options

Stock option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of Paramount’s stock at the date of grant and have contractual lives of 5 years. To better align the interests of its key executives, employees and directors with those of its shareholders a significant portion of those share option awards will vest contingent upon meeting certain stock price appreciation performance goals and other performance conditions. Option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Stock Incentive and Compensation Plans).

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not grant stock options (2022 – 50,000).

The fair value for these options were calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuations method. The weighted average assumptions used were as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2023	Three Months Ended September 30, 2022
Weighted average risk-free interest rate	N/A		2.79	%
Weighted-average volatility	N/A		58	%
Expected dividends	N/A	0
Weighted average expected term (years)	N/A	5
Weighted average fair value	N/A	$	0.19

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, share-based compensation expense relating to service condition options and performance condition options was $nil and $1,564, respectively (2022 -$11,084 and $3,648).

A summary of stock option activity under the Stock Incentive and Compensation Plans as of September 30, 2023 is presented below:


Options	Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

As of September 30, 2023, there was approximately $6,610 of unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options outstanding. The expenses are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.35 years. The total fair value of stock based compensation that vested related to outstanding stock options during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was nil and nil, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")

RSUs are awards for service and performance which upon vesting and settlement entitle the recipient to receive one common share of the Company's Common Stock for no additional consideration, for each RSU held.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no RSUs granted by the Company.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, share-based compensation expenses related to service condition RSUs and performance condition RSUs was $43,493 and $21,627, respectively (2022 - $39,019 and $64,076)

	$	4,169,690	$	—	$	—	$	4,272,828

In September 2019, the Company completed a private offering of 5,478 Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“2019 Convertible Notes”) at $975 per $1,000 face amount due in 2023. Each 2019 Convertible Note will bear an interest rate of 7.5% per annum, payable semi-annually. During period ended September 30, 2023, the maturity of the 2019 Convertible Notes was extended to the earlier of

September 30, 2024 or the date of funding of the transaction contemplated by a non-binding term sheet between the Company and Sprott Resource and Streaming Royalty Corp and the annual interest rate increased to 12% commencing on October 1, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the effective interest rate of the 2019 Convertible Notes is 9.24%. The principal amount of the 2019 Convertible Notes will be convertible at a price of $1.00 per share of Paramount common stock. Unamortized discount and issuance costs of $275,883 will be amortized as an additional interest expense over the four year term of the 2019 Convertible Notes. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company amortized $4,862 and $15,201 of discount and issuance costs. At any point after the second anniversary of the issuance of the convertible notes, Paramount may force conversion if the share price of its common stock remains above $1.75 for 20 consecutive trading days. The convertible notes are secured by a lien on all assets of the Company and the Company is required to maintain a cash balance of $250,000. At September 30, 2023, the cash covenant was met by the Company.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no conversions of 2019 Convertible Notes to common stock of the Company.

As of September 30, 2023, there were 4,170 (2022 - 4278) notes outstanding of which 3,510 (2022 -3,618) were held by third parties and 660 (2022 - 660) were held by related parties. Of the notes held by related parties 250 were held by a director of the Company and 410 were held by and affiliated shareholder.

Note 7. Notes Payable, Related Party

On December 9, 2022, the Company issued a Bridge Promissory Note (the "Note") to Seabridge, an entity affiliated with the Chairman of our Board of Directors, Rudi Fronk, and an owner of approximately 4.6% of our outstanding common stock, pursuant to which the Company may borrow, in one or more advances, the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 (the "Loan"). The Loan bears interest at a per annum rate of 12%, payable upon maturity or prepayment, and matures on the earlier of November 30, 2023 or the date of funding of transaction as described below. The Company has the right to prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.

At September 30, 2023, the balance of the loan including accrued interest was $1,624,767.

During the period ended September 30, 2023, an agreement between the Company and Seabridge was reached to extend the maturity of the Note to the earlier of November 30, 2023 or the date of funding of the transaction contemplated by a non-binding term sheet between the Company and Sprott Resource and Streaming Royalty Corp and increase the per annum interest rate of the Loan to 13% commencing on October 1, 2023.

Note 8. Mineral Properties

The Company has capitalized acquisition costs on mineral properties as follows:


	September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023
Sleeper and other Nevada based Projects	$	28,172,533	$	28,172,533
Grassy Mountain and other Oregon based Projects		23,285,728		23,285,728
	$	51,458,261	$	51,458,261

Sleeper:

Sleeper is located in Humboldt County, Nevada, approximately 26 miles northwest of the town of Winnemucca.

Grassy Mountain:

The Grassy Mountain Project is located in Malheur County, Oregon, approximately 22 miles south of Vale, Oregon, and roughly 70 miles west of Boise, Idaho.

Impairment of Mineral Properties

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, no events or changes in circumstance are believed to have impacted recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets. Accordingly, it was determined that no interim impairment was necessary.

Note 9. Reclamation and Environmental

Reclamation and environmental costs are based principally on legal requirements. Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mineral properties and properties under mine closure. On an ongoing basis the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual amounts could differ from those based on estimates and assumptions.

The Company has posted several cash bonds as financial security to satisfy reclamation requirements. The balance of posted cash reclamation bonds at September 30, 2023 is $546,176 (June 30, 2023 - $546,176).

Paramount is responsible for managing the reclamation activities from the previous mine operations at the Sleeper Gold Mine as directed by the BLM and the Nevada State Department of Environmental Protection (“NDEP”). Paramount has estimated the undiscounted reclamation costs for existing disturbances at the Sleeper Gold Project required by the BLM to be $3,725,110. These costs are expected to be incurred between the calendar years 2023 and 2060. At September 30, 2023, Paramount has also estimated undiscounted reclamation cost as required by the NDEP to be $4,600,515. These costs include on-going monitoring and new requests from the NDEP to convert three processing ponds from the historical operations to evaporation cell ponds by the end of calendar year 2023. These costs are expected to be incurred between calendar years 2023 and 2039. The sum of expected costs by year are discounted using the Company’s credit adjusted risk free interest rate from the time it expects to pay for the reclamation to the time it incurs the obligation. The asset retirement obligation for the Sleeper Gold Project recorded on the balance sheet is equal to the present value of the estimated reclamation costs as required by both the BLM and NDEP.

The following variables were used in the calculation for the periods ending September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023:


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2023			Year Ended June 30, 2023
Weighted-average credit adjusted risk free rate		9.93	%		9.93	%
Weighted-average inflation rate		2.49	%		2.49	%

Changes to the Company’s reclamation and environmental costs for the Sleeper Gold Mine for the three month period ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended June 30, 2023 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2023			Year Ended June 30, 2023
Balance at beginning of period	$	4,436,902		$	4,475,270
Accretion expense		110,559			446,245
Additions and change in estimates		—			(364,612	)
Settlements		(30,000	)		(120,001	)
Balance at end of period	$	4,517,461		$	4,436,902

The balance of the reclamation and environmental obligation of $4,517,461 at September 30, 2023 (June 30, 2023 -$4,436,902) is comprised of a current portion of $2,560,515 (June 30, 2023 -$2,560,515) and a non-current portion of $1,956,946 (June 30, 2023 - $1,876,387).

The Company recorded an accretion expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2023 of $110,559 (2022 - $111,561).

Note 10. Other Income

The Company’s other income details for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2023		Three Months Ended September 30, 2022
Re-imbursement of reclamation costs	$	75,802	$	-
Leasing of water rights to third party		6,095		5,975
Restitution payment		3,785		—
Total	$	85,682	$	5,975

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

Other Commitments

Paramount has an agreement to acquire 44 mining claims (“Cryla Claims”) covering 589 acres located immediately to the west of the proposed Grassy Mountain site from Cryla LLC. Paramount is obligated to make annual lease payments of $60,000 per year until 2033 with an option to purchase the Cryla Claims for $560,000 at any time. The term of the agreement is 25 years and commenced in 2018. In the event Paramount exercises its option to acquire the Cryla Claims, all annual payments shall be credited against a production royalty that will be based on a prevailing price of the metals produced from the Cryla Claims. The royalty rate ranges between 2% and 4% based on the daily price of gold. The agreement with Cryla can be terminated by Paramount at any time. All lease payments under the agreement are up-to-date and no other payments were made during the three month period ended September 30, 2023. The Cryla Claims are without known mineral reserves and there is no current exploratory work being performed.

Paramount has an agreement with Nevada Select Royalty to purchase 100% of the Frost Project, which consists of 40 mining claims located approximately 12 miles west of its Grassy Mountain Project. A total consideration of $250,000 payable to Nevada Select will be based on certain events over time. Nevada Select will retain a 2% NSR on the Frost Claims and Paramount has the right to reduce the NSR to 1% for a payment of $1 million. For the three month period ended September 30, 2023, all required payments under the agreement are up-to-date. The Frost Claims are without known mineral reserves.

The Company has an agreement with Nevada Select to purchase the Bald Peak mining claims in the States of Nevada and California for a total consideration of $300,000. Payments under the agreement will be based on achieving certain events over time. Upon signing the agreement Paramount made a payment to Nevada Select of $20,000. During the three month period ended September 30, 2023, a payment was made to Nevada Select for $30,000 after the Company received a drill permit from the US Forestry Service. All payments under the agreement are up to date as of September 30, 2023. The Bald Peak Claims are without known mineral reserves.

Seabridge Gold Inc. ("Seabridge") holds a Net Profit Interest ("NPI") put option in which during the 30-day period immediately following the day that the Company has delivered notice to Seabridge that a positive production decision has been made and construction financing has been secured with respect to the Grassy Mountain Project, Seabridge may cause the Company to purchase the NPI for CDN$10,000,000. If Seabridge exercises the right to cause the Company to purchase the NPI, the Company would likely need to seek additional equity or other financing to fund the purchase, which financing may not be available to the Company on

favorable terms or at all. As of September 30, 2023, Seabridge holds approximately 4.6% of the outstanding common stock of the Company and three members of Paramount's board of directors are either officers or directors of Seabridge.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

Subsequent to the period end, the Company sold 119,348 shares under its ATM program for gross proceeds of $38,679.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable Canadian securities laws, and as a result we report our mineral reserves and mineral resources according to two different standards. U.S. reporting requirements, for disclosure of mineral properties, are governed by Item 1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”), as issued by the SEC. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), as adopted from the definitions provided by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. Both sets of reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but the standards embody slightly different approaches and definitions.

In our public filings in the U.S. and Canada and in certain other announcements not filed with the SEC, we disclose proven and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred resources, each as defined in S-K 1300. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves, and therefore investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into S-K 1300-compliant reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources, and therefore it cannot be assumed that all or any part of inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically.

Overview

We are a company engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing precious metal projects in the United States of America. Paramount owns advanced stage exploration projects in the states of Nevada and Oregon. We enhance the value of our projects by implementing exploration and engineering programs that have the goal to expand and upgrade known mineralized material to reserves. The following discussion updates our outlook and plan of operations for the foreseeable future. It also analyzes our financial condition and summarizes the results of our operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and compares these results to the results of the prior year three months ended September 30, 2022.

Operating Highlights:

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company highlights include:

•

The State of Oregon's Technical Review Team determined that Paramount's Consolidated Permit Application for the Grassy Mountain Project is complete. Subsequent to the period end, the State of Oregon issued a Notice to Proceed with the permitting and preparation of draft permits.

•

Completed an updated technical reports summaries ("TRS") for the Sleeper Gold Property under Item 1300 of Regulation S-K.

Outlook and Plan of Operation:

We believe that investors will gain a better understanding of the Company if they understand how we measure and disclose our results. As a development stage company, we do not generate cash flow from our operations. We recognize the importance of managing our liquidity and capital resources. We pay close attention to all cash expenses and look for ways to minimize them when

possible. We ensure we have sufficient cash on hand to meet our annual land holding costs as the maintenance of mining claims and leases are essential to preserve the value of our mineral property assets.

Comparison of Operating Results for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

We did not earn any revenue from mining operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Net Loss

Our net loss for three months ended September 30, 2023, was $2,074,160 compared to a net loss of $1,840,216 in the previous three month period ended September 30, 2022. The drivers of the increase in net loss of 11% are fully described below.

The Company expects to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we continue with our planned exploration and development programs.

Expenses

Exploration and Land Holding Costs

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, exploration expenses were $1,259,793 and $839,594, respectively. This represents an increase of 50% or $420,199. Expenses related to our exploration or development activities are generally not comparable from period to period as activities will vary based on several factors. At Grassy Mountain the Company continued with permitting activities with state and federal permitting agencies. These expenses totaled $322,226. At Sleeper, the Company completed an updated TRS and commenced converting several collection ponds from the previous mining operations to evaporation cells totaling $937,567 In the prior year comparable period, the Company focused its efforts on completing permit applications for the Grassy Mountain Project and incurred expenses related to reclamation activities its Sleeper Gold Project.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, land holding costs were $157,143 and $161,055, respectively. The decrease in land holding costs was primarily due to 2022 costs associated with staking additional mining claims with respect to the Bald Peak Project in Nevada.

Salaries and Benefits

For the three month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, salary and benefits were $279,596 and $307,374, respectively. This represents a decrease of 9%. Salary and benefits are comprised of cash and equity based compensation of the Company’s executive and corporate administration teams. The decrease primarily reflects lower equity based compensation that was recorded during the three month period ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2022. Included in the salary and benefits expense amount for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was non-cash equity based compensation of $63,537 and $105,171, respectively.

Directors’ Compensation

For the three month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, directors’ compensation expenses were $29,033 and $35,341, respectively. This represents an decrease of 18%. Directors’ compensation consists of cash and stock-based compensation of the Company’s board of directors. The decrease reflects lower equity based compensation recorded in the current quarter compared to the prior year’s comparable period.

Professional Fees and General and Administration

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, professional fees were $55,252 and $133,328, respectively. This represents a decrease of $78,076. The decrease was mainly due to less one-time consulting fees and legal fees incurred in the period and the recording of audit fees for our June 30, 2022 year end during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Professional fees include legal, audit, advisory and consultant expenses incurred on corporate and operational activities being performed by the Company on a period-by-period basis.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2023, general and administration expenses decreased by 16% to $133,632 from $159,174 from the three month period ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in general and administration expenses from the previous year’s comparable period was mainly due to lower insurance and travel costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As an exploration and development company, Paramount funds its operations, reclamation activities and discretionary exploration programs with its cash on hand. At September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,014,128 compared to $824,920 as at June 30, 2023. We had negative working capital of approximately $7.7 million which is primarily attributed to our accounts payable and the current 2019 convertible notes, notes payable to Seabridge and our current reclamation and environmental obligation at

Sleeper. Our plans to address the negative working capital and improve our liquidity position are described below under Going Concern and Capital Resources.

In May 2020, the Company established an $8.0 million “at the market” equity offering program with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Canaccord Genuity LLC to proactively increase its financial flexibility. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 3,515,257 shares under the program for net proceeds of $1,088,528. Subsequent to the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold 119,348 shares under the program for gross proceeds of $36,679.

During the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to its 2019 Convertible Notes with a majority of the note holders, to extend the maturity date of the 2019 Convertible Notes to be the earlier of (i) September 30, 2024 or (ii) the date of funding of the transaction contemplated by that a non-binding term sheet by an between the Company and Sprott Resource and Streaming Royalty Corp.

In December 2022, the Company issued the Note to Seabridge, an entity affiliated with the Chairman of our Board of Directors, Rudi Fronk, and an owner of approximately 4.6% of our outstanding common stock, pursuant to which the Company may borrow, in one or more advances, the principal amount of up to $1,500,000. The Loan bears interest at a per annum rate of 12%, payable upon maturity or prepayment, and originally matured on September 30 2023. The Company has the right to prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had borrowed $1,500,000 from Seabridge. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company and Seabridge entered into an agreement to extend the maturity date of the Note to Seabridge to November 30, 2023 and increase the applicable annual interest rate to 13%.

The main uses of cash for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were:

•

Cash used in operating activities of $899,320 were mainly used to fund our permitting and exploration activities at our projects, salary and benefits costs of our employees and ongoing general and administration costs.

In addition to cash used in operating activities, the Company received cash as follows:

•

Cash received from equity financings of $1,088,528.

Going Concern and Capital Resources

Paramount’s current business plan requires working capital to fund non-discretionary expenditures for its exploration and development activities on its mineral properties, mineral property holding costs and general and administrative expenses. It also requires approximately $6.0 million in capital to repay the 2019 convertible notes and the note payable to Seabridge which become due in September 2024 and November 2023 respectively.

We anticipate our twelve-month cash expenditures to be as follows:

•

$4.2 million on corporate, land claim maintenance and general expenses

We anticipate our twelve-month cash discretionary exploration and development, subject to available cash on hand as follows:

•

$2.3 million on the Grassy Mountain Project state and federal permitting activities

•

$0.2 million on the Sleeper Gold Project

•

$1.5 million for E-Cell conversions at the Sleeper Gold Project

For the planned reclamation activities required by state and federal regulators at Sleeper, the Company expects that these expenditures will be reimbursed by insurance proceeds. For any interest that accrues and is owing on the outstanding convertible debt, the Company expects to elect to pay the semi-annual interest payment in shares of its Common Stock.

Subsequent to November 9, 2023, the Company expects to fund operations as follows:

•

Existing cash on hand and working capital.

•

The existing ATM program with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Canaccord Genuity LLC.

•

Insurance proceeds to fund reclamation and environmental obligations at its Sleeper Gold Project.

•

Other debt, equity financings or sale of royalties.

Historically, we have been successful in accessing capital through equity and debt financing arrangements or by the sale of royalties on its mineral properties, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital or financing, our operations, exploration and development activities will be significantly adversely affected. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on having sufficient capital to maintain our operations and to repay debt which become due in November 2023 and September 2024. In considering our financing plans, our current working capital position and our ability to reduce operating expenses the Company believes there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern twelve months after the date that our financial statements are issued.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management considers the following policies to be most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our financial statements are affected by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies are those related to mineral property acquisition costs, exploration and development cost, derivative accounting and foreign currency translation.

Estimates

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements and notes in conformity to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related the adequacy of the Company’s reclamation and environmental obligation, and assessment of impairment of mineral properties. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Mineral property acquisition costs

The Company capitalizes the cost of acquiring mineral properties and will amortize these costs over the useful life of a property following the commencement of production or expense these costs if it is determined that the mineral property has no future economic value or the properties are sold or abandoned. Costs include cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts of the specific mineral property at the time the payments are made.

The amounts recorded as mineral properties reflect actual costs incurred to acquire the properties and do not indicate any present or future value of economically recoverable reserves.

Exploration expenses

We record exploration expenses as incurred. When we determine that precious metal resource deposit can be economically and legally extracted or produced based on established proven and probable reserves, further exploration expenses related to such reserves incurred after such a determination will be capitalized. To date, we have not established any proven or probable reserves and will continue to expense exploration costs as incurred.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The fair value of the Company’s asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) is measured by discounting the expected cash flows using a discount factor that reflects the credit-adjusted risk free rate of interest, while taking into account the inflation rate. The Company prepares estimates of the timing and amounts of expected cash flows and ongoing reclamation expenditures are charged against the ARO as incurred to the extent they relate to the ARO. Significant judgments and estimates are made when estimating the fair value of ARO.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable as a smaller reporting company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The evaluation considered the procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 13d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Because of its inherent limitations, disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation or effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
