Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (NYSE American: PZG) ("Paramount” or
“the Company”) announced today that it has received acceptance for
the Surface Water Baseline Data Report (“BDR”) from the State
Technical Review Team (TRT) for its proposed, underground Grassy
Mountain gold project (“Grassy Mountain”) in Malheur County,
Oregon.
Paramount CEO, Glen van Treek commented: “This BDR acceptance,
combined with the other sixteen previously accepted, and the recent
filing of the Conditional Use Permit with Malheur County, further
supports the positive momentum we have achieved with the Oregon
regulators. We are well underway with the permitting process and
are confident we are proceeding on the path towards approval for
Grassy Mountain.”
The Surface Water BDR was completed by SPF Water Engineering and

was reviewed and accepted by the TRT, including the following
Oregon State agencies: Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral
Industries, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality; Oregon
Water Resources Department; and Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife.
A summary of all baseline data reports for Grassy Mountain are

- 17 of the 23 baseline reports have been reviewed and accepted

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).
