Vancouver, Canada / TheNewswire / June 1, 2016 - Calico Resources Corp . (TSX-V: CKB)("Calico" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed a management information circular (the "Circular") and related proxy materials in advance of the annual and special meeting of shareholders of Calico to be held on Wednesday, June 29, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) (the "Meeting") to seek approval of, among other things, the Arrangement (as defined herein). The Circular is now being mailed to shareholders of Calico to provide them with information about Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (NYSE MKT:PZG) ("Paramount") and the proposed Arrangement.

On March 14, 2016, Calico and Paramount entered into an arrangement agreement and announced a proposed business combination pursuant to which, among other things, Paramount will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Calico (the "Arrangement"). The Arrangement is expected to be completed by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

Annual and Special Meeting

The special meeting of shareholder of Calico is scheduled to be held at 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on Wednesday, June 29, 2016 at the offices of Bennett Jones LLP, Suite 2200, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

At the Meeting, the shareholders of Calico will be asked, among other things, to consider and, if deemed advisable, pass a resolution approving the Arrangement (the "Arrangement Resolution"). To be effective, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved at the Meeting by at least (i) 66 2/3 % of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by the shareholders of Calico present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, and (ii) at least a majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by the minority shareholders of Calico present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Shareholders of Calico are encouraged to read the Circular and related proxy materials in detail. An electronic copy of the Circular and related proxy materials are available on SEDAR under the issuer profile of Calico at www.sedar.com . It is anticipated that the transaction will close in early July 2016.

Benefits of the Arrangement

The board of directors of Calico believes that the proposed transaction will unlock the considerable value in our Grassy Mountain project for the benefit of the shareholders of Calico. Paramount has a strong cash position of approximately US$ 7.9 million (as at December 31, 2015), along with experienced technical and operational leadership able to take the project forward to production and the financial resources needed to complete the permitting process and a feasibility study, which our Calico team has advanced to this point. In addition, the board of directors of Calico believes that Paramount's Sleeper Gold Project will represent an excellent economic opportunity in a better metal price environment. The shareholders of Calico are also expected to benefit from Paramount's listing on the NYSE MKT. In our view, the proposed combination is synergistic, as the combined company will have a stronger asset base than Calico or Paramount separately, offering shareholders a better opportunity for capital appreciation while also reducing administrative costs.
