TIGER GOLD MOBILIZES THIRD DRILL RIG AND COMMENCES DRILLING AT DOS QUEBRADAS
A third diamond drill rig has arrived on site at Tiger Gold Corp.'s Quinchia gold project in Colombia and has commenced drilling at the high-priority Dos Quebradas target area. The Dos Quebradas program forms part of Tiger's broader initial 10,000-metre phase 1 drill program. The Quinchia gold project is located in central Colombia's prolific Mid-Cauca gold belt, approximately 20 kilometres south of Aris Mining's Marmato gold mine, and Collective Mining's Guayabales and San Antonio projects.
The company has mobilized its third drill rig to Dos Quebradas, and drilling has commenced on an initial 1,000-metre program focused on advancing high-priority targets, strengthening the geological framework and refining the company's exploration model, building upon encouraging fieldwork and modelling completed in the fourth quarter of 2025. Two diamond drill rigs continue drilling at Tesorito. Assays are pending from multiple drill holes completed at Tesorito and will be reported in due course.
Robert Vallis, president and chief executive officer, commented: "Mobilizing a third rig and commencing drilling at Dos Quebradas is a key step in executing upon our plan to expand drilling across the Quinchia gold project. With one rig now turning at Dos Quebradas and two rigs continuing at Tesorito, we are well positioned to advance multiple high-priority targets in parallel and to deliver regular news flow as results are received."
Dos Quebradas is located approximately three kilometres northwest of the Tesorito and Miraflores deposits. Historical drilling at Dos Quebradas comprises 23 diamond drill holes totalling 9,326 metres completed between 2011 and 2012. The most recent historical mineral resource estimate for the Dos Quebradas deposit was prepared by Resource Development Associates Inc. with an effective date of Feb. 25, 2020, and reported by LCL Resources Ltd. in accordance with the Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code (2012). The historical estimate consisted of an inferred mineral resource of 20.2 million tonnes at 0.71 gram of gold per tonne (for 459,000 ounces of gold) using a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off.
The historical Dos Quebradas estimate was based upon 19 diamond drill holes (8,824 m) drilled on 25-metre section spacing, defining mineralization over an approximately 400-metre-by-300-metre area from surface to an approximately 550-metre depth. Mineralization is hosted within diorite porphyry and intrusive breccias.
This estimate is considered historical and has not been verified by Tiger. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify this estimate as current, and Tiger is not treating it as current. Recommended work programs include assaying of historical core to confirm grades, database validation and verification to ensure data integrity, and updated geological modelling to align with current Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. Tiger considers Dos Quebradas an exploration prospect within the Quinchia gold project, with potential requiring further drilling and evaluation.
Mineral resources and preliminary economic assessment
The Quinchia gold project includes mineral resource estimates for the Miraflores and Tesorito deposits with an effective date of July 31, 2025. The mineral resources were estimated using CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014) and in accordance with CIM Mineral Resources and Mineral Resources Best Practice Guidelines (2019). Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Tesorito gold deposit
At an open-pit cut-off grade of 0.20 g/t Au:
- Inferred: 104 million tonnes at 0.47 g/t gold for 1.57 million ounces Au, and 0.58 g/t silver for 1.96 Moz Ag.
Miraflores gold deposit
At an underground cut-off grade of 1.37 g/t gold equivalent:
- Measured: 2.8 Mt at 2.75 g/t Au for 240,000 oz Au, and 2.37 g/t Ag for 210,000 oz Ag;
- Indicated: 3.3 Mt at 2.52 g/t Au for 270,000 oz Au, and 2.20 g/t Ag for 230,000 oz Ag;
- Measured and indicated: 6.1 Mt at 2.62 g/t Au for 510,000 oz Au, and 2.28 g/t Ag for 440,000 oz Ag;
- Inferred: 80,000 t at 2.81 g/t Au for 10,000 oz Au, and 2.54 g/t Ag for 10,000 oz Ag.
Quinchia gold project PEA
A preliminary economic assessment and technical report for the Quinchia gold project (effective Sept. 18, 2025) were completed by Ausenco Engineering and filed on SEDAR+ on Dec. 10, 2025.
The PEA base case evaluated the Quinchia gold project's Miraflores and Tesorito deposits at a $2,650 (U.S.)-per-ounce-gold price and $29.51 (U.S.)-per-ounce-silver price using a discounted cash flow analysis at a 5-per-cent discount rate and, based upon the assumptions set out in the technical report, resulted in a posttax net present value (5 per cent) of $534-million (U.S.), an internal rate of return of 21.3 per cent and a payback period of 3.83 years. Over the 10.2-year mine life, the PEA reported average annual payable production of 138,000 oz of gold and 104,000 oz of silver (141,000 oz gold equivalent), with cash costs of $1,199 (U.S.) per oz Au and all-in sustaining costs of $1,340 (U.S.) per oz Au. The PEA also outlined an upside case at $3,700 (U.S.) per oz Au that yielded a posttax net present value (5 per cent) of $1.188-billion (U.S.) and an internal rate of return of 36.5 per cent.
The PEA is, by definition, preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA results will be realized.
