Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 14, 2026) - Tiger Gold Corp. (TSXV: TIGR) (FSE: D150) (OTCQB: TGRGF) ("Tiger" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that drilling is now underway with two rigs at the high-priority Ceibal target area on its Quinchía Gold Project. The Company has expanded the planned initial exploration program from 1,500 metres to 5,000 metres. Drilling at Ceibal forms part of Tiger's broader 20,000-metre drill program at Quinchía, located in the prolific Mid-Cauca belt of Colombia.

Robert Vallis, President & CEO, commented, "Ceibal represents an exciting opportunity for Tiger with the potential to materially expand the existing resource base at Quinchía. Drilling is now underway at Ceibal with two rigs, and we have expanded the planned program from 1,500 to 5,000 metres. The planned drilling is intended to establish an initial section across the mineralised corridor, followed by step-out holes along the corridor to test its extent. A single 1,200-metre hole is also planned to test the system below surface and gather vectoring information toward the causative porphyry. Prior drilling at Ceibal returned long intersections of porphyry-style mineralisation in multiple holes, including two intervals of 500 metres or more grading 0.5 g/t Au, and we believe Ceibal has the potential to support follow-up drilling directed toward future Mineral Resource definition. With three rigs operating across Quinchía, we are well positioned to continue advancing Ceibal alongside our other drilling priorities, including Tesorito and Dos Quebradas."

The Ceibal target area (Figure 1) is located approximately 1 kilometre south of the Miraflores deposit and 1 kilometre southwest of the Tesorito deposit and is coincident with a sub-circular Au-Cu-Mo surface geochemical anomaly with an approximate footprint of 800 metres by 600 metres. Ceibal shares key similarities with Tesorito, including its location within the broader Marmato Fault Corridor, a surface geochemical anomaly that is broadly comparable in size and tenor, and porphyry-style mineralisation hosted in andesite. For reference, the Tesorito deposit hosts an open-pit Inferred Mineral Resource of 104 million tonnes at 0.47 g/t Au for 1.57 million ounces of gold, and 0.58 g/t Ag for 1.96 million ounces of silver.

Prior drilling at Ceibal highlighted the potential scale of a significant porphyry-style gold system. Between 2021 and 2022, a prior operator completed 8 HQ- and NQ-diameter diamond drillholes totalling 5,433.76 metres at the Ceibal target area across two programs. The programs reported long intersections of porphyry-style gold mineralisation in multiple holes, as summarized in Table 1, with select highlights including:

• CEDDH-001: 500 m @ 0.5 g/t Au from surface,
• CEDDH-002: 579.1 m @ 0.5 g/t Au from 7.5 m downhole,
• CEDDH-003: 466 m @ 0.4 g/t Au from surface,
• CEDDH-004: 362 m @ 0.4 g/t Au from 2 m downhole,
• CEDDH-005: 351.6 m @ 0.4 g/t Au from 160.7 m downhole, and
• CEDDH-006: 248.3 m @ 0.4 g/t Au from 538 m downhole.

Drilling at Ceibal has delineated at least 300 metres of mineralised andesite and basalt along a corridor that remains open to the north-northwest, the south-southeast, and to the southwest (Figure 2). Based upon the current interpretation, this corridor is defined by drilling in six holes, CEDDH-001 through CEDDH-006. The full extent, width, and orientation of this mineralised corridor have not yet been established, and refining that interpretation is a key objective of this initial program. Mineralisation is associated with QM- and M-type veining and chlorite-sericite overprinting, with subordinate potassic alteration. Sulphides commonly include pyrite, with lesser chalcopyrite and molybdenite, and magnetite is ubiquitous. The causative intrusive porphyry, or feeder zone, has not yet been intersected.

Tiger's expanded 5,000-metre initial drill program at Ceibal is intended to build upon prior drilling by systematically testing the apparent north-northwest-trending mineralised corridor and assessing continuity at depth. The use of two drill rigs and the increased program size is intended to accelerate data collection at this early stage, with the objectives of evaluating the overall scale of mineralisation, further refining the geological interpretation and framework, and generating the dataset needed to support future resource definition drilling.
