Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. Announces Initial Assessment of Sleeper Gold Project
Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (NYSE American: PZG) announced on 9 April 2026 that it has begun an Initial Assessment (IA) of its 100‑percent owned Sleeper Gold Project in Nevada. The IA is conducted under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) S‑K 1300 regulations and marks the first step in evaluating the project’s development potential.
Project Background
The Sleeper Gold Project is a past‑producing high‑grade operation located in Winnemucca, Nevada. Paramount owns the asset outright and intends to explore a range of development options, including possible joint ventures with producers, asset sales, or full in‑house mine operation.
Scope of the Initial Assessment
The IA will:
- Review existing data and historical production records.
- Conduct a preliminary geological and mineral resource assessment.
- Estimate early-stage economic metrics, such as capital and operating costs.
- Identify potential risks and regulatory requirements.
The assessment is a prerequisite for a future NI‑43‑101 Mineral Resource Estimate and a more detailed economic study.
