Paramount released an updated Grassy Mountain feasibility study showing an after-tax NPV of $374.7 million and 38.9% IRR at $3,600 gold, up 228% and 72% from the 2022 study. Recoverable gold rose 7% to 385,800 ounces and mine life extended to 9.3 years; state permitting approval was expected in the second half of 2026.
Paramount's auditor Moss Adams merged into Baker Tilly US, which became its new auditor by succession; Moss Adams' prior audit reports for fiscal 2024 and 2023 had each included a going-concern qualification, an ongoing financial-health flag even as the Sprott financing eased near-term pressure.
Paramount set up a new $3.1 million ATM facility with Cantor Fitzgerald and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (replacing Canaccord as a co-agent), after fully selling out the prior $14.5 million ATM program.
Paramount closed a much larger, cleaner financing: a $15 million Secured Royalty Convertible Debenture from Sprott, at 10% interest, secured against both Grassy Mountain and Sleeper. Proceeds funded Grassy Mountain permitting and paid off both the 2019 convertible notes and the Seabridge bridge loan - replacing two smaller, increasingly expensive distress-era facilities with one larger strategic financing. If converted, Sprott would hold a 4.75% gross revenue royalty on Grassy Mountain production.
Paramount similarly amended its Seabridge Gold bridge loan, extending maturity to November 2023 (or earlier if the same Sprott financing deal closes) and raising the rate from 12% to 13% - the same financing-strain pattern as its convertible notes amendment days earlier.
Paramount amended its 2019 convertible notes, extending maturity to the earlier of September 30, 2024 or funding of the deal in its non-binding term sheet with Sprott. The interest rate stays at 7.5% through September 30, 2023, then rises to 12% from October 1, 2023.
Paramount adjusted its ATM facility to $2.6 million remaining capacity, having sold $13.3 million of stock cumulatively under the program since late 2020.
Paramount took out a $1.5 million bridge loan from Seabridge Gold - a related party, since Seabridge is affiliated with Paramount's own board chairman Rudi Fronk and owns about 6.5% of Paramount's stock. The 12% loan matures in under a year, a sign the company needed financing outside of its normal equity channels.
Paramount's auditor MNP LLP resigned and the company engaged Moss Adams LLP as its new independent auditor for fiscal 2022, with no disagreements noted.
Paramount set up an at-the-market (ATM) equity sales facility with Cantor Fitzgerald and Canaccord Genuity, allowing it to sell up to $8 million of stock gradually over time as needed.
Paramount raised $5.34 million through senior secured convertible notes (7.5% interest, convertible at $1.00/share, secured by all company assets) - its first use of secured debt rather than pure equity to fund the business.

Paramount hired Ausenco to complete a NI 43-101 feasibility study for Grassy Mountain, with the study expected to finish in mid-2020. Ausenco will be paid entirely in 1,109,225 restricted shares, held in escrow until it delivers the final study.
Paramount sold Franco-Nevada a 2% net smelter return royalty on its Sleeper Gold property in northern Nevada for $2 million cash - non-dilutive funding, and confirmation that Sleeper (not just Grassy Mountain) is a real asset in Paramount's portfolio.
Paramount priced a 3.2 million share public offering at $1.40 per share, led by Canaccord Genuity and Cantor Fitzgerald, plus a concurrent private placement of 1,775,000 shares to FCMI Parent Co. and Seabridge Gold. Gross proceeds were about $7.0 million, mainly for the Grassy Mountain pre-feasibility study and permitting.
Paramount raised about $3.66 million in a private placement of stock and warrants to help fund development of its newly acquired Grassy Mountain project.
Paramount completed its acquisition of Calico Resources, issuing about 7.2 million shares (worth roughly $15.2 million) - Calico, and its Grassy Mountain Gold Project in Oregon, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Paramount filed a preliminary proxy statement asking shareholders to vote at a special meeting (June 2016, date not yet set) on issuing 7,171,209 shares to Calico Resources shareholders for the Calico acquisition announced in March. The board unanimously recommends a yes vote; NYSE MKT rules require a majority of votes cast. Calico holders representing about 37.8% of Calico shares (FCMI Parent Co. ~19.6%, Seabridge Gold ~13.5%, Calico directors and officers ~4.7%) have agreed to vote for the deal. The filing is preliminary, with the meeting date, record date and solicitor cost still blank.
Paramount agreed to acquire Calico Resources, owner of the Grassy Mountain Gold Project in Oregon, in an all-stock deal at 0.07 Paramount shares per Calico share. Existing Paramount holders were projected to own about 54% (57% fully diluted) and Calico holders about 46% (43% fully diluted).
Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. was spun off from Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. as an independent, NYSE MKT-listed company (ticker PZG), in connection with Coeur Mining's acquisition of the parent. Coeur contributed $8.25 million in equity funding and bought a 4.9% stake for $1.47 million cash; former parent shareholders received the remaining ~95.1% via a pro-rata stock dividend.
