Tiger's Phase 1 drill program at the Quinchía Gold Project commenced in November and continues to ramp up. Two rigs are currently active on site at Tesorito, and a third drill rig is scheduled for delivery in January.
The Phase 1 program is planned for 10,000 metres of drilling, including 6,000 metres at Tesorito, focused upon infill and extension drilling intended to upgrade and expand the Mineral Resource. The balance of the Phase 1 program is intended to test additional high-priority targets at Quinchía, as shown in Figure 1.
In parallel with drilling, the Company is advancing mapping, sampling, and modelling to support upcoming drilling at Dos Quebradas, Miraflores, and other nearby high priority targets. The Company also continues community, environmental, and stakeholder engagement to support responsible long-term advancement of the project.
Following the completion of Phase I, the Company anticipates launching a second 10,000-metre Phase 2 drill program, together with environmental and engineering work to support assessment of next steps for the project in anticipation of moving towards commencing pre-feasibility level studies.
As shown in Figure 1, the Quinchía project is located approximately 20 km south of Aris Mining's (TSX: ARIS) Marmato Gold Mine and Collective Mining's (TSX: CNL) (NYSE: CNL) Guayables and San Antonio projects, in what is becoming one of South America's most exciting districts for gold mining and exploration. The Quinchía Gold Project benefits from an exceptional location, close to an operating mine, with excellent access and proximity to existing infrastructure, including road, rail, and clean, low-cost, renewable hydroelectric grid power, as shown in Figure 2.

Quinchía sits in an increasingly proven gold district, and the Company believes the broader system remains under-explored beyond the current resource areas. Over the balance of 2026, drilling and fieldwork will focus on expanding the footprint and prioritising the next set of drill-ready targets.
Mineral Resource Estimates
The Quinchía Gold Project includes current Mineral Resource estimates for the Miraflores and Tesorito deposits with an effective date of July 31, 2025. The Mineral Resources were estimated using CIM (2014) Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Miraflores Gold Deposit (effective July 31, 2025)
A cut-off grade of 1.37 g/t AuEq has been applied to define the underground resource reporting shape.
- Measured: 2.8 Mt at 2.75 g/t Au for 0.24 Moz Au, and 2.37 g/t Ag for 0.21 Moz Ag
- Indicated: 3.3 Mt at 2.52 g/t Au for 0.27 Moz Au, and 2.20 g/t Ag for 0.23 Moz Ag
- Inferred: 0.08 Mt at 2.81 g/t Au for 0.01 Moz Au, and 2.54 g/t Ag for 0.01 Moz Ag
Tesorito Gold Deposit (effective July 31, 2025)
An open-pit cut-off grade of 0.20 g/t Au has been applied.
- Inferred: 104 Mt at 0.47 g/t Au for 1.57 Moz Au, and 0.58 g/t Ag for 1.96 Moz Ag
Dos Quebradas Deposit - Historical Estimate
The most recent historical mineral resource estimate for the Dos Quebradas deposit was prepared by Resource Development Associates Inc. ("RDA") with an effective date of February 25, 2020, and reported by LCL in accordance with the JORC Code (2012). The historical estimate is as follows:
- Inferred Mineral Resource: 20.2 Mt at 0.71 g/t Au (459,000 oz Au) using a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off.
This estimate is considered historical in nature and has not been verified by Tiger Gold or the Qualified Person. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify this historical estimate as a current mineral resource, and Tiger Gold is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. Recommended work programs include assaying of historical core to confirm grades, database validation and verification to ensure data integrity, check surveys to verify drillhole locations, and updated geological modelling to align with current CIM Standards.

Although Tiger has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
The factors identified above are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect Tiger. Additional factors are noted under "Risk Factors" in Tiger's public disclosure record, including in the filing statement and other documents available under Tiger's profile on SEDAR+.
