Tiger Gold Drills 165.7 m @ 0.9 g/t Au at
Depth, Including 36 m @ 2.9 g/t Au, at Ceibal
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 15, 2026) - Tiger Gold Corp. (TSXV: TIGR)
(FSE: D150) (OTCQB: TGRGF) ("Tiger" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results for three
drillholes from its Ceibal target at its Quinchía Gold Project in Colombia's prolific Mid-Cauca gold belt.
The drilling forms part of Tiger's ongoing 20,000-metre drill program at Ceibal, which lies approximately
1 kilometre south of the Miraflores deposit and 1 kilometre southwest of the Tesorito deposit.
Highlights:
CEDDH-019
intersected
232 m @ 0.5 g/t Au

from 400 m downhole
CEDDH-018
intersected
465 m @ 0.6 g/t Au
from surface and ended in mineralization:
including
21 m @ 1.2 g/t Au

from 52 m downhole
including
6 m @ 2.0 g/t Au
from 70 m downhole
including
10 m @ 1.1 g/t Au
from 342 m downhole
CEDDH-017-AB
intersected
63.85 m @ 0.6 g/t Au
from surface before being abandoned:
including
6 m @ 1.3 g/t Au
from 32 m downhole
One drill rig is active at Ceibal and two are completing infill, extension, and gap drilling at the
Tesorito deposit; assays are pending from both.
"These long intervals from surface, together with the higher grades now emerging at depth, are very
encouraging and are deepening our understanding of the Ceibal system. Assays are pending for
CEDDH-022, which is positioned above the higher-grade intervals we intersected in CEDDH-011 and
CEDDH-019 and will show whether that mineralization extends closer to surface," commented Robert
Vallis, President and CEO.
The results reported in this news release are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the Ceibal
drillhole collar and section locations. Figures 2 and 3 show the interpretive cross-sections for CEDDH-
019 and CEDDH-018, respectively. Figure 4 is a regional map of the Quinchía Gold Project. All reported
intervals are downhole core lengths. Due to the early stage of exploration, true widths are unknown.
Ceibal lies approximately 1 kilometre south of the Miraflores deposit and 1 kilometre southwest of the
Tesorito deposit, within the regional Marmato Fault Corridor (Figure 4).
Drilling at Ceibal has outlined a northwest to north trending mineralized corridor that is interpreted to be
sub-vertical, with an indeterminate dip direction, and the apparent width of the corridor is not well
constrained by drilling. Mineralization has been traced to approximately 800 metres vertically below
surface in previous drilling and remains open at depth and to the southwest.
At this early stage of exploration, the geometry and dip direction of the corridor are not yet defined, and
its true thickness, extent, and continuity remain to be established by further drilling. To help resolve the
orientation and dip and to test the extent of mineralization across strike, the Company has drilled a pair
of offset scissor holes, CEDDH-020 and CEDDH-021, drilled in opposing directions (N100° and N280°)
across the corridor for which assays are pending.
One drill rig is currently active at Ceibal, and two rigs are completing the infill, extension, and gap drilling
program at the Tesorito deposit in support of upgrading a significant portion of the deposit to the
Indicated category. Drilling at Tesorito is expected to conclude near the end of this month at which time
both rigs will be mobilized to Ceibal. Drilling at Ceibal is intended to support a maiden Mineral Resource
estimate that the Company is targeting to report near the end of first quarter of 2027. There is no
certainty that a Mineral Resource estimate will be defined at the Ceibal target.
CEDDH-019 Returns Higher-Grade Gold at Depth and Ended in Mineralization
CEDDH-019 was drilled approximately 30 metres southwest of CEDDH-011 (
685.35 metres grading
0.6 g/t Au
from surface) and 120 metres southwest of CEDDH-002 (
579.1 metres grading 0.5 g/t Au
from 7.5 metres downhole) to increase drill density and improve geological understanding in the central
part of the corridor
1
(Figures 1 and 2).
The hole intersected
232 metres grading 0.5 g/t Au
from surface and a deeper interval of
165.7
metres grading 0.9 g/t Au
from 284 metres downhole, including
36 metres grading 2.9 g/t Au
from
400 metres, and ended in mineralization that remains open at depth. The 52-metre interval between the
two composites was weakly mineralized and did not form any composites meeting the Company's
reporting threshold. The near-surface part of the upper composite is developed within supergene-altered
saprolite and may in part reflect supergene enrichment, and such near-surface grades are not
necessarily representative of primary mineralization at depth.
The hole's highest-grade gold interval occurs at depth, within a thick early diorite. CEDDH-019 is
porphyritic dacite to about 242 metres, then passes into the early diorite, which continues to the bottom
of the hole together with A-type quartz veins, chalcopyrite, and bornite that increase with depth. The early
diorite remains open at depth, and its relationship to the surrounding porphyry is being evaluated with
further drilling and modelling.
CEDDH-019 was collared approximately 30 metres southwest from CEDDH-011 and drilled in a similar
orientation, effectively creating an offset twin of the upper part of that earlier hole. Both holes intersect a
broadly similar sequence dominated by porphyritic dacite and diorite, carry consistent potassic
alteration overprinted by chlorite-sericite, and chalcopyrite in quartz-feldspar veinlets, with bornite
developed in the CEDDH-019 diorite and trace molybdenite in both holes, and each returned long
intervals of gold mineralization from surface. This near-surface repeatability at the same position in the
corridor supports future resource modelling.
At depth, CEDDH-019 returned a strong interval of
36 metres grading 2.9 g/t Au
from 400 metres
downhole, hosted within the early diorite. The higher-grade intervals in CEDDH-011 occur in different
host rocks. At 438 metres downhole in CEDDH-011, the
16 metres grading 1.2 g/t Au
interval occurs
within dacite porphyry, and at 660 metres downhole, the
6 metres grading 1.8 g/t Au
interval straddles
the contact between dacite porphyry and basalt near the base of the hole. This difference over about 30
metres of lateral spacing shows that, while the porphyry system and its higher-grade mineralization are
present at depth in the central part of the corridor, their grade, geometry, and continuity are not yet
defined.
CEDDH-022, collared approximately 50 metres southwest from CEDDH-019 on the same section line
and at a similar orientation, is positioned to test, at shallower depths, the higher-grade mineralization
intersected at depth in CEDDH-019 and CEDDH-011. Assays for CEDDH-022 are pending.
CEDDH-018 Confirms Broad Gold Mineralization from Surface to the End of the Hole
CEDDH-018 was drilled as an infill hole on the main Ceibal section line (Figure 3), which includes the
discovery hole CEDDH-001 (
500 m at 0.5 g/t Au
from surface), together with CEDDH-005, CEDDH-
009, CEDDH-010, and CEDDH-012. The hole was collared approximately 70 metres southwest of
CEDDH-001 and 55 metres northeast of CEDDH-009 (Figure 1). The other holes on this section were
previously reported and each returned long, broadly mineralized intervals from surface and at depth
2
. As
an infill hole, CEDDH-018 confirms the mineralization along this section and improves drill density and
confidence for the planned maiden Mineral Resource estimate.
CEDDH-018 intersected
465 metres grading 0.6 g/t Au
from surface and remained mineralized to the
end of the hole, including
21 metres grading 1.2 g/t Au
from 24 metres downhole,
10 metres grading
1.3 g/t Au
from 52 metres,
6 metres grading 2.0 g/t Au
from 70 metres, and
10 metres grading 1.1
g/t Au
from 342 metres. The hole is hosted almost entirely in porphyritic dacite, cut by an intramineral
diorite between 166 and 210 metres.
A secondary-biotite potassic alteration overprint, cut by moderate chlorite-sericite, begins near 74
metres and strengthens with depth, and is strongest between approximately 190 and 285 metres.
Chalcopyrite and trace molybdenite are associated with the quartz-feldspar and quartz-magnetite
veinlets, and a weak propylitic overprint appears over the lowest 50 metres of the hole. The near-surface
higher-grade intervals are developed within supergene-altered saprolite and may in part reflect
supergene enrichment, and such near-surface grades are not necessarily representative of primary
mineralization at depth.
CEDDH-017-AB Returns Near-Surface Gold Before Abandonment
CEDDH-017-AB was collared approximately 150 metres south-southeast of CEDDH-019 and was
stopped at 63.85 metres by drill-pad instability concerns, well short of its planned depth (Figure 1). Over
the length drilled, the hole intersected
63.85 metres grading 0.6 g/t Au
from surface, including
6
metres grading 1.3 g/t Au
from 32 metres downhole. The hole ended in the shallow chlorite-sericite
alteration zone before reaching the potassic alteration developed at depth in the other Ceibal holes. The
near-surface higher-grade interval is developed within supergene-altered saprolite and may in part
reflect supergene enrichment, and such near-surface grades are not necessarily representative of
primary mineralization at depth. No cross-section is presented for CEDDH-017 given the limited depth
drilled.
Qualified Person
The pertinent scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and
approved by Jeremy Link, M.Eng., P.Eng., Tiger's Vice-President, Corporate Development, and César
García, M.Sc., FAusIMM, the Company's Exploration Manager in Colombia, each of whom is a "qualified
person" as defined by Canadian Securities Administrators within the meaning of
National Instrument
43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects
("NI 43-101"). Neither Mr. Link nor Mr. García is
independent of the Company. Drill programs at Ceibal are designed by Mr. Link and Mr. García.
Exploration programs at the Quinchía Gold Project are directed and supervised by Mr. García.
Sampling, Quality Assurance and Quality Control
All drilling was completed using HQ- and NQ-diameter diamond core. Drill core is logged by a Company
geologist, photographed, cut in half, and sampled at the Company's core facility in Quinchía, Colombia
under the supervision of a geologist. One half of the core is bagged and sent to ALS' laboratory in
Medellín for sample preparation and with sub-samples sent to ALS' laboratories in Lima, Perú for
analysis. The remaining half-core (or quarter-core if a core duplicate sample was taken) is retained
onsite as a witness sample. Core was sampled over nominal 2-metre intervals, adjusted to geological
boundaries. ALS' Medellín and Lima laboratories are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and are independent of
the Company. All samples are analyzed for gold using 50 g fire assay with AAS finish (Au-AA26).
Samples are also analyzed for a 48-element suite by ICP-AES and ICP-MS following a four-acid
digestion (ME-MS61L). Where applicable, high-grade and overlimit assays are re-analyzed using an
appropriate technique. In addition to the laboratory's quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC")
practices, certified reference materials, coarse blanks, and quarter-core duplicates are inserted into the
sample stream to monitor analytical performance. Mr. García has verified the data underlying the results
disclosed in this news release, including the sampling, analytical, and test data, by reviewing the certified
reference material, blank, and duplicate QA/QC results against the assay database, and neither Mr.
García nor Mr. Link is aware of any limitations on that verification. Other than as reported, no unreported
significant core recovery or drilling issues were encountered during the program. Drill core was
orientated, and downhole orientation surveys were collected at regular intervals. For data verification of
the prior operator drilling results (CEDDH-001 to CEDDH-008) referenced in this news release, see

Forward-looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, statements regarding the
Company's plans and intentions with respect to the exploration and development of the Quinchía Gold
Project; exploration results, geologic interpretations, potential mineralization, the apparent strike extent,
width, and depth of mineralization at Ceibal, the geometry, true thickness, and continuity of the
mineralized system, the presence and extent of an early diorite phase associated with higher-grade gold
at depth; the potential for mineralization to remain open at depth and along strike; and the potential to
expand, define and/or upgrade the classification of Mineral Resources, including through infill, extension,
gap, definition, and step-out drilling; planned drilling programs, including the anticipated timing,
commencement, completion, and results of the approximately 20,000-metre drill program at Ceibal and
of drilling and assays pending or in progress, including the offset scissor holes and planned gap-testing
and their potential to resolve the geometry, orientation, and dip of the mineralized corridor; the potential
for current step-out drilling at Ceibal to extend the interpreted footprint of the mineralized corridor; the
anticipated preparation, timing, and completion of a maiden Mineral Resource estimate for the Ceibal
target, including the expectation that such estimate would be completed near the end of the first quarter
of 2027; the timing and completion of planned field programs and future technical studies (including
preliminary economic assessment, preliminary feasibility, or feasibility-level studies) and updated
Mineral Resource estimates; the establishment of mutually beneficial partnerships with local and
Indigenous communities; the timing of the commencement of operations; and estimates of market
conditions.
Forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions including, without limitation, the availability of
drilling rigs and other equipment, contractors and supplies, continued site access, receipt of required
permits and approvals, the Company's ability to maintain community and stakeholder support; that
drilling, sampling, assaying, data compilation, geological modelling and Mineral Resource estimation,
and technical studies will commence and be completed on the timelines currently anticipated; that drilling
completed and planned at Ceibal will be of sufficient density, spacing, and quality to support the
estimation and classification of a Mineral Resource; that a qualified person will determine that the
available data supports the classification of a Mineral Resource at the Ceibal target; that the Company
will have access to any financing required to advance technical studies and the project; and that
exploration and drilling results will be consistent with management's expectations. Such forward-looking
information also includes statements regarding the Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Quinchía
Gold Project, which by definition is preliminary in nature, 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 for which there is no certainty that the
economics or results described will be realized. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not
have demonstrated economic viability. Any references to nearby projects, properties, deposits, or mines
are provided for regional context only, and mineralization on adjacent or nearby properties is not
necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Quinchía Gold Project.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking information include,
but are not limited to, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future;
changes in equity markets; inflation; changes in exchange rates; fluctuations in commodity prices,
including gold and diesel fuel; failure to intersect potentially economic intervals of mineralization;
uncertainties related to geological continuity, potential mineralization and the extent of mineralization,
including due to geological complexity, insufficient drilling data, or incomplete, inaccurate, or insufficient
historical drilling data, which may not yield economically viable results; that drilling at Ceibal may not
support the definition or classification of a Mineral Resource, and that a maiden Mineral Resource
estimate for the Ceibal target may not be completed within the anticipated timeframe or at all; risks that
field programs may be reduced, delayed or may not proceed at all; delays in, or reductions to, or the
inability to complete or advance drill or field programs, sampling, assaying, data validation, data
verification, geological modelling, technical studies, or Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve estimates,
including within anticipated timeframes; risks that the Company may not satisfy minimum expenditure
requirements, which could adversely affect the Company's ability to maintain its interest in the Quinchía
Gold Project; delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental, or other
project approvals; changes in governmental regulation of exploration and mining operations; political
risks and social unrest; inability to fulfil consultation or accommodation obligations in respect of
Indigenous peoples or to maintain constructive relationships with local communities; delays in the
advancement of projects; capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates; and the other
risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry.
