Tiger Gold Intersects 169.7 m at 0.9 g/t Au of Porphyry-Style Mineralization at Tesorito, Including 25 m at 2.2 g/t Au

Drill Results

Tiger Gold Intersects 169.7 m at 0.9 g/t Au of

Porphyry-Style Mineralization at Tesorito,

Including 25 m at 2.2 g/t Au

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2026) - Tiger Gold Corp. (TSXV: TIGR) (FSE:

D150) (OTCQB: TGRGF) ("Tiger" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results from six

drillholes from its ongoing diamond drilling campaign at the Tesorito deposit at its Quinchía Gold Project

in Colombia's prolific Mid-Cauca gold belt. Drilling at Tesorito forms part of Tiger's broader 20,000-

metre drill program, which is ongoing with three diamond drill rigs active across the project.

Highlights:

TSDH-78:

169.71 m @ 0.9 g/t Au

from 278.29 m, including:

25 m @ 2.2 g/t Au

and 206 ppm Mo from 330 m,

17.1 m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 365 m, and

10 m @ 1.4 g/t Au from 392 m.

TSDH-78 returned

broad gold mineralization associated with intrusive breccias

, diorite

pulses, and porphyry-style veining beneath the current Mineral Resource conceptual pit shell.

Hole

TSDH-80 was drilled to test the expected continuation of the

potential feeder-style

mineralizing event

below TSDH-71, with assays pending.

Additional assay results are pending from drillholes at Tesorito, Dos Quebradas, and Ceibal.

Robert Vallis, President & CEO, commented, "TSDH-78 is another strong result from one of the

strongest sections drilled at Tesorito to date and further supports the continuity of higher-grade

mineralization in this part of the deposit. Together with the other holes drilled, we continue to improve our

understanding of the Tesorito system and help define the extent of mineralization in this area. TSDH-78

also provides important geological information in relation to the potential feeder-style mineralization

identified in TSDH-71, and we now look forward to receiving assays from TSDH-80, which was drilled to

test the expected continuation of that zone below TSDH-71."

The results reported in this release relate to drillholes TSDH-75, TSDH-76, TSDH-77, TSDH-78, TSDH-

79, and TSDH-81 and are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the location of the reported

drillholes, and Figures 2, 3, and 4 present representative sections through the current Tesorito model.

TSDH-78 Returns Broad Gold Mineralization with Higher-Grade Internal Intervals

TSDH-78 returned

169.71 m grading 0.9 g/t Au

from 278.29 m, including

25 m grading 2.2 g/t Au

and 206 ppm Mo

from 330 m,

17.1 m grading 1.5 g/t Au

from 365 m, and

10 m grading 1.4 g/t Au

from 392 m, as detailed in Table 1. This interval begins where the hole enters a more complex intrusive-

dominated sequence within the broader Tesorito porphyry system. The strongest part of the interval is

associated with intrusive breccias and diorite pulses, together with chlorite-sericite-magnetite alteration

overprinting earlier potassic alteration. This interval also contains A-, B-, and M-type porphyry veinlets,

with chalcopyrite and molybdenite observed in association with porphyry-style veining.

Figure 2 presents a cross section through drillholes TSDH-68, TSDH-69, TSDH-70, TSDH-71, and

TSDH-78 together with the current Inferred Mineral Resource block model. Results for TSDH-68 to

TSDH-71 were previously reported in Tiger news releases dated January 20, January 29, February 18,

and February 24, 2026, and are summarized in Table 3.

TSDH-78 was drilled above TSDH-71 on the same section line and tested for the possible continuation

of the potential feeder-style mineralizing event identified in that hole. While TSDH-78 returned a broad

gold-mineralized interval, it did not exhibit the same distinctive Au-Cu-Mo-rich signature encountered in

TSDH-71.

As summarized in Table 3, TSDH-71 returned

89.96 m grading 0.9 g/t Au, including 16.9 m grading

2.3 g/t Au, 0.25% Cu, and 158 ppm Mo

, including

6 m grading 4.1 g/t Au, 0.43% Cu, and 302 ppm

, which the Company interprets as a potential feeder-style mineralizing event. TSDH-78 is instead

interpreted as an important upper expression of this part of the system.

TSDH-80 remains the more direct test of the expected continuation of that zone below TSDH-71, and

assays are pending.

Section Line B-B' (Figure 3)

TSDH-77 Helps Define a Near-Surface Lateral Boundary to the Porphyry System

TSDH-77 intersected near-surface mineralization grading 0.3 g/t Au over 171.35 m from 8 m downhole

to the end of hole, in an area where the current block model display only partially reflects mineralization

due to the 0.2 g/t Au display cut-off (Figure 3). The hole was drilled predominantly in fractured porphyry

andesite.

Geological logging indicates the hole did not intersect the targeted potassic-centred porphyry domain.

While the hole remained outside the high-temperature potassic core, the presence of propylitic and

chlorite-sericite alteration with persistent M- and D-type veining provides essential boundary control. This

helps refine the outer geometry of the mineralized envelope for future resource modelling.

Together with TSDH-76 on the same section line (Figure 3), the Company interprets TSDH-77 as

helping define the near-surface lateral limit of stronger porphyry development within this part of the

deposit. It also adds useful boundary control for ongoing refinement of mineralized domains and

supports interpretation of the outer geometry of the system on this section.

TSDH-76 Intersects a Broad Mineralized Interval and Helps Refine Shallow Geometry

TSDH-76 intersected

147 m grading 0.3 g/t Au

from 66 m to 213 m downhole within porphyry andesite.

The principal porphyry-style target is interpreted from approximately 175 m to 204.5 m and is marked by

weak potassic alteration overprinted by chlorite-sericite alteration, together with M-dominant veining and

subordinate B-type veinlets.

TSDH-76 is positioned along the same section line as TSDH-77 (Figure 3) and one section southeast of

the TSDH-72, TSDH-73, and TSDH-74 line. Although no intrusive breccia or early diorite was logged,

the alteration and vein assemblages are consistent with a porphyry vector. Together with the consistent

gold grades, this suggests the hole is tracking the outer margin of a structurally controlled mineralized

centre.

In addition, the broad mineralized interval provides useful information on the geometry of the upper

mineralized envelope on this section. It also helps define the shallow margin of mineralization, which is

relevant to ongoing refinement and validation of the geological model and future resource modelling.

TSDH-81 Confirms Porphyry-Style Mineralization Near the SE Pit Shell Margin

TSDH-81 was a short vertical hole drilled to a depth of 98.8 m near the southeastern margin of the

current Tesorito Mineral Resource pit shell and intersected 47 m grading 0.3 g/t Au from 15 m and 24.8

m grading 0.4 g/t Au from 74 m. The hole intersected porphyritic andesite dominated by chlorite-sericite

alteration, with a discrete propylitic interval from 28.85 m to 41 m. Between 50.15 m and 52.72 m, the

hole encountered a porphyry-style mineralized interval characterized by B-type veinlets with a quartz-

pyrite-chalcopyrite-molybdenite assemblage. While limited in thickness, this interval confirms that

porphyry-style mineralization extends to this part of the system and provides useful vector information for

ongoing targeting nearby.

Section Line C-C' (Figure 4)

TSDH-75 Confirms Deeper Porphyry-Style Mineralization

TSDH-75 intersected two significant gold intervals:

64 m grading 0.3 g/t Au

from 334 m and

72.9 m

grading 0.5 g/t Au

from 410 m to 482.9 m downhole. The deeper interval coincides with a short intra-

mineral diorite segment followed by porphyry andesite and is interpreted as the principal porphyry target

in the hole. Geological logging records chlorite-sericite alteration overprinting weak to locally moderate

potassic alteration. Veining includes M- and B-type veinlets, with pyrite and magnetite as disseminations

and stringers, and local chalcopyrite and molybdenum associated with B-type and gypsum veinlets. The

presence of M- and B-type veinlets with associated chalcopyrite and molybdenum reinforces the

continuity of the mineralized system on this section.

Located southwest of section line A-A' (Figure 2), which contains previously reported holes TSDH-68

and TSDH-70, TSDH-75 extends the geological picture to a deeper and more distal position and

provides additional control for refining continuity in this part of the deposit. This hole confirms that

porphyry-style mineralization persists at depth and adds useful control for interpreting continuity within the

broader mineralized system.

TSDH-79 Constrains the Southeastern Margin

TSDH-79 intersected 22 m grading 0.3 g/t Au from 18 m and 10 m grading 0.2 g/t Au from 52 m (Figure

4). The hole was drilled southeast of TSDH-72, TSDH-73, and TSDH-74 to follow up on a south-

southeast trend previously identified in TSDH-72 and to test toward the coincident surface molybdenum

anomaly in that direction. TSDH-79 provided the first direct drill test of the south-southeast trend and the

surface molybdenum anomaly. While the hole did not intercept the main potassic core, it encountered

late-stage diorite intrusions and hydrothermal alteration within the sedimentary sequence. This confirms

a broad hydrothermal footprint extends to the southeast and provides key structural data for ongoing

targeting in this emerging corridor.

Mineral Resources and Technical Report

A report titled

Quinchía Gold Project NI 43-101 Technical Report & Preliminary Economic

Assessment, Department of Risaralda, Colombia

(effective September 18, 2025) (the "Technical

Report") was filed on SEDAR+ on December 10, 2025. The Technical Report also supports the

disclosure of Mineral Resource estimates for the Miraflores and Tesorito deposits with an effective date

of July 31, 2025. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic

viability.

Sampling, Quality Assurance and Quality Control

All drill core is logged by a Company geologist, photographed, and cut in half at the Company's core

facility in Quinchía, Colombia. 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 or North Vancouver,

British Columbia for analysis. The remaining half-core (or quarter-core if a duplicate sample was taken)

is retained onsite as a witness sample. ALS' Medellín, Lima, and North Vancouver 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 QA/QC

practices, certified reference materials, coarse blanks, and quarter-core duplicates are inserted into the

sample stream to monitor analytical performance. Collar coordinates are preliminary and were recorded

in the field using handheld GPS with elevation derived from a 2025 airborne LiDAR survey. Drill core

was orientated, and downhole orientation surveys were collected at regular intervals. Only results that

meet Tiger's QA/QC protocols are reported.
