Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable Canadian securities laws, and as a result we report our mineral reserves and mineral resources according to two different standards. U.S. reporting requirements, for disclosure of mineral properties, are governed by Item 1300 of Regulation S-K ("S-K 1300"), as issued by the SEC. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), as adopted from the definitions provided by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. Both sets of reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but the standards embody slightly different approaches and definitions.

In our public filings in the U.S. and Canada and in certain other announcements not filed with the SEC, we disclose proven and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred resources, each as defined in S-K 1300. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves, and therefore investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into S-K 1300-compliant reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources, and therefore it cannot be assumed that all or any part of inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically.

Overview

We are engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing precious metal projects in the United States. Paramount owns advanced stage exploration projects in the states of Nevada and Oregon. We seek to enhance the value of our projects by implementing exploration and engineering programs designed to expand and upgrade known mineralized material to reserves. The following discussion provides an update on our outlook and plan of operations for the foreseeable future. It also analyzes our financial condition and summarizes the results of our operations for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and compares these results to the results of the prior year three months ended September 30, 2025.

Operating Highlights:

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, key highlights include:

Outlook and Plan of Operation:

As a development stage company, we do not generate cash flow from our operations. Accordingly, we place a strong emphasis on liquidity management and capital allocation. We carefully monitor cash expenditures and seek opportunities to reduce costs where appropriate. We ensure that we maintain sufficient cash on hand for our loan covenants and to meet our annual land holding costs as the maintenance of mining claims and leases is essential to preserving the value of our mineral property assets.

Comparison of Operating Results for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025

We did not earn any revenue from mining operations for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Net Loss

Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $4,562,549 compared to a net loss of $4,324,338 in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The drivers of the increase in net loss of 6% are fully described below.

The Company expects to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we continue with our planned exploration and development programs.

Expenses

Exploration, Development, Reclamation and Land Holding Costs

For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, exploration expenses were $747,510 and $566,096, respectively. This represents an increase of 32% or $181,414. Expenses related to our exploration or development activities are generally not comparable from period to period as activities will vary based on several factors. At Grassy Mountain, the Company continued with on-going permitting activities with state and federal agencies and qualified persons continued with the update of our S-K -1300 feasibility study. These expenses totaled $623,554. At Sleeper, expenses of $123,956 were related to general operations and preparing for the planned exploration drill program.

For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, reclamation expenses were $32,329 and $37,880, respectively. This represents a decrease of 15% or $5,551. The decrease in reclamation expenses reflects reduced third-party support for ongoing monitoring for the Sleeper Gold Project as the Company continues to look for ways to streamline how these costs are incurred; however, it is too early to conclude that this decrease represents a trend.

For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, land holding costs were $184,267 and $188,608, respectively. The relatively unchanged land holding costs from the prior period reflect the consistent number of mining claims held by the Company.

Salaries and Benefits

For the three month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, salary and benefits were $244,698 and $197,970, respectively. This represents an increase of 24%. Salary and benefits are comprised of cash and equity based compensation of the Company's executive and corporate administration teams. The increase is mainly due to the higher stock based compensation that was recorded in the current period from the comparable prior year period. Included in the salary and benefits expense amount for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was non-cash equity based compensation applicable to executive and administration employees of $47,760 and $17,730, respectively.

Directors' Compensation

For the three month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, directors' compensation expenses were $57,067 and $42,438, respectively. This represents an increase of 34%. Directors' compensation consists of cash and stock-based compensation of the Company's board of directors. The increase reflects higher equity based compensation recorded in the current quarter compared to the prior year's comparable period.

Professional Fees and General and Administration

For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, professional fees were $195,036 and $245,048, respectively. This represents a decrease of $50,012. The decrease was mainly due to one time advisory fees incurred in the prior period that were not incurred in the current comparable period. Professional fees include legal, audit, advisory and consultant expenses incurred on corporate and operational activities being performed by the Company on a period-by-period basis.

For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, general and administration expenses increased by $168,743 or 89% to $358,313 from $189,570 for the same period in 2025. The increase reflects approximately $91,000 of higher recurring costs, primarily investor relations, insurance and travel, which the Company expects to continue in future periods, and approximately $78,000 of non-recurring costs, primarily related to compliance and reporting.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As an exploration and development company, Paramount funds its operations, reclamation activities and discretionary exploration programs with its cash on hand. At September 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8,325,303 compared to $9,931,206 as of June 30, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, excluding the warrant liability of $3,180,611, we had working capital of approximately $8,868,777. Based on the Company's current operating plan, existing cash resources are expected to fund operations through approximately August 2027. The Company's planned expenditures primarily consist of corporate general and administrative costs

and expenditures related to the permitting and advancement of its mineral properties. Certain project expenditures including exploration, production development, engineering, technical studies and/or other project advancement activities, are discretionary as to timing and scope and may be reduced or deferred depending on available liquidity and the timing of additional financing. Our plan to manage our liquidity position is described below under Going Concern and Capital Resources.

In May 2020, the Company established an $8.0 million ATM equity offering program with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("Cantor") and Canaccord Genuity LLC to proactively increase its financial flexibility. In November 2025, the Company established a new $14.9 million "at the market" offering program with Cantor and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company issued 91,000 shares under the program for net proceeds of $86,115.

The main uses of cash for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were:

In addition to cash used in operating activities, the Company received cash during the three months ended September 30, 2026 as follows:

Going Concern and Capital Resources

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared on a "going concern" basis, which means that the continuation of the Company is presumed even though events and conditions exist that, when considered in aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern because it is possible that the Company will be required to adversely change its current business plan or may be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements were issued.

Paramount expects to continue to incur losses as a result of costs and expenses related to maintaining its properties and general and administrative expenses. Since 2015, the Company has relied on equity financings, debt financings and sale of royalties to fund its operations and the Company expects to rely on these forms of financing to fund operations into the near future.

Paramount's current business plan requires working capital to fund non-discretionary expenditures for its exploration and development activities on its mineral properties, mineral property holding costs and general and administrative expenses.

We anticipate our twelve-month cash expenditures to be as follows:

We anticipate our twelve-month cash discretionary exploration and development, subject to available cash on hand, as follows:

For any interest that accrues and is owing on the outstanding Debenture, the Company expects to elect to pay the quarterly-annual interest payment in shares of its Common Stock.

Subsequent to November 13, 2026, the Company expects to fund operations as follows:

Historically, we have been successful in accessing capital through equity and debt financing arrangements or by the sale of royalties on our mineral properties, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital or financing, our operations, exploration and development activities will be significantly adversely affected. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on having sufficient capital to maintain our operations. In considering our financing plans, our current working capital position and our ability to reduce operating expenses, the Company believes there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern twelve months after the date that our financial statements are issued.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management considers the following policies to be most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our financial statements are affected by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. Management believes the Company's critical accounting policies are those related to mineral property acquisition costs, exploration and development costs, asset retirement obligations, warrant liability accounting and derivative liability accounting.

Estimates

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements and notes in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to the adequacy of the Company's reclamation and environmental obligations, the assessment of impairment of mineral properties, and the fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Warrants

The fair value of the Company's pre-funded warrant liability is estimated based on the closing price of the Company's common stock at the reporting date, adjusted for a discount for lack of marketability ("DLOM") related to restrictions on the underlying shares. The determination of the DLOM requires judgment and changes in this assumption could materially affect the estimated fair value of the warrant liability.

Mineral property acquisition costs

The Company capitalizes the cost of acquiring mineral properties and will amortize these costs over the useful life of a property following the commencement of production or expense these costs if it is determined that the mineral property has reduced or no future economic value or the properties are sold or abandoned. Costs include cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts of the specific mineral property at the time the payments are made.

The amounts recorded as mineral properties reflect actual costs incurred to acquire the properties.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The fair value of the Company's asset retirement obligation ("ARO") is measured by discounting the expected cash flows using a discount factor that reflects the credit-adjusted risk free rate of interest, while taking into account the inflation rate. The Company prepares estimates of the timing and amounts of expected cash flows and ongoing reclamation expenditures are charged against the ARO as incurred to the extent they relate to the ARO. Significant judgments and estimates are made when estimating the fair value of ARO.

Convertible debt and derivative liabilities

We account for royalty convertible debenture with conversion features in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The embedded conversion features are assessed to determine whether they meet the criteria for separate accounting as derivatives. If so, they are bifurcated and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in our Statement of Operations and the remaining value allocated to the royalty convertible debenture net of the unamortized debt issuance costs. The determination of fair value involves the use of estimates, assumptions, and valuation models, including but not limited to discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. These estimates and assumptions may include, but are not limited to, future interest rates, volatility of gold and silver prices, and credit spreads and changes in these inputs could result in significant adjustments to the fair value of our derivatives and may impact our financial results. The fair value of the Company's derivative liability is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation, which incorporates assumptions that require management judgment. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value of the derivative liability.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.
