Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (NYSE:PZG) ("Paramount" or the "Company") is delighted to announce the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (‘BLM') has advised the company that following recent changes to NEPA (https://ceq.doe.gov/laws-regulations/regulations.html), the draft Environmental Impact Statement (‘DEIS') is now expected to be published in early August 2025. With the publication of the DEIS, an updated schedule will be posted on the BLM's permitting dashboard at e-planning and FAST-41. Following a public comment period, the final EIS and Record of Decision (‘ROD') are now expected to be published concurrently in December 2025.

Paramount CEO and director, Rachel Goldman stated, "From the time that Grassy Mountain was added to the Federal Government's FAST-41 transparency list we have received tremendous support from the dedicated and talented individuals at the BLM in Oregon who have helped facilitate the accelerated pathway for the EIS, all while maintaining their standards of environmental review and oversight."

As described in a press release issued by The White House on May 2, 2025: "Inclusion on the Permitting Dashboard as a transparency project makes the environmental review and authorizations schedule for these vital mineral production projects publicly available and allows all of these projects to benefit from increased transparency. The public nature of the dashboard ensures that all stakeholders, from project sponsors and community members to federal agency leaders have up-to-date accounting of where each project stands in the review process."
