What Is Tezos (XTZ)?   Tezos is a high-performing blockchain and open-source platform for assets and applications, with a strong focus on code security, on-chain governance, and decentralization. Tezos 2.0, the upcoming step in the evolution of Tezos, aims to improve scalability (via layer 2s), composability, and to implement support to mainstream programming languages (like Javascript, Typescript, Python, and many others).   Initially built with formal verification in mind, the Tezos protocol enables builders to avoid bugs when developing smart contracts, making it particularly suited to applications that require a high degree of security and certainty.   Tezos’ LPoS (Liquid Proof-of-Stake) consensus mechanism enables any stakeholder to take part, directly or by delegation, in the consensus process, and to be rewarded for securing the network. Rather uniquely, Tezos’ on-chain governance system also enables stakeholders to create and vote on protocol upgrade proposals. This pioneering system allows the protocol to self-amend and upgrade itself without leading to a split (or fork) in the blockchain, empowering the community without slowing down innovation.   First proposed in 2014 and launched in 2018, the Tezos Mainnet has a proven track record of running uninterrupted ever since, having earned a strong reputation for technical excellence and a supportive community.    Who Are the Founders of Tezos? Tezos was conceived by Arthur and Kathleen Breitman in a 2014 white paper under the pseudonym L.M. Goodman in a nod to Satoshi Nakamoto, referencing a journalist who had misidentified the creator of Bitcoin.   In a previous paper, the Breitmans had argued that Bitcoin's biggest shortcomings were the lack of a governance process that invited contributions from its community of users, cost and centralization issues raised by its proof-of-work system, the limited expressiveness of its programming language which didn’t allow for smart contracts, and security

Tezos

Sharp, volatile price moves are driving attention, with traders debating whether XTZ is forming a bottom and rebounding or continuing its prolonged decline. Bullish posts cite staking rewards, a potential altcoin cycle and technical support, while bearish traders point to dilution, repeated failed pumps and further downside risk.

Dash

Renewed interest in privacy coins, particularly Zcash and Monero, is driving attention to Dash as traders speculate it could follow their recent strength. The debate centers on Dashs scarce supply and potential catch-up momentum versus concerns that the move is largely speculative, overbought, or vulnerable to a pullback.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is a decentralized, community-led cryptocurrency ecosystem built on the Ethereum blockchain. Originally launched as a meme-based project, it has evolved into a comprehensive financial ecosystem designed to offer a decentralized alternative to traditional banking. Its main value proposition lies in its transition from a social phenomenon into a functional utility network, supported by a vast global community known as the ShibArmy and a commitment to 100% community ownership with no central leadership.  The ecosystem features its own decentralized exchange, ShibaSwap, where users can trade, provide liquidity, and earn rewards. To address Ethereum’s high costs and slow speeds, the project utilizes Shibarium, a Layer 2 scaling solution that processes transactions faster and more affordably.  The project employs a unique three-token model to manage its economy and governance. SHIB serves as the primary currency for trading and payments, while LEASH offers scarcity-based incentives for dedicated supporters. BONE acts as the governance token, allowing holders to vote on proposals through the Doggy DAO and serving as the native gas token for the Shibarium network.

Shiba Inu

Renewed speculative meme-coin momentum and increased trading activity are driving attention around SHIB, with traders citing technical rebounds, broader crypto strength, and possible short covering. The community is divided between holders expecting another breakout and skeptics who point to prolonged consolidation, abundant supply, and the lack of a meaningful, sustained burn rate.

Paramount Gold Announces Positive Initial Assessment of the Sleeper Gold Project

After-Tax NPV of $402M and IRR of 45% ($3,600/oz gold)
After-Tax NPV of $867M and IRR of 66% ($4,700/oz gold)
  
WINNEMUCCA, Nev., June  17, 2026  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (NYSE American: PZG) (“Paramount” or the “Company”) announced today the results of an Initial Assessment prepared in accordance with S-K 1300 (the “Assessment” or “Study”) for its 100%-owned Sleeper Gold Project (“Sleeper” or the “Project”), a past-producing gold mine located in Humboldt County, Nevada. All figures are in U.S. Dollars.  
  
The Assessment evaluates the potential restart of the historic Sleeper Mine through the processing of existing waste rock dumps and mining of in situ oxide and mixed Mineral Resources utilizing conventional open-pit mining and a 30,000 tonne per day crush-agglomerate-heap-leach processing facility with Merrill-Crowe recovery.
  
The Project demonstrates strong economics, based on assumed metal prices of $3,600 per ounce gold and $48 per ounce silver, including an after-tax net present value (NPV) at an 8% discount rate of $402 million, an after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 44%, and a payback period of approximately 1.4 years.  
  
The Assessment includes sensitivity analysis to higher commodity prices amongst other inputs. Assuming metal prices of $4,700 per ounce gold and $80 per ounce silver, the Project's after-tax NPV (8%) increases to $867 million, with an IRR of 66% and a payback period of 1.2 years.
  
Over a 17-year mine life, the Assessment projects average annual gold production of approximately 65,000 ounces and total payable gold production of approximately 1.1 million ounces.
  
The use of existing mineralized surface material and existing infrastructure contributes to the Project’s strong economics by reducing upfront capital requirements and leads to the expected, short payback period. Approximately 47 million tonnes of mineralized waste dump material containing approximately 420,000 recoverable ounces of gold are included in the mine plan, representing a significant, lower-cost source of early production and cash flow prior to initiation of open pit mining. The economic analysis considers only oxide and mixed mineralized material amenable to heap leaching, and does not include sulfide mineralization, which will be evaluated in subsequent studies.
  
Rachel Goldman, Chief Executive Officer of Paramount, stated:
  
“The Sleeper Initial Assessment outlines an exciting restart opportunity, with strong projected returns, a short payback period and a 17-year mine life. In the first five years alone, the Project has a very low strip ratio of 0.74:1 and is expected to produce approximately 348,000 ounces of gold and 1.33 million ounces of silver, generating after-tax cash flow of approximately $514 million in the Base Case and $826 million in the Upside Case.
  
Building on these results, Sleeper offers further excellent optionality. The Project can advance toward a production restart, while additional surface materials not yet included in this Assessment will be evaluated for inclusion in future study updates. There exists meaningful potential to convert additional resource ounces and expand the surface sources of heap-leachable inventory. The longer we can extend that phase of operations, the stronger the overall project economics become.
  
Additionally, with no significant exploration conducted at Sleeper in over two decades, we see substantial upside through a focused exploration program across our large land position.
  
The Study reinforces our view that Sleeper is well positioned for redevelopment and has the potential to become an important producing asset for Paramount. We look forward to updating these results as we continue to advance the Project.”
  
The following table summarizes key metrics from the Assessment, including an upside case at higher metal prices.

​​​​​​NOTES:
† Production and capital cost metrics are unchanged across both price cases.
* Cash costs consist of mining costs, dewatering costs, processing costs, mine-level G&A, refining charges and royalties, net of by-product credits.
** AISC includes cash costs plus sustaining capital and closure costs, net of silver by-product credits, at the project level. Corporate G&A is not included. The reported AISC reflects the benefit of low-cost ounces already stacked on the existing heap leach pads, which require minimal additional spending to recover. As these legacy ounces are depleted and replaced with newly mined material, unit costs are expected to gradually normalize toward long-term levels.
  
The following table compares the Project’s economics over the first five years of operations to the full 17-year mine life. Over the life of the mine, the Project is expected to produce approximately 1.10 million ounces of gold and 3.38 million ounces of silver, generating cumulative after-tax cash flow of approximately $918 million in the Base Case and $1.93 billion in the Upside Case.

MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE (METRIC)
  
The Mineral Resource estimate presented below reflects updated geological interpretations, revised economic parameters, and updated metallurgical recovery assumptions. The estimate includes in situ oxide, mixed and sulfide mineralization, as well as surface material contained in waste rock dumps, heap leach pads, and the tailings storage facility, which is classified as Inferred. The Project hosts 1.99 million ounces of gold in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources and an additional 2.30 million ounces of gold in Inferred Mineral Resources, compared to 1.90 million ounces and 1.21 million ounces, respectively, in the 2023 Mineral Resource estimate. This represents an increase of approximately 5% in Measured and Indicated Resources and 90% in Inferred Resources, significantly expanding the Project's resource base and future growth potential.

NOTES:
  
The definitions for Mineral Resources in S-K 1300 were followed for Mineral Resources
The Mineral Resource estimate is reported on a 100% ownership basis.
The point of reference for the Mineral Resource is before the crusher (in situ).
Open Pit Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade ranging from 0.074 g/t to 0.217 g/t Au, depending on area and constrained by a preliminary optimized pit shell with a pit slope angle of 45° for rock and 22° for alluvium and a bench height of 10 m.
The optimized pit shell and cut-off grades were generated by assuming metallurgical gold recovery ranging from 63.7% to 85.0% and silver recoveries ranging from 0.0% to 54.6%, standard treatment and refining charges, mining costs of $2.40/t moved for open pit, processing costs of $5.51/t oxide/mixed and $10.44 sulfide processed, and general and administrative costs of $0.46/t processed
Minimal mining width was 60 m for oxide/mixed material and 20m for sulfide material
Mineral Resources are estimated using a long-term gold price of $3,100 per ounce
Bulk density ranges from 1.5 t/m3 in the tailings storage area to 2.7 t/m3 for in situ material
Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Numbers may not add due to rounding.
  
The Sleeper Mine produced approximately 1.66 million ounces of gold and 2.3 million ounces of silver between 1986 and 1996 and benefits from existing infrastructure, established site access, extensive historical operating data, and a large land position in one of the world's premier mining jurisdictions.
  
RECOMMENDED ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM
  
The Assessment recommends an $8.7 million advancement program designed to improve resource confidence classifications, enhance metallurgical and geotechnical confidence, complete environmental baseline studies, advance permitting activities, optimize heap-leach design through engineering studies, and support the completion of a pre-feasibility study.
  
In parallel, the Company plans to initiate permitting for infill drilling targeting surface material, which includes the historic heap leach pads and tailings storage facility at Sleeper. This work will support future resource updates and contribute to subsequent pre-feasibility or feasibility studies. Permitting is expected to be straightforward and timely, as the proposed activities fall within the scope of the existing Plan of Operations.
  
The updated S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary for the Sleeper Gold Project will be available on the Company’s website and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K. The report will also be included in the Company’s next Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Historical Gold Projects Could Hold the Sector’s Best Risk-Reward Opportunities

For decades, some of the most overlooked opportunities in gold exploration were not hidden beneath untouched wilderness, but buried inside old datasets, fragmented drilling records, and mining districts abandoned before modern structural modeling, geophysics, and metallurgy transformed how deposits are understood. In a gold market where financing conditions favor projects with scale, infrastructure, and realistic development pathways, historical districts with proven mineralization have moved from afterthought to acquisition target.Provenance Gold Corp.

Paramount Gold Commences Initial Assessment of Sleeper Gold Project in Nevada

Advancing Evaluation of Potential Development Options
WINNEMUCCA, Nev., April  09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (NYSE American: PZG) (“Paramount” or the “Company”) announced today that it has commenced an Initial Assessment (“IA”) under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) S-K 1300, for its 100%-owned Sleeper Gold Project (“Sleeper”), a past-producing high-grade gold mine located in Humboldt County, northern Nevada.
  
The IA will be prepared in accordance with applicable U.S. regulatory standards and will evaluate the project’s economic potential.
  
The assessment is intended to examine a potentially lower-cost, staged development approach focused on heap-leachable material only, including approximately 54 million tons of material of economic interest. This includes surface material from previously unevaluated waste dumps, as well as oxide and mixed in-situ mineralization amenable to heap leaching. This approach has the potential to support an accelerated path to cash flow and enhance overall project economics, building on prior assessments that focused primarily on in-situ resources. It is also expected to contribute to development planning and the evaluation of potential future expansion opportunities.
  
Rachel Goldman, Chief Executive Officer of Paramount, stated:
  
“Following our internal review, we believe substantial historic data supports an initial assessment of a heap-leach-only operation at Sleeper, and we are now progressing the evaluation of development options. Sleeper is a large, past-producing asset in a well-established mining jurisdiction with existing infrastructure, and in the current gold price environment, we see a compelling opportunity to unlock value. Focusing on the oxidized and transitional material is a logical first step to define the project’s development potential and guide the next phase of work.
  
At the same time, we continue to advance our Grassy Mountain Project through final permitting and feasibility activities, positioning the Company with two meaningful projects moving forward.”
  
Paramount has engaged SLR International Corporation (“SLR”) to conduct the study. SLR is currently active on-site through its ongoing monitoring and reclamation programs and will leverage its recent acquisition of Forte Dynamics to incorporate enhanced leach kinetics expertise into the assessment. SLR is a qualified person within the meaning of Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K.
  
In parallel, the Company plans to initiate permitting for infill drilling targeting surface material at Sleeper, which could support future resource updates and contribute to subsequent pre-feasibility or feasibility studies. Permitting is expected to be straightforward and timely, as the proposed activities fall within the scope of the existing Plan of Operations.
  
Completion of the Initial Assessment is expected in late Q2 2026, representing a key milestone in the Company’s evaluation of development options at Sleeper.
