Tiger Gold Mobilizes for Drilling at Ceibal Target at Quinchía Gold Project Ready to Announce with Confidence?

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 17, 2026) - Tiger Gold Corp. (TSXV: TIGR) (FSE: D150) (OTCQB: TGRGF) ("Tiger" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the mobilization of a diamond drill rig for an initial 1,500-metre program at the high-priority Ceibal target area on its Quinchía Gold Project in central Colombia in the prolific Mid-Cauca gold belt of central Colombia. Drilling at Ceibal forms part of Tiger's broader initial 10,000-metre Phase 1 drill program, with three diamond drill rigs active across the project.

Prior drilling at Ceibal highlights the potential scale of a significant the porphyry-style gold system. Between 2021 and 2022, a prior operator completed 8 HQ- and NQ-diameter diamond drillholes totalling 5,433.76 metres at the Ceibal target area across two programs. The programs reported long intersections of porphyry-style gold mineralisation in multiple holes, as summarized in Table 1, with select highlights including:

Robert Vallis, President & CEO, commented, "Located approximately 1 kilometre south of the Miraflores deposit and 1 kilometre southwest of the Tesorito deposit, Ceibal is a top priority target for Tiger. Past drilling returned multiple long gold intersections, including two intervals of 500 metres or more grading 0.5 g/t Au, underscoring the potential scale of the system. Our Phase 1 program is intended to test continuity and refine the geological framework needed to support larger follow-up drilling aimed at advancing Ceibal towards a Mineral Resource. With three rigs now active across Quinchía, we are well positioned to advance Ceibal in parallel with Tesorito and Dos Quebradas and to deliver regular news flow as results are received."

The Ceibal target area (Figure 1) is located approximately 1 kilometre south of the Miraflores deposit and approximately 1 km southwest of the Tesorito deposit and is coincident with a near-circular Au-Cu-Mo surface geochemical anomaly with an approximate footprint of 800 metres by 600 metres. Ceibal shares key similarities with Tesorito, including being located within the broader Marmato Fault Corridor, a surface geochemical anomaly that is broadly comparable in size and tenor, and porphyry-style mineralization hosted in andesite. For reference, the Tesorito deposit hosts an open-pit Inferred Mineral Resource of 104 million tonnes at 0.47 g/t Au for 1.57 million ounces of gold, and 0.58 g/t Ag for 1.96 million ounces of silver.

Drilling at Ceibal has delineated at least 300 metres of mineralised andesite along a corridor that remains open to the north-northwest (Figure 2). Based upon the current interpretation, this corridor is defined by drilling in six holes, CEDDH-001 through CEDDH-006. The full extent, width, and orientation of this mineralised corridor has not yet been established, and refining that interpretation is a key objective of the Phase 1 program. Mineralisation is associated with QM- and M-type veining and chlorite-sericite overprinting, with subordinate potassic alteration. Sulphides commonly include pyrite, with lesser chalcopyrite and molybdenite, and magnetite is ubiquitous. The causative intrusive porphyry has not yet been intersected.

Tiger Gold's Phase 1 drilling is intended to build upon this work by systematically testing the north-northwest-trending corridor and assessing continuity at depth. Given the early-stage nature of the current interpretation, the objectives are to evaluate the overall scale of mineralisation and refine the geological interpretation and framework ahead of a larger Phase 2 drill program intended to support future resource definition drilling.
