Tiger Gold Accelerates Drilling at Ceibal and Increases Initial Drill Program to 5,000 Metres<\/h1>\n

Vancouver, British Columbia \u2014 (Newsfile Corp. \u2014 April 14, 2026)<\/p>\n\n \n

Tiger Gold Corp.<\/strong> (TSXV: TIGR) (FSE: D150) (OTCQB: TGRGF) (“Tiger”<\/strong> or the “Company”<\/strong>) is pleased to announce that drilling is now underway with two rigs at the high-priority Ceibal target area<\/strong> on its Quinch\u00eda Gold Project<\/strong>. The Company has expanded the planned initial exploration program from 1,500 metres to 5,000 metres<\/strong>. Drilling at Ceibal forms part of Tiger’s broader 20,000-metre drill program<\/strong> at Quinch\u00eda, located in the prolific Mid-Cauca belt of Colombia.<\/p>\n\n \n

\n

“Ceibal represents an exciting opportunity for Tiger with the potential to materially expand the existing resource base at Quinch\u00eda. Drilling is now underway at Ceibal with two rigs, and we have expanded the planned program from 1,500 to 5,000 metres. The planned drilling is intended to establish an initial section across the mineralised corridor, followed by step-out holes along the corridor to test its extent. A single 1,200-metre hole is also planned to test the system below surface and gather vectoring information toward the causative porphyry. Prior drilling at Ceibal returned long intersections of porphyry-style mineralisation in multiple holes, including two intervals of 500 metres or more grading 0.5 g\/t Au, and we believe Ceibal has the potential to support follow-up drilling directed toward future Mineral Resource definition. With three rigs operating across Quinch\u00eda, we are well positioned to continue advancing Ceibal alongside our other drilling priorities, including Tesorito and Dos Quebradas.”<\/p>\n

Ceibal Target Area Overview<\/h2>\n

The Ceibal target area is located approximately 1 kilometre south of the Miraflores deposit<\/strong> and 1 kilometre southwest of the Tesorito deposit<\/strong>, and is coincident with a sub-circular Au-Cu-Mo surface geochemical anomaly with an approximate footprint of 800 metres \u00d7 600 metres<\/strong>. Ceibal shares key similarities with Tesorito, including its location within the broader Marmato Fault Corridor, a surface geochemical anomaly broadly comparable in size and tenor, and porphyry-style mineralisation hosted in andesite.<\/p>\n\n \n

Prior Drilling at Ceibal<\/h2>\n

Prior drilling at Ceibal highlighted the potential scale of a significant porphyry-style gold system. Between 2021 and 2022, a prior operator completed 8 HQ- and NQ-diameter diamond drillholes totalling 5,433.76 metres<\/strong> across two programs. Select highlights include:<\/p>\n\n \n

Drilling at Ceibal has delineated at least 300 metres of mineralised andesite and basalt<\/strong> along a corridor that remains open to the north-northwest, south-southeast, and to the southwest. This corridor is defined by six holes (CEDDH-001 through CEDDH-006). The full extent, width, and orientation of this mineralised corridor have not yet been established \u2014 refining that interpretation is a key objective of the initial program.<\/p>\n

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, or feeder zone, has not yet been intersected.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n \n

Expanded 5,000-Metre Drill Program<\/h2>\n

Tiger’s expanded 5,000-metre initial drill program at Ceibal is intended to build upon prior drilling by systematically testing the apparent north-northwest-trending mineralised corridor and assessing continuity at depth. The use of two drill rigs and the increased program size is intended to accelerate data collection at this early stage, with the objectives of:<\/p>\n
