Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 19, 2026) - Tiger Gold Corp. (TSXV: TIGR) (FSE: D150) (OTCQB: TGRGF) ("Tiger" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into an engagement letter with SCP Resource Finance LP ("SCP"), on behalf of itself and a syndicate of agents (together, the "Agents"), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell, on a commercially reasonable efforts private placement basis, up to 18,292,683 special warrants ("Special Warrants") of the Company at a price of C$0.82 per Special Warrant (the "Issue Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$15,000,000 (the "Offering") to accelerate drilling at the Company's Ceibal target with a goal of completing a Maiden Resource at Ceibal by the end of the year.

Strategic Rationale

The technical case at Ceibal has advanced over the past several months. Historical drilling at Ceibal returned long, near-surface intersections of porphyry-style gold mineralization across multiple holes (including 500 m at 0.5 g/t Au from surface in CEDDH-001 and 579.1 m at 0.5 g/t Au from 7.5 m downhole in CEDDH-002). Tiger's subsequent field work, geological re-interpretation, and the recent step-out result in CEDDH-009 have collectively reinforced management's view that Ceibal hosts the potential for a large, near-surface gold system with a size and scale not yet fully understood, but still open in all directions. The Ceibal target is located approximately 1 kilometre south of the Miraflores deposit and 1 kilometre southwest of the Tesorito deposit, within the Marmato Fault Corridor. The target is coincident with a sub-circular Au-Cu-Mo surface geochemical anomaly with an approximate footprint of 800 metres by 600 metres. The Offering is intended to accelerate our drilling through the summer, ahead of a targeted Maiden Mineral Resource estimate at Ceibal by year-end which is not part of the Company's existing 20,000m drill program.

More specifically, the Company anticipates that the net proceeds of the Offering will be deployed across the following priorities:

• Accelerated drilling at Ceibal: Funding additional diamond drilling at the Ceibal target through the 2026 field season - including systematic step-out and depth-extension drilling along the apparent north-northwest-trending mineralized corridor with the objective of generating the dataset required to support a Maiden Mineral Resource estimate at Ceibal by year-end 2026.

• Vectoring toward the causative porphyry: Funding deeper drilling at Ceibal at Tesorito designed to test the system at depth and gather vectoring information toward the interpreted causative porphyry.

• Advancing other high-priority targets at Quinchía: Continued exploration and drilling at Chuscal, and additional prospects across the Quinchía Gold Project, including target generation work supported by geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets.

• Complete infill drilling at Tesorito and general corporate and working capital: Infill drilling at Tesorito, corporate, regulatory, and listing-related expenses, and general working capital.

Financing Structure

Each Special Warrant, subject to the Penalty Provision (as defined below), shall be automatically exercised (without payment of any further consideration and subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments) into units of the Company (the "Units"), with each Unit consisting of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a "Warrant") on the date that is the earlier of: (i) the date that is three business days following the date on which the Company obtains a receipt (the "Final Receipt") from the British Columbia Securities Commission for a short form prospectus (the "Qualification Prospectus"), qualifying the distribution of the securities issuable upon exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants; and (ii) the date that is four months and one day following the Closing Date (as defined below) (the "Qualification Deadline"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at a price per Warrant Share of C$1.20 for a period of 36 months following the Closing Date. The Offering is expected to close on or about June 10, 2026 (the "Closing Date").

The Company has granted the Agents an option, exercisable in whole or in part upon the Agents giving notice to the Company at any time up to 48 hours prior to the Closing Date, to sell up to an additional 2,743,903 Special Warrants at the Issue Price for additional gross proceeds to the Company of up to C$2,250,000 (the "Over-Allotment Option").

The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a preliminary short form prospectus in the Qualifying Jurisdictions (as defined below) where the Special Warrants were sold, qualifying the distribution of the Units, within three (3) business days after the Closing Date. The Company has agreed to promptly resolve all comments received or deficiencies raised by the securities regulatory authorities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Final Receipt for the Qualification Prospectus as soon as possible after such regulatory comments and deficiencies have been resolved, and in any event, within 45 days following the Closing Date. In the event the Final Receipt is not received for the Qualification Prospectus on or before the Qualification Deadline, each Special Warrant and Compensation SW (as defined below) shall be automatically exercised and will entitle the holder to receive 1.1 Units, or Compensation Options (as defined below), as applicable (the "Penalty Provision").

Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus and Registration Exemptions, the Special Warrants will be offered for sale on a commercially reasonable efforts agency basis to eligible purchasers resident in each of the provinces and territories of Canada other than Quebec (the "Qualifying Jurisdictions") and/or in jurisdictions outside of Canada that are mutually agreed to by the Company and SCP, provided that no prospectus filing, registration statement or comparable obligation arises and the Company does not thereafter become subject to continuous disclosure obligations in such jurisdictions.

Tiger will pay the Agents a cash commission in an amount equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Special Warrants under the Offering (including, for certainty, any Special Warrants issued in connection with the Over-Allotment Option) and the number of compensation special warrants (the "Compensation SWs") equal to 2% of the aggregate number of Special Warrants issued by the Company under the Offering. Each Compensation SW may be exercised by the Agents for one compensation option of the Company (a "Compensation Option") entitling the Agents to purchase one common share of the Company (the "Compensation Shares") at an exercise price per Compensation Share that is equal to the Issue Price. Each of the Compensation SWs and the Compensation Options shall each have a term of 36 months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that Special Warrants sold to purchasers under a "president's list" to be provided by the Company to the Agents (the "President's List"), up to a maximum of C$5,000,000 in gross proceeds, will be subject to a reduced Cash Commission equal to 2% of the gross proceeds from such sale. The completion of the Offering remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful, including any of the securities in the United States of America. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) unless registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.

The allocation of net proceeds described above represents the Company's current intentions based upon present circumstances and anticipated exploration results. Actual expenditures may vary from these estimates, and the Company may reallocate funds among categories, or to other uses, as management deems appropriate based on drill results, evolving exploration priorities, prevailing market conditions, and other factors. Drilling, exploration, and resource definition activities are subject to a number of risks, and there is no assurance that drilling at Ceibal will support the definition of a Maiden Mineral Resource within the timeframe described in this news release, or at all.
