Paramount Gold and Silver (PZG-T) March 17, '15 announced today it will hold a special meeting of its stockholders in connection with the previously announced proposed transaction with Coeur Mining, Inc. ("Coeur") (NYSE:CDE) on April 17, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, at The Westin Hotel, 321 North Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. At the special meeting, the Company's stockholders will meet to consider and vote on the acquisition of Paramount by Coeur and related proposals.

Paramount stockholders of record at the close of business on February 24, 2015 will be entitled to receive notice of the special meeting and to vote at the special meeting. The Notice of Meeting and Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be mailed to Paramount stockholders forthwith.

Spin-Off

As previously announced on December 17, 2014, in connection with the proposed transaction, Coeur will acquire Paramount following the spin-off by Paramount of its Nevada subsidiary (the "distribution" and, together with the merger, the "Transactions"). This Nevada subsidiary is called Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. and will continue to hold Paramount's current Nevada assets including the Sleeper Gold Project. Paramount Gold Nevada will have US$10 million in cash (less transaction expenses) and no debt at the time of the distribution.

The merger will not occur unless the distribution has been completed, and the distribution will not occur unless the acquisition is expected to occur immediately thereafter. If Paramount stockholders or Coeur stockholders do not approve the acquisition proposal or if the other conditions to the acquisition are not expected to be satisfied or waived, Paramount will not be required to complete the distribution.

The Transactions are expected to close on April 17, 2015, subject to the approval of the stockholders of Paramount and Coeur, as applicable, and other customary closing conditions as set forth in the merger agreement.

Spin-Off Stock Market Listing

Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. has now received from the NYSE MKT clearance to apply for listing of its common stock for trading on the NYSE MKT post closing of the Transactions.

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. has been engaged as financial advisor to Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. in this regard.

Spin-Off Record Date

The record date and the distribution ratio for the distribution by Paramount of common stock of Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. to Paramount stockholders will be determined and announced at a future date. Approval by Paramount stockholders for the distribution is not required.

Mexican Government Approval

The Mexican Federal Economic Competition Commission recently provided its authorization to proceed with the acquisition of Paramount by Coeur.

About Paramount

Paramount is a U.S.-based exploration and development company with multi-million ounce advanced stage precious metals projects in northern Mexico (San Miguel) and Nevada (Sleeper).

The San Miguel Project consists of over 100,000 hectares (over 247,000 acres) in the Palmarejo District of northwest Mexico, making Paramount the largest claim holder in this rapidly growing precious metals mining camp. The San Miguel Project is ideally situated near established, low cost production where the infrastructure already exists for early, cost-effective exploitation. The San Miguel Project does not contain any known reserves and any planned drilling program is exploratory in nature.

The Sleeper Gold Project is located off a main highway about 25 miles from the town of Winnemucca. In 2010, Paramount acquired a 100% interest in the project including the original Sleeper high-grade open pit mine operated by Amax Gold from 1986 to 1996 as well as staked and purchased lands now totaling 2,570 claims and covering about 47,500 acres stretch south down trend to Newmont's Sandman project. This acquisition is consistent with the Company's strategy of district-scale exploration near infrastructure in established mining camps. The Sleeper Gold Project does not contain any known reserves and any planned drilling program is exploratory in nature.
