Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the Six-Month Periods Ended December 30, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (the “Company” or “Paramount”), incorporated under Chapter 78 of Nevada Revised Statutes, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of  precious metal properties. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries include New Sleeper Gold LLC, Sleeper Mining Company, LLC, and Calico Resources USA Corp (“Calico”).   The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties in Nevada and Oregon, United States. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the risk of failing to secure additional funding to advance its projects and the risks of determining whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable.  The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the NYSE American LLC under the symbol “PZG”.

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all the normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the interim financial information set forth herein have been included.  

The Company faces various risks related to the COVID-19 global pandemic.   The Company cannot at this time predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.  The results of operations for the interim period ended December 31, 2020 is not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the year ended June 30, 2021 or for any future period.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), are presented in US dollars and follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the most recent annual financial statements.   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.  The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended June 30, 2020.

Significant Accounting Policies

Please see Note 1- Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2020 10-K.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Guidance

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.  The changes will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020.  Among other things, these amendments require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company adoption of this guidance on July 1, 2020 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement.  These changes will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020.  The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted.  The Company adoption of this guidance on July 1, 2020 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Financial assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 are presented in the following table:

			Fair Value at December 31, 2020						June 30, 2020
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Cash and cash equivalents	$	3,498,093		3,498,093		—		—	$	5,434,081

The carrying values of accounts payable, promissory note and convertible debt (Note 6) approximate fair value as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

Stock Options and Stock Based Compensation

Paramount’s 2015 and 2016 Stock Incentive and Compensation Plans, which are stockholder-approved, permits the grant of stock options and stock to its employees for up to 2.169 million shares of common stock.  Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of Paramount’s stock at the date of grant and have contractual lives of 5 years.  To better align the interests of its key executives and employees with those of its stockholders, a significant portion of those stock option awards will vest contingent upon meeting certain stock price appreciation performance goals or other performance conditions. Option and stock awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the employee stock option plan).

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted  700,000 stock options to senior management, directors, employees and consultants, with a strike price of $1.12. Each option carries a 5 year term.  Options received by senior management and directors will vest and become exercisable on achieving the following conditions: 1) one-third immediately upon grant, 2) one-third on the first anniversary of the grant, and 3) one-third upon the receipt of federal and state mining permits at the Grassy Mountain Project.  Stock Options received by employees and consultants will vest and become exercisable as follows: 1) one-half immediately upon grant, and  2) one-half on the first anniversary of the grant. During the three-month period ended December

In September 2019, the Company completed a private offering of 5,478 Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“2019 Convertible Notes”) at $975 per $1,000 face amount due in 2023.  Each 2019 Convertible Note will bear an interest rate of 7.5% per annum, payable semi-annually.  The principal amount of the 2019 Convertible Notes will be convertible at a price of $1.00 per share of Paramount common stock.  Unamortized discount and issuance costs of $275,883 will be amortized as an additional interest expense over the four year term of the 2019 Convertible Notes.  During the six-month period ended December 31, 2020, the Company amortized $32,997 (2019- $20,029) of discount and issuance costs.  At any point after the second anniversary of the issuance of the convertible notes, Paramount may force conversion if the share price of its common stock remains above $1.75 for 20 consecutive trading days. The convertible notes are secured by a lien on all assets of the Company and the Company is required to maintain a working capital balance of $250,000.  

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2020, 351 of the 2019 Convertible Notes outstanding were converted into 350,609 shares of common stock of the Company (Note 5) and $12,826 of unamortized discount and issuance costs were debited to additional paid in capital to reflect the issued common stock.

During the six-month period ended December 31, 2020, 551 of the 2019 Convertible Notes outstanding were converted into 550,609 shares of common stock of the Company (Note 5) and $20,760 of unamortized discount and issuance costs were debited to additional paid in capital to reflect the issued common stock.

Note 7. Mineral Properties

The Company has capitalized acquisition costs on mineral properties as follows:

	December 31, 2020		June 30, 2020
Sleeper	$	24,147,585	$	24,147,585
Grassy Mountain		23,185,728		23,185,728
	$	47,333,313	$	47,333,313

Sleeper:

Sleeper is located in Humboldt County, Nevada, approximately 26 miles northwest of the town of Winnemucca.  The Sleeper Gold Mine consists of 2,322 unpatented mining claims totaling approximately 38,300 acres.

Grassy Mountain:

The Grassy Mountain Project is located in Malheur County, Oregon, approximately 22 miles south of Vale, Oregon, and roughly 70 miles west of Boise, Idaho. It consists of 442 unpatented lode claims, 3 patented lode claims, and various leased fee land surface and surface/mineral rights, all totaling approximately 9,300 acres.

Note 8. Reclamation and Environmental:

The Company has funds in a commutation account which is used to reimburse reclamation costs and indemnity claims at its Sleeper Gold Project. It also has provided financial security for future reclamation work in the form of reclamation bonds held by the U.S Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) for the Sleeper Gold Project and Grassy Mountain Project.  The balance of the commutation account and reclamation bonds at December 31, 2020 is $462,925 (June 30, 2020- $695,041).

The Company holds an insurance policy which is in effect until 2033 related to its Sleeper Gold Project.  The policy covers reclamation costs up to an aggregate of $25 million in the event the Company’s commutation account is insufficient to cover any mandated reclamation obligations.

10

Reclamation and environmental costs are based principally on legal requirements.  Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mineral properties and properties under mine closure.  On an ongoing basis the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, however, actual amounts could differ from those based on estimates and assumptions.  

The asset retirement obligation at the Sleeper Gold Project has been measured using the following variables: 1) Expected costs for earthwork, re-vegetation, in-pit water treatment, on-going monitoring, labor and management, 2) Inflation adjustment, and 3) Market risk premium.  The sum of the expected costs by year is discounted using the Company’s credit adjusted risk free interest rate from the time it expects to pay the retirement obligation to the time it incurs the obligation.  The reclamation and environmental obligation recorded on the balance sheet is equal to the present value of the estimated costs.

The current undiscounted estimate of the reclamation costs for existing disturbances at the Sleeper Gold Project is $4,010,403 as required by the BLM and the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection. Assumptions used to compute the asset retirement obligations as at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 for the Sleeper Gold Project included a credit adjusted risk free rate and inflation rate of 9.76% (June 30, 2020– 9.76%) and 1.6% (June 30, 2020 – 1.6%), respectively. Expenses are expected to be incurred between the years 2021 and 2049.

Changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the six-month period ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended June 30, 2020 are as follows:

	Six-Month Period Ended December 31, 2020			Year Ended June 30, 2020

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors

Paramount is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and this filing and other U.S. reporting requirements are governed by the SEC Industry Guide 7.  Additionally, Paramount is subject to certain reporting requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws with respect to our material mineral properties under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) We caution investors that certain terms used under Canadian reporting requirements and definitions of NI 43-101 to describe mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made.  Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the mineralized material contained at any of our material projects will ever be converted to Industry Guide 7 compliant reserves.

Overview

We are a company engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing precious metal projects in the United States of America. Paramount owns advanced stage exploration projects in the states of Nevada and Oregon.  We enhance the value of our projects by implementing exploration and engineering programs that have the goal to expand and upgrade known mineralized material to reserves.  The following discussion updates our outlook and plan of operations for the foreseeable future.  It also analyzes our financial condition and summarizes the results of our operations for the three and six-month period ended December 31, 2020 and compares these results to the results of the prior year three and six-month period ended December 31, 2019.

Operating Highlights:

During the six-month period ended December 31, 2020, the Company announced that the Oregon Water Resource Department (“OWRD”) had reviewed and approved the plans and specifications for the tailings dam proposed for the Grassy Mountain mine and stated that from a safety perspective the plans are construction ready.  The OWRD reviewed the data within the Consolidated Permit Application which Paramount submitted in November 2019 and which included all tailings design drawings, safety analysis, field data collected and laboratory testing. The OWRD and its engineering team are required to review and evaluate the data and design, classify the hazard level (high, significant, or low hazard rating) and evaluate readiness for construction from a dam safety perspective.  Considering the project’s remote geographic location, low population density, arid nature with no rivers or permanent streams in close proximity, seismic analysis and all other data compiled, OWRD has rated the dam as low hazard, its lowest risk level. The approval for construction is valid for 5 years with extensions possible on request.

In September 2020, we announced the results of a Canadian NI 43-101 Feasibility Study (“FS”) for our Grassy Mountain Project in Oregon. The FS was completed by a group of industry leading consulting firms led by Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc. (“Ausenco”) who managed the overall study and were responsible for processing and infrastructure design and oversaw metallurgical testing; Mine

13

Development Associates (“MDA”) who updated the mineral resource estimate and completed the mine planning and reserves estimation; Golder Associates designed the tailings storage facility and EM Strategies oversaw the environmental aspects of the FS.  

This mining scenario in the FS results in an average annual production of 47,000 ounces of gold and 55,000 ounces of silver for eight years. The metal prices used for the economic analysis includes $1,472 per ounce of gold sold and $16.96 per ounce of silver sold.  The life of mine average cash operating costs are estimated to be $583 per gold ounce including silver revenues as by product credit and the total initial capital requirements are estimated to be $97.5 million resulting in a net present value of $105 million using a 5% discount rate.  In October, 2020, we filed the completed FS on SEDAR as required by Canadian security laws.

Outlook and Plan of Operation:

We believe that investors will gain a better understanding of the Company if they understand how we measure and disclose our results.  As an exploration and development company, we do not generate cash flow from our operations. We recognize the importance of managing our liquidity and capital resources.  We pay close attention to all cash expenses and look for ways to minimize them when possible.  We ensure we have sufficient cash on hand to meet our annual land holding costs as the maintenance of mining claims and leases are essential to preserve the value of our mineral property assets.

As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020 the Company expects to undertake the following activities:

Grassy Mountain Project:

Paramount received the final Feasibility Study report from Ausenco during the three-month period ended December 31, 2020 and expects to focus its efforts on continued state and federal mining permitting for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.  As a follow up to submitting the Consolidated Permit Application (“CPA”) in November 2019, Paramount will respond to the State of Oregon’s CPA completeness review (“Review”) received in February 2019.  The Review provided requests for additional information required by the Company and its proposed resolutions will assist the Company in submitting a revised CPA.  The Company expects the revised CPA to address all the comments and requests for additional information with the objective of submitting a complete revised CPA that allows the State of Oregon to determine whether to issue a state mining permit for the Grassy Mountain Project.  In addition to the State of Oregon permitting activities, Paramount expects to respond to BLM comments it received on its Plan of Operation (“PoO”).  Once all the comments have been addressed and the PoO is deemed complete, the BLM will register a Notice in the Federal Register.  The Notice initiates the EIS process under the National Environmental Policy Act.   To complete these activities Paramount will engage specialized mining consulting firms, work with State and Federal contracted thirds parties and work directly with both state and federal permitting agencies.

Sleeper Gold Project:

Paramount is planning to initiate several programs during the upcoming fiscal year that it believes will enhance the value of the Sleeper Gold Project.  The programs planned include:  1) a review of all geological, geochemical and geophysical data for the purposes of generating targets for exploration drilling to locate additional higher-grade mineralization in the close proximity of the original Sleeper pit or in the large mining claim package owned by the Company; (2) evaluate the various successful metallurgical tests, previously conducted on the sulfide bearing mineralized material in order to optimize the best economic alternatives and increase the number of gold ounces that could be produced in a proposed mining scenario.  (this could include bio or alkaline oxidation in a heap leach scenario, flotation and oxidation and gold recoveries from concentrates); and (3) update the resource estimation and preliminary economic assessment with the best alternatives identified for the project.

Frost Project:

The Company will implement an initial reverse circulation drill program to test historical drill results and additional selective targets.

COVID-19 Update

Paramount continues to monitor the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to evaluate its business activities and plans.   Our priority is to ensure the health and safety of our employee and consultants.  We continue to perform the majority of our activities remotely with a limited amount of on-site or in-office attendance only when required.   Video conferencing has replaced in-person participation in conferences, permitting and other corporate meeting and activities that typically required corporate travel.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

As an exploration and development company, Paramount funds its operations, reclamation activities and discretionary exploration programs with its cash on hand.  At December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,498,093 compared to $5,434,081 as at June 30, 2020.  In May 2020, the Company established an $8.0 million “at the market” equity offering program with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Canaccord Genuity LLC to proactively increase its financial flexibility.   During the three and six-months ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 132,500 and 727,781 shares for net proceeds of $131,660 and $897,356 under the program, respectively.

The main uses of cash for the six-month period ended December 31, 2020 comprised of the following material amounts:

• Cash used in operating activities which included general and administration expenses, land holding costs, exploration programs at our Grassy Mountain and Sleeper Gold Projects and reclamation activities of $2,833,344

We anticipate our operating expenditures for the remainder of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 to be as follows:  

• $0.9 million on corporate administration expenses (expenses include executive management and employee salaries, legal, audit, marketing and other general and administrative expenses)

• $0.75 million to $1 million on the Sleeper Gold Project (expenses include exploration programs, reclamation costs, employee salary and benefits, and land holding costs)

16

• $1.2 million on the Grassy Mountain Project and Frost Project (expenses include consulting fees, land holding costs and general and administration expenses, environmental impact statement preparation, and costs associated with the State of Oregon permit revised CPA)

Our anticipated expenditures will be funded by our cash on hand and by other capital resources.  Historically, we and other similar exploration and development public companies have accessed capital through equity financing arrangements or by the sale of royalties on its mineral properties.  If, however we are unable to obtain additional capital or financing, our exploration and development activities will be significantly adversely affected.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management considers the following policies to be most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our financial statements are affected by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies are those related to mineral property acquisition costs, exploration and development cost, stock-based compensation, derivative accounting and foreign currency translation.

Mineral property acquisition costs

The Company capitalizes the cost of acquiring mineral properties and will amortize these costs over the useful life of a property following the commencement of production or expense these costs if it is determined that the mineral property has no future economic value or the properties are sold or abandoned. Costs include cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts of the specific mineral property at the time the payments are made.

The amounts recorded as mineral properties reflect actual costs incurred to acquire the properties and do not indicate any present or future value of economically recoverable reserves.

Exploration expenses

We record exploration expenses as incurred. When we determine that a precious metal resource deposit can be economically and legally extracted or produced based on established proven and probable reserves, further exploration expenses related to such reserves incurred after such a determination will be capitalized. To date, we have not established any proven or probable reserves and will continue to expense exploration expenses as incurred.

Stock Based Compensation

For stock option grants with market conditions that affect vesting, the Company uses a lattice approach incorporating a Monte Carlo simulation to value stock option granted.

For stock option grants that have no market conditions that affect vesting, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options granted. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The model requires management to make estimates which are subjective and may not be representative of actual results. Changes in assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair values.

For stock option grants with performance conditions that affect vesting, the Company recognizes the compensation expense when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of achieving the performance condition at each reporting date.

Use of Estimates

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements and notes in conformity to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, long-lived assets and asset retirement obligations. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying value of assets and

liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company holds cash balances in both U.S. and Canadian dollars. We transact most of our business in US dollars. We do not manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk through the use of financial or derivative instruments, forward contracts or hedging activities.

In general, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar will positively impact our expenses transacted in Canadian dollars. Conversely, any weakening of the U.S dollar will increase our expenses transacted in Canadian dollars. We do not believe that any weakening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Canadian dollar will have an adverse material effect on our operations.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s investment policy for its cash and cash equivalents is focused on the preservation of capital and supporting the liquidity requirements of the Company. The Company’s interest earned on its cash balances is impacted on the fluctuations of U.S. interest rates. We do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. We do not believe that interest rate fluctuations will have any material effect on our operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The evaluation considered the procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 13d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(c) Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of its inherent limitations, disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation or effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (the “Company” or “Paramount”), incorporated under Chapter 78 of Nevada Revised Statutes, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of  precious metal properties. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries include New Sleeper Gold LLC, Sleeper Mining Company, LLC, and Calico Resources USA Corp (“Calico”).   The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties in Nevada and Oregon, United States. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the risk of failing to secure additional funding to advance its projects and the risks of determining whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable.  The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the NYSE American LLC under the symbol “PZG”.

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

Recent Accounting Guidance

Note 2. Recent Accounting Guidance

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.  The changes will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020.  Among other things, these amendments require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company adoption of this guidance on July 1, 2020 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement.  These changes will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020.  The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted.  The Company adoption of this guidance on July 1, 2020 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Financial assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 are presented in the following table:

			Fair Value at December 31, 2020						June 30, 2020
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Cash and cash equivalents	$	3,498,093		3,498,093		—		—	$	5,434,081

The carrying values of accounts payable, promissory note and convertible debt (Note 6) approximate fair value as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

Stock Options and Stock Based Compensation

Paramount’s 2015 and 2016 Stock Incentive and Compensation Plans, which are stockholder-approved, permits the grant of stock options and stock to its employees for up to 2.169 million shares of common stock.  Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of Paramount’s stock at the date of grant and have contractual lives of 5 years.  To better align the interests of its key executives and employees with those of its stockholders, a significant portion of those stock option awards will vest contingent upon meeting certain stock price appreciation performance goals or other performance conditions. Option and stock awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the employee stock option plan).

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted  700,000 stock options to senior management, directors, employees and consultants, with a strike price of $1.12. Each option carries a 5 year term.  Options received by senior management and directors will vest and become exercisable on achieving the following conditions: 1) one-third immediately upon grant, 2) one-third on the first anniversary of the grant, and 3) one-third upon the receipt of federal and state mining permits at the Grassy Mountain Project.  Stock Options received by employees and consultants will vest and become exercisable as follows: 1) one-half immediately upon grant, and  2) one-half on the first anniversary of the grant. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2020, share-based compensation expense relating to service condition options and performance condition was $176,973 and $24,492, respectively (2019- $15,586 and $15,610).

Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract]

Reclamation and Environmental

Note 8. Reclamation and Environmental:

The Company has funds in a commutation account which is used to reimburse reclamation costs and indemnity claims at its Sleeper Gold Project. It also has provided financial security for future reclamation work in the form of reclamation bonds held by the U.S Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) for the Sleeper Gold Project and Grassy Mountain Project.  The balance of the commutation account and reclamation bonds at December 31, 2020 is $462,925 (June 30, 2020- $695,041).

The Company holds an insurance policy which is in effect until 2033 related to its Sleeper Gold Project.  The policy covers reclamation costs up to an aggregate of $25 million in the event the Company’s commutation account is insufficient to cover any mandated reclamation obligations.

Reclamation and environmental costs are based principally on legal requirements.  Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mineral properties and properties under mine closure.  On an ongoing basis the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, however, actual amounts could differ from those based on estimates and assumptions.  

The asset retirement obligation at the Sleeper Gold Project has been measured using the following variables: 1) Expected costs for earthwork, re-vegetation, in-pit water treatment, on-going monitoring, labor and management, 2) Inflation adjustment, and 3) Market risk premium.  The sum of the expected costs by year is discounted using the Company’s credit adjusted risk free interest rate from the time it expects to pay the retirement obligation to the time it incurs the obligation.  The reclamation and environmental obligation recorded on the balance sheet is equal to the present value of the estimated costs.

The current undiscounted estimate of the reclamation costs for existing disturbances at the Sleeper Gold Project is $4,010,403 as required by the BLM and the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection. Assumptions used to compute the asset retirement obligations as at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 for the Sleeper Gold Project included a credit adjusted risk free rate and inflation rate of 9.76% (June 30, 2020– 9.76%) and 1.6% (June 30, 2020 – 1.6%), respectively. Expenses are expected to be incurred between the years 2021 and 2049.

Changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the six-month period ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended June 30, 2020 are as follows:

	Six-Month Period Ended December 31, 2020			Year Ended June 30, 2020

Accretion expense		30,020			94,591

Change in estimate of existing obligation		—			278,181
Balance at end of period	$	396,133		$	615,170

The balance of the asset retirement obligation of $396,133 at December 31, 2020 (June 30, 2020 -$615,170 ) is comprised of a current portion of $30,000 (June 30, 2020 -$154,231 ) and a non-current portion of $366,133 (June 30, 2020 -$460,939).
