Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract]

Reclamation and Environmental

Note 8. Reclamation and Environmental

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 Company has posted several cash bonds as financial security to satisfy reclamation requirements. The balance of posted cash reclamation bonds at March 31, 2025 is $546,176 (June 30, 2024 - $546,176).

Paramount is responsible for managing the reclamation activities from the previous mine operations at the Sleeper Gold Mine as directed by the BLM and the Nevada State Department of Environmental Protection (“NDEP”). Paramount has estimated the undiscounted reclamation costs for existing disturbances at the Sleeper Gold Project required by the BLM to be $3,822,047. These costs are expected to be incurred between the calendar years 2025 and 2060. At March 31, 2025, Paramount has also estimated undiscounted reclamation cost as required by the NDEP to be $2,301,259. These costs are expected to be incurred between calendar years 2025 and 2041. The sum of expected costs by year are discounted using the Company’s credit adjusted risk free interest rate from the time it expects to pay for the reclamation to the time it incurs the obligation. The asset retirement obligation for the Sleeper Gold Project recorded on the balance sheet is equal to the present value of the estimated reclamation costs as required by both the BLM and NDEP.

The following variables were used in the calculation for the periods ending March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024:

	Nine Months Ended March 31, 2025			Year Ended June 30, 2024
Weighted-average credit adjusted risk free rate		9.93	%		9.93	%
Weighted-average inflation rate		2.53	%		2.53	%

Changes to the Company’s reclamation and environmental costs for the Sleeper Gold Mine for the nine month period ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended June 30, 2024 are as follows:

	Nine Months Ended March 31, 2025			Year Ended June 30, 2024
Balance at beginning of period	$	2,270,288		$	4,436,902
Accretion expense		179,794			442,234
Additions and change in estimates		—			(84,295	)
Settlements		(90,000	)		(2,524,553	)
Balance at end of period	$	2,360,082		$	2,270,288

The balance of the reclamation and environmental obligation of $2,360,082 at March 31, 2025 (June 30, 2024 -$2,270,288) is comprised of a current portion of $120,000 (June 30, 2024 -$120,000) and a non-current portion of $2,240,082 (June 30, 2024 - $2,150,288).

The Company recorded an accretion expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 of $45,619 and $179,794, respectively, (three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 of $110,558 and $331,676, respectively).
