PARAMOUNT GOLD AND SILVER CORP. SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Former SEC Attorney Willie Briscoe and Powers Taylor LLP Investigate Sale to Coeur Mining, Inc.


Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor LLP are investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. ("Paramount") (NYSE MKT: PZG) concerning the sale to Coeur Mining, Inc. (NYSE:CDE). Under the terms of the agreement, Paramount shareholders will receive 0.2016 shares of CDE for each Paramount share owned. Based on the closing price of CDE before the deal was announced, the consideration for Paramount shareholders is valued at approximately $0.90. This consideration is significantly ower than the 52-week high of $1.48. Shareholders will also receive a pro rate portion of shares of Spinco, Paramount's newly formed company which is expected to apply for listing on NYSE MKT or the Toronto Stock Exchange.
