ABOUT PARA RESOURCES:
Para is a junior producing gold mining company. Para owns approximately 80% of the El Limon project, in Colombia, which in
addition to its current underground operation is purchasing mineralized rock mined by small artisanal miners working on the
Company's property. The El Limon and OTU properties also have exploration and development upside. The Company also
owns 88% of the Gold Road Mine in the Oatman District of Arizona. The Company has hired RPM Global as consulting
engineers in order to produce a NI 43-101 Technical Report which it expects will establish a current Mineral Resource estimate
and anticipates that it will publish a NI 43-101 PEA thereafter.
Para will continue to take advantage of current market conditions
to acquire and develop additional highly economic, near-term production assets that have strong exploration and development
upside.
