3 holes to end of alteration zone + 10m into bedrock,

National Instrument 43-101 standards.
Geoff Hampson, Para's CEO states, "We are excited at the possibility of replicating the results attained in the 1997-98 drilling
program and to determine the width and breadth of the formations encountered there. We continue to believe that there are
many different systems at play on the Company's El Limon and Otu properties. Hampson further states, "The Company's goal is
to prove out the presence of a resource at depth along the Otu fault as evidenced by artisanal miners working the system at
surface."
Drilling results are expected before year end.

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 National Instrument 43-101 ("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 Preliminary Economic Assessment 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.
