PARA RESOURCES ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF THE ACQUISITION OF
GOLD ROAD MINE IN NORTHWESTERN ARIZONA
August 23, 2017, Vancouver, B.C. -- Para Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Para”) (TSXV - “PBR”) (WKN
– “A14YF1”) (OTC – “PRSRF”) is pleased to announce that the TSXV has accepted for filing the Company’s
asset purchase agreement involving the acquisition of all of the assets comprising the Gold Road Mine
from Mojave Desert Minerals LLC (the “Vendor”). The Gold Road Mine , located in Oatman, Arizona , is
the only fully permitted mine in the largest primary gold district of Arizona. Consequently, the
transaction closed on August 23, 2017.
The closing of the asset purchase agree ment positions the Company with its second mining operations
being the acquisition of all of the patented and unpatented claims comprising the Gold Road Mine, the
mill site and water rights claims, the mining and milling equipment (500 TPD cyanide leach facility),
related buildings, warehouse, vehicles, lab equipment and all assets comprising the facility.
The Company is currently interviewing consultants and engineers to begin work on the NI 43 -101 report
which it expects will establish a current mineral resource and assist the C ompany in developing the
mining plan. This work is expected to be completed in Q4 of 2017 with mining and processing operation
anticipated to re-start before the end of the year.
Para CEO, Geoff Hampson states, “ We are very pleased to have closed the acquisition of Gold Road and
we look forward to the completion of our consultants work that will enable us to provide a resource in
compliance with NI 43 -101 and an updated mine plan before the end of the year. . We have the cash on
hand to finance these activities.” In addition, Mr. Hampson states, “We believe that Go ld Road will add
significantly to Para’s production of gold ounces when combined with the production at E l Limon which
continues to ramp up during the commissioning phase.”
ABOUT GOLD ROAD
A modern fully permitted 500 TPD cyanide leach (CIP) mill, which last operated in June of 2016, is
located at the Gold Road site. The site has recently permitted over 20 years of additional dry stack
tailings capacity. All surface disturbance is on private land. The 500 TPD mill and cyanide leach operation
has been on c are and maintenance for one year and is in good working order. It is believed that no
major capital costs will be incurred to restart the mill. In the mine, prior development efforts extended
the main haulage slope to the bottom of the mine and drifted over 2,000 feet, exposing potential mining
blocks. Exploration potential is considered very good, as the vein is open to the east and down dip.
Historic production grade was between 6 to 9 grams per ton with vein widths at 1.5 to 1.8 meters. The
mine will require dewatering below level 700 to allow access to level 820.
Paulo J. Andrade, BSc Senior Geologist, vice -president and country manager for Para Resources is
considered by TSX and ASX a Competent Person according to CIM (NI-43-101) and JORC standards as a
member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (MAIG # 6136), who is responsible for the technical
disclosure contained in this news release.
If the Company were to bring the Gold Road Mine into production without first establishing mineral
reserves supported by an NI 43 -101 technical report and completing a feasibility study, the Company
cautions that this could result in higher risk of economic or technical failure of the operation than if a
feasibility study had been prepared demonstrating economic and technical viability. There are no
assurances that the Gold Road Mine will be found to be economic.
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 recently acqui red the Gold Road
Mine in the Oatman District of Arizona. The Company is hiring outside engineers and consultants in
order to produce a NI 43 -101 Resource Report and may publish a NI 43 -101 PEA. In addition, the
Company has applied for the necessary permit s to commence trial mining operations at its Angelim
prospect on the Tucuma Project in Para State, Brazil. 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.
