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.
