UPDATE NI 43-101 TECHNICAL REPORT ON OPTIONED CLAIMS
COVERING THE TR-UE VEIN ADJACENT TO THE GOLD ROAD MINE
Option agreements and new staking covering an additional 69 patented and 74
unpatented claims representing 2,846.4 acres
April 11, 2018, Vancouver, B.C. -- Para Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Para”) (TSXV -
“PBR”) (WKN – “A14YF1”) (OTC – “PRSRF”) is pleased to announce that an NI 43-101
Technical Report entitled “2018 Technical Report on the Oatman Gold District Properties” dated
April 10, 2018 and authored by James R. Guilinger, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 has
been filed on SEDAR and is available for review. The Oatman Gold District Properties include
multiple option agreements that Para has secured and staked that are in addition to the
adjacent Gold Road Mine property that is the subject of the updated NI 43-101 Technical Report
filed on SEDAR February 16, 2018.
Some selected highlights from the report:
• Para has secured option agreements with various property owners covering 69 patented
and 2 unpatented claims. In addition, Para has staked an additional 72 unpatented
claims surrounding these patented claims. This land package covers all the known
significant historical mines in the Tr-Ue vein system.
• Historical production from these claims on the Tr-Ue vein system was 1,930,000 tons at
an average grade of 21.4 grams per ton, yielding 1,324,230 ounces of gold between
1897 and 1940.
• Historic mines located along the Tr-Ue vein system and throughout the district occur in
veins of epithermal origin hosted in volcanic country rock consisting primarily of either
the Tertiary Gold Road Latite or the Oatman andesite.
• The historical chutes on the Tr-Ue system produced approximately 200 to 500 thousand
ounces and graded from 0.6 to 1.1- ounce (18.66 – 34.21 grams) gold per ton.
• Approximately 7 major chutes have been mined. The thicker chutes were between 30
and 50 feet thick and were 300 to 600 feet long. An average chute is estimated at 10
feet thick. The depth of the stopes is unknown as the vein was still present on the lower
levels of the workings although thinner and lower grade.
• The report recommends a US $7 million multi-year phased exploration program
consisting of 135 drill holes, representing approximately 30,000 meters of drilling on
seven targets. Each of the targets potentially contain multiple mineralized chutes each
potentially containing 300,000 to 700,000 tons of mineralized material grading 0.3 to 1.0
ounces of gold per ton (90,000 to 700,000 ounces of gold).
The potential grade and quantity noted is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient
exploration to define a current mineral resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in
the target being delineated as a mineral resource. The potential quantity and grade has been
determined based on historical analysis.
The historic gold production on the Tr-Ue Vein system is as follows:

Total 1,930,000 0.69 (21.40) 1,324,230
Para’s CEO, Geoff Hampson states, “We are very pleased to announce the acquisition of
historic mines on the Tr-Ue vein system in the main part of the Oatman district and contiguous
to our Gold Road Mine and Mill complex. The Tr-Ue Vein properties acquired, historically
produced over 1,324,230 ounces of gold. For the first time the districts three largest historical
mines, Gold Road, United Eastern, and Tom Reed, have been consolidated into a single
package.” Hampson further states that, “These mines have historically been higher grade and
have greater thickness than the Gold Road Mine. We expect to be able to finance the proposed
exploration program over the next several years with the cash flow expected to be produced
from the Gold Road Mine when it resumes production.”
Para’s President, Ian Harris states, “The recent completion of the dewatering of the Gold Road
Mine and verification sampling will allow the completion of the soon to be released PEA, which
will be based solely on the potential Gold Road resource. The fact that the 500 TPD CIP Mill is
fully permitted to receive mineralized material and only kilometers away on pave road from the
Tr-Ue historic mining operations, present a unique opportunity to dramatically increase gold
production at the Company’s Gold Road operation.”

The NI 43-101 Technical Report can be found on SEDAR at the following link:
http://bit.ly/2018Para43-101
Mr. James R Guilinger, SEG, MMSA#01172QP is a qualified person under NI 43-101 and is the
author of Technical Report on the Gold Road Mine, NI 43-101 Technical Report and is
responsible for the technical disclosure 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 explorat ion 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.
