Para Provides Update on Gold Road Mine
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2018) - Para Resources Inc. (TSXV: PBR) (WKN: A14YF1) (OTC Pink: PRSRF) (the "Company" or "Para") is pleased to announce that is has successfully completed the dewatering of its 88% owned Gold Road underground mine in Arizona. Completing dewatering has allowed underground rehabilitation work to continue at the lowest levels of the mine. In addition, approximately 11,000 feet of the decline ramp has been rehabilitated, providing rubber tire access. Initial ventilation has been established, the electrical system has been re-energized and the compressed air system installed. The completion of this work has allowed access to all areas of the mine for sampling and assaying as required for the NI 43-101 PEA which is scheduled to be completed in early April.
Mr. Ian Harris, Para's President states, "Dewatering completion is a significant milestone moving us closer to completing the rehabilitation of the Gold Road Mine. With mine access reestablished we can finalize our resampling program to update historical resources, the mine plan and production restart."
