ABOUT PARA RESOURCES:
Para Resources Inc. ("Para") is a junior gold mining and exploration company. The Company owns the El Limon project that includes existing or near-term mining and milling operations as well as highly prospective exploration properties. The Company has acquired fully permitted mines and facilities with adjacent properties that have either been past producers or where there is an abundance of small-scale artisanal miners, dramatically reducing the exploration risk. It is anticipated that the operating mines will be profitable in the short term, providing a return on capital, as stand-alone entities and funding regional exploration to expand resources.
Para is unique in that the Insiders have invested more than US $30 million of their own capital and own approximately 70% of the Company's equity.
Para's management team is seasoned and proven, having discovered, built, managed and sold several different mines over the last 40 years.
