Yahoo Finance Phase 1 Drilling Program on Tr-Ue Vein in Oatman, Az
Vein width of between 0.61 m and 4.7 m at grades between 9.4 and 13.6 gpt Au
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 17, 2019) - Para Resources Inc. (TSXV: PBR) (WKN: A14YF1) (OTC PINK: PRSRF) (the "Company" or "Para") is pleased to announce the initial certified assay results of the phase 1 drilling program on the Tr-Ue vein started this summer. The Tr-Ue vein forms a part of the Gold Road claims and is approximately 1.6 kms from the Gold Road mill on a paved highway.
Results from the first 4 holes of the 9-hole program have been received from ALS Laboratories in Tucson, Az. The program is focused on the Tr-Ue vein which is about 1.6 kilometers from and is parallel to the Gold Road vein. The program was developed to orient historical production maps and drill information, much of which is from the early 1900's and most of which show historical production at significantly higher grades that Gold Road.
Highlights include (with full details included in the table below):
Quartz-calcite vein material with gold mineralization was encountered in all but one of the 4 completed holes
Drill hole TVGR-2 intersected 4.72 m (3.38 m true width) of gold mineralization in a quartz-calcite vein which averaged 9.39 gpt gold, including a 1.7 m intercept (1.18 m true width) at 13.61 gpt gold.
TVGR-06 intersected 3.2 m at an average grade of 11.55 gpt gold (true width of 2.28 m)
TVGR-07 intersected 0.61 m at 13.99 gpt gold (true width 0.43 m).
Ian Harris, President of Para Resources stated, "We are very pleased with the initial results of our drilling program at Gold Road. The program has consistently hit the mineralized structure we were targeting and, in many cases, at significant grade and thickness. The program is the first step in orienting our sizeable database of historical data on the Tr-Ue vein, and goal of establishing future high-grade feed for the Gold Road mill. The full drilling program planned for the Tr-Ue has been designed to identify economically significant tons of mineralized material that can be transported 1.6 kms to the Company's fully permitted, highly efficient and operating mill at Gold Road. The goal is to process higher grade material which could have a significant impact on the number of ounces produced and a reduction in AISC".
Background:
Initial exploration drilling conducted during the summer included 9 core/reverse-circulation drill holes. Initial holes were drilled with a reverse circulation drill (holes TVGR-01 to 05). TVGR-02 was completed with HQ core. Hole TVGR-6 was drilled with NQ core (wedged out of TVGR-02) and hole TVGR-07 was drilled HQ core. Of these 9 holes, 7 have been completed to date. Drilling is continuing at this time. Results for assays were received on September 11, 2019. Quartz-calcite vein material with gold mineralization has been encountered in all but one of the completed holes. Certified results have been received for 4 holes on all sections that tested above 0.10 opt in internal laboratory.
Hole Highlights:
Drill hole TVGR-2 intersected 15.5 feet (about 11.1 feet - true width) of gold mineralization in a quartz-calcite vein which averaged 9.39 gpt (0.274 opt) gold. A 5.5 feet intercept (true width 3.9 feet assayed 13.61 gpt (0.397 opt) gold).

TVGR-06 intersected 10.5 feet at an average of 11.55 gpt (0.337 opt) gold (true width of 7.5 feet).
TVGR-07 intersected 2.0 feet which assayed 13.99 gpt (0.408 opt) gold (true width 1.4 feet).
TVGR-01 was drilled above stopes of the United Western mine, intersected the vein containing 5.0' of 2.19 gpt (0.064 opt) gold (true width 3.6 feet).
Holes TVGR-02, TVGR-06 and TVGR-07 (reported here) are all within a zone between the United Western mine and the higher grade United Eastern mine.

Holes TVGR-08 is pending assays and TVGR-09 is currently being drilled.
Collar locations have been tied to satellite photography and prior drilling collars. Collars are to be surveyed and tied to BLM surveyed patented claim corners in the coming weeks. In-the-hole surveying of azimuth and dip are to be contracted at the completion of this phase of drilling.
QA/QC: After completion of drilling each day the core was secured in a locked facility at the mine site to preserve the chain of custody. Under supervision at the mine site the core was subsequently sawed in half and one half was sawed in half and the quarter intervals were shipped to ALS laboratories in Tucson, Arizona for prep and then assayed at ALS's lab in Reno, Nevada. The other quarter core intervals were assayed by the mine site laboratory. The remaining ½ core interval was retained in secure storage for potential further assay and metallurgical test work.

ABOUT PARA RESOURCES:
Para Resources Inc. ("Para") is a junior gold mining and exploration company. The Company owns two projects that both include 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 are an abundance of small 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 a stand-alone entities and funding regional exploration to build out 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. The Company has two major projects: The Gold Road Mine in Arizona, USA and the El Limon Mine in Zaragoza, Colombia.
