Executive summary
3
Para Resources Inc. (“Para”), (TSXV:PBR) (WKN – “A14YF1”) (OTC – “PRSRF”) is an emerging gold mining company with mining operations
in Zaragoza, Colombia and in Oatman, Arizona.
Para’s strategy is to develop or acquire existing small scale mining operations (15-50,000 ounces per year) where cash flow from these
operations can be used to finance an exploration program without having to seek additional financing from shareholders or investors.
Strategy is to identify, acquire and build or rehabilitate existing mine and milling operations with large contiguous holdings of mineral rights in
areas of interesting and under explored geology. The company focuses on regions of good prospective geology as evidenced by the presence
of small miners or other historic mines on the Company’s property.
Proven Management team who have collectively invested > US $13 million of their own money and have expertise in business, financing,
geology, mine engineering, metallurgy and a proven background of building, operating and selling gold mines.
Management has delivered the following:
1. Acquired a 78% interest in the El Limon Mine in late 2015, invested USD $7 million and is in final commissioning of a refurbished 225
TPD mining and milling operation in Zaragosa, Colombia. Ownership will increase to over 85% due to investment. Commissioning is
scheduled to be completed by Q4 2017
2. Acquired the Gold Road Mine in Northwestern Arizona where more than 700,000 ounces have been produced. Also secured leases and
agreements with owners of adjacent mineral rights where there are extensive un-explored areas surrounding the Gold Road properties.
More than 2.1 million ounces have been produced from these properties since 1903. The Gold Road mine itself has many years of
resource remaining that will be quantified in an NI 43-101 Resource Estimate to be published in Q1 2018. In addition to the areas that
have been developed for mining and where production drilling and channel samples have been taken, the deposit is open at depth.

Identify and acquire small scale mining properties with
milling and processing capability in good prospective areas
where small scale local miners (historic, legal and illegal) or
historic mines are present
Acquire adjacent or nearby mineral rights in order to legally
be able to buy mineralized rock from the small miners or re-
open historic mines.
Build or acquire a scalable and environmentally responsible
milling and processing facility using leaching and dry
stacking of tails
Purchase feed material from other local miners or re-start
historical mines to reduce variability of mining output
Over time, utilize historical grade from third party purchases
and other historical claims to determine which source
provides the highest grade material leading Para to invest
in increasing production and efficiencies in the locations
that provide the best ore.
Use non-dilutive cash flow to fund an on-going exploration
program to establish a NI 43-101 Compliant Resource
Estimate that may lead to the development of a larger scale
mine.
Strategy
6
Para is not a Toll
Milling Operation. Para
buys the mineralized
rock that
is delivered to the mill
site and processes it to
recover the gold.

El Limon (Colombia)
7
Para has invested USD $ 7.0 mm to upgrade the El Limon mine
and processing plant to increase potential throughput to 225 TPD.
Para, through a new wholly owned Colombian subsidiary, Zara
Holdings S.A.S., has also acquired the adjacent 21,000 Ha of
mineral rights
EL Limon will achieve commercial production in Q4 2017
Rehabilitation and increased plant throughput from 50 TPD to 225
TPD includes a new 7 x 7 ball mill which is now installed and
operational
Underground mining at El Limon is restricted by the size of the
main winch and averages 50-75 TPD at approximately 6.0 – 10.0
g/mt of Au
An additional 150 – 175 TPD of feed material will be sourced from
existing mining operations on the Company’s 22,000 Ha which
have been formalized under Colombian government policy.
Mine feed from the artisanal miners, which is mined from
essentially the same vein system as at El Limon, is expected to be
of slightly higher grade as these small miners will ship less waste
decreasing dilution.

Purchasing from artisanal miners at El Limon, Colombia
8
Small mining strategy has been proven by Management with B2
Mining in Nicaragua and with Hemco Mining
Larger mining companies looking for solutions
El Limon only purchases mineralized rock from small miners working
on property where Para owns the mineral rights
For example, our current experience at El Limon indicates the
following economics:
• Assuming USD $1,200/ounce and an average grade of 8 gpt Au
• Para pays miner USD $131/MT (50% of Au at 85% recovery)
• Processing costs are USD $60/T
• Para’s total cost is USD $743/ounce
Social benefits and advantages:
• Government gets royalty
• No mercury pollution
• Small miner is legalized
• Para hedges mining risk and cost
PARA RESOURCES INC – (TSXV -”PBR”) (WKN – (“A14YF1”) (OTC – “PRSRF”)
El Limon – Exploration potential
9
In July 2016 Para purchased approximately 21,000 Ha of
mineral rights surrounding the El Limon Mine and property
There are several active mines on the OTU property (see
map) that have been operating without proper permits. Para
is currently in the process of “formalizing” these operations
with the support of the Colombian government which
includes processing the mineralized rock at El Limon
Over 500 local artisanal miners within a 150 km circle of El
Limon are mining suitable feed material with an estimated
range of diluted grade between 8-15 gpt of Au
The main structure present in the area is the Otu Fault that
crosses the area from North to South. The known vein
systems of the region extend up to 2-3 km. Veins dip are
typically around 30-40°, and occasionally sub-vertical
Para will conduct an exploration program on the newly
acquired properties and on the El Limon property to
establish a NI 43-101 resource to justify increasing the size
of the processing plant and developing a more robust Area

El Limon historic drill logs
10
In 1997 and 98 a drilling program on the El Limon
property indicated a large mineralized zone close to or
at surface. The intersections were significant and not
related to the narrow vein system currently being mined
at El Limon.
The drilling core is no longer available and these results
are not NI 43-101 compliant. In order to fully understand
the system and to use those results to develop a
compliant resource, Para will twin the historic drill holes
in late 2017
This type of exploration upside is a key element of
Para’s strategy to target areas that are highly
prospective, have not been properly explored and are
evidenced by the presence of small miners.

Gold Road Mine (Arizona)
11
In August 2017 Para, through its 88% owned subsidiary Gold Road Mining Corp., completed the acquisition of the Gold Road
Mine, located in the historic Oatman Mining District in northwest Arizona
Para acquired the mine, patented claims, a 500 TPD CIP mill and processing facility including all rolling stock, vehicles,
laboratory and other assets for US $7 million.
Payment terms were US $1 million at the close with the balance of US $ 6 million in annual payments of US $1 million each,
without interest on the next six anniversaries of the close.

The historic production from the four mines included in
the property holdings of Gold Road Mining has been
over 2.3 million ounces as follows*:
Gold Road – 750,000 oz. at 0.31 opt
Tom Reed – 568,000 oz. at 0.61 opt
United Eastern – 729,000 oz. at 1.03 opt
United Western – 350,000 oz at 0.63 opt
Deposits in the district are classic volcanic-hosted
epithermal gold veins
Mineralization was precipitated along with quartz and
calcite as open-space fillings along structures that were
active before, during and after the deposition of the
mineralization
The deposits have typical characteristics of epithermal
deposits throughout the United States, including:
Cripple Creek, Midas, Tonopah, Comstock and Sleeper
