Geoff Hampson, Para's CEO states, "We are excited at the possibility of replicating the results attained in the 1997-98 drilling program and to determine the width and breadth of the formations encountered there. We continue to believe that there are many different systems at play on the Company's El Limon and Otu properties. Hampson further states, "The Company's goal is to prove out the presence of a resource at depth along the Otu fault as evidenced by artisanal miners working the system at surface."

Drilling results are expected before year end.
