Accordingly, Conex Services beneficially owns an aggregate 25,855,237 Shares and 12,500,000 Warrants of the Company, representing approximately 41.78% of the 61,882,441 issued and outstanding Shares of the Company on an undiluted basis, and approximately 51.56% of the Company’s 74,382,441 issued and outstanding Shares, on a fully diluted basis, assuming exercise of the Warrants held by Conex Services.

Mr. Walsh personally holds 1,570,224 Shares of the Company and warrants to acquire an additional 1,285,112 Shares of the Company.

Conex Services and Para have also entered into a credit facility agreement dated March 31st, 2016 (the “Credit Facility“).

The Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and each drawdown on the Credit Facility (a “Drawdown“) will be secured by a promissory note in favour of Conex Services.

As additional consideration for the Credit Facility, the Company will issue Conex a bonus equal to 20 percent of the principal amount of each Drawdown, payable by the issuance of common shares of Para (the “Bonus Shares“), at a deemed price equivalent to the last closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange“) before each Drawdown is advanced, subject to a minimum price of $0.05 per Bonus Share.

The Credit Facility and issuance of the Bonus Shares is subject to the acceptance of the Exchange and the Bonus Shares may be subject to resale restrictions of not less than four months and one day from their date of issuance. The Credit Facility is subject to standard default terms for a transaction of this size and nature.

The Credit Facility is a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). Because the Company’s shares trade only on the Exchange, the Credit Facility is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 pursuant to Subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61-101. Because the Credit Facility is not convertible, directly or indirectly, into equity or voting securities of the Company or repayable in equity or voting securities of the Company the Credit Facility is exempt from the minority approval requirements of Section 5.6 of MI 61-101 pursuant to Subsection 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101.

The issuance of the Bonus Shares to Conex Services also constitutes is a “related party transaction” under MI 61-101. Because the Company’s shares trade only on the Exchange, the issuance of Bonus Shares is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 pursuant to Subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, and exempt from the minority approval requirements of Section 5.6 of MI 61-101 pursuant to Subsection 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101.

Mr. Geoff Hampson, President and Chief Executive officer of Para stated: “Mr. Glenn Walsh and his company Conex Services, have demonstrated and continue to demonstrate a huge commitment to assisting Para Resources in building the company from a small scale to a mid-tier gold producing and toll milling company. Conex’ recent cash equity investment of close to $3 Million and the credit facility of an additional $3 Million, has allowed Para to complete the rehabilitation and upgrade of the El Limon mine located near Zaragoza, Antioquia, Colombia, including the purchase of a new ball mill, increasing through-put to 200 TPD of crushed rock and 200 TPD of tailings. The credit facility has a 2 year term with interest accruing and payable at term. This loan is non-dilutive and can be paid back out of future cash flow from the El Limon mine.”

ABOUT PARA RESOURCES:

Para Resources is an exploration-stage gold mining and toll milling company. In addition to its existing properties, Para will continue to take advantage of current market conditions to acquire and develop additional assets that have strong exploration and development potential.
