Calidus Resources' Coronation Prospect Delivers Further High-Grade Results

Keras Resources plc, the AIM listed mineral resource company, is pleased to provide an update released by Calidus Resources Limited (ASX:CAI) ('Calidus') following its recent drilling results from the Coronation Prospect, which forms part of its wider Warrawoona Gold Project, located in the Pilbara of Western Australia. These results, that have yielded multiple high-grade intercepts including 10m @ 4.69g/t Au from 57m, are part of a resource infill and extension programme which is aimed at increasing the current JORC compliant 712,000 oz Au resource to in excess of 1Moz Au and will support the Pre-Feasibility Study targeted in 2019.

Keras has 458m shares in Calidus, representing approximately 35% of Calidus' total issued share capital. On successful completion of the Pre-Feasibility Study at Warrawoona, an additional 265m performance shares of Calidus ('Performance Shares') owned by Keras will be converted into ordinary shares of Calidus. Calidus' share price is currently 0.325p.

Highlights

· Results from a recent 18-hole 2,278m step-out and infill RC drilling programme have intersected high-grade gold at the Coronation prospect approximately 12km west of the Klondyke Resource area

· Significant results include:

o 10m @ 4.69g/t Au from 57m in 18CRRC020

o 5m @ 4.48g/t Au from 35m in 18CRRC022

Russell Lamming, Chief Executive Officer of Keras, commented, "These results continue to demonstrate both the quality of the Warrawoona Project and underpin the potential to build on the current Mineral Resource of 712,000 oz Au. With two drill rigs operating at the Klondyke and St George Shear sites, we expect further results as the Calidus team continues to push forward with the resource expansion ahead of 2019's planned Pre-Feasibility Study. I look forward to reporting further updates in the coming months in tandem with development from our Manganese project in Togo which is currently undergoing a bulk sample."
