Keras Resources plc, the AIM listed mineral resource company, notes the news released by Calidus Resources Limited (ASX:CAI) ('Calidus') announcing the confirmation of extensive outcropping gold mineralisation at the Klondyke Shear Prospect ('Klondyke') in the centre of Calidus' 1.25 million ounce JORC compliant gold resource at its Warrawoona Gold Project ('Warrawoona' or the 'Project') in the Pilbara of Western Australia.

Keras currently holds 458 million shares in Calidus, representing approximately 32.3% of the current issued share capital of Calidus. On successful completion of Calidus' Pre-Feasibility Study ('PFS'), an additional 265m performance shares of Calidus ('Performance Shares') owned by Keras will be converted into ordinary shares.
