Calidus Resources' Copenhagen Deposit Reveals Further High-Grade Gold Mineralisation

Keras Resources plc, the AIM listed mineral resource company, notes the update released by Calidus Resources Limited (ASX:CAI) ('Calidus') concerning the Company's recent drilling results from the Copenhagen Deposit, which forms part of the Company's Warrawoona Gold Project, located in the Pilbara of Western Australia. Calidus has announced that the Copenhagen Deposit has revealed additional shallow, thick high-grade gold mineralisation which extends a further 100m below the current resource. These results form part of a resource infill and extension programme which aims to expand the current resource to underpin a pre-feasibility study in 2019.

Keras is a significant shareholder of Calidus, with a current interest of 458m shares, 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.
